Our very own Pasha Romanowski of Project Puppet, has just launched one of the most exciting new websites/companies since…well…ummmm…Project Puppet! The new website is called Puppetsmith and it (in a nutshell) looks to offer tutorials to puppet builders on how to use some more advanced puppet building techniques.

Space Knights is a show from New Zealand, that retells the tales of the Knights of the Round Table using puppets. The puppets themselves were built by Chris Slane, political cartoonist for the NZListener, chief sculptor and puppeteer for TV series. Check out a sample of the show with these three videos. Enjoy!
I love behind the scenes video. Well, here is a gem! The people over at Furry Puppet have just worked on a couple of puppets for some (possible) Go Daddy campaign. The puppets are beautiful, but the mechanisms and the people working on these puppets are even more amazing to hear and see. I am [...]

Well this looks great. Forget the fact that you can win $10,000, I am interested in the puppet videos. I was very entertained. The writing is funny and visually it is very well produced. The puppets have a simple but nice look and the puppeteering is not that bad. I do however have a very [...]
I have been looking for this company, video and information for a long time. I heard about them a good while back and lost all information about them. Well, I tracked them down. How awesome is GLOW? I think pretty darn awesome. This is an Austrian, theatre company that uses live actors, and blacklight puppetry [...]
This video is by Cedwan Hooks. He was a part of a company started with a friend that I did a write up about called Pogo Puppet Productions. Although their old YouTube channel is gone, he has his own channel and is still working on his puppet video skills. Check it out.
