The puppet's been finished for a while, but I didn't want to show it off until I had finished the video we had started.



{The video has since been finished, and can be found in by clicking here.}



The video will take some more doing, but here's some stuff anyway:

During shooting of the video.

Some New Photos

Blank character fun.                I'd like to make this a header.

Threeee Deeeeee...                  Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Floyd

Puttin' On the Ritz VIDEO

Video after the break

Quick video in the works

Ages ago, I felt like it had been too long since I'd tried to make some kind of video, so I started on something.  Just a simple lip-sync.

I took the four blank puppets I had, quickly dressed them up, then attempted to perform a 4-part musical number with the aid of a green screen and some computer magic.

The cast:

He eventually gets eyes.

I wish I had some hair to give her...  oh well.

There's a reason for the wonky eyes.  You'll see..

Very fun one to perform.

The preview:

This is a very rough work in progress shot...  the background is basically a test-pattern.  (an arbitrary photo I had)  

Round Orange Puppet

This is another blank character I whipped up.
I call it "the orange one" ...or just "fatty."


It took some special planning, most notably in the stomach.

Puppet Rack & Photos

Now they have a place where I can display them...  and they're out of the way.




I didn't realize until I put all this up that I have as many blank characters as finished characters.  sweet.

Floyd, now with 100% more tongue.

Staniel... posing, apparently.

Gertie is too close.

Erma wants you off her lawn. 

Staniel is up to something.

Chef Character Ideas

I've had this idea brewing for a while now.

Two chef characters with some sort of cooking show.  One would be the old, wise, master chef, and the other would be a bumbling apprentice that despite their enthusiasm, can't seem to get things right.

After thinking it over for a bit, I realized that it would play out much like a combination between a Muppet-Labs and Swedish Chef sketch.

At first I was a bit disappointed in my apparent lack of originality.  The more I thought about it though, I thought it sounded like a whole lot of fun anyway.






Thinking about it now, I think it might be fun to work in a little bit of Mythbusters, as well, since Adam and Jamie's personalities fit so well into the dynamic of these characters.
