Hindi Puppet Show?

Okay, I don’t know much about Bollywood, other than they are one of the biggest movie making industries in the world.  These videos appear to be in the Hindi language, but what is cool is the use of English in some of their dialogue.  If you speak Hindi, enjoy.  If you don’t, see if you [...]

Widget Inc. Puppetry

Check out these videos by Widget Inc. These guys are great and have found a new fan in me. I just posted a video that Widget Inc. had created, and the more I looked into it, the bigger of a fan I became. I am really into the production quality of puppetry productions, even simple [...]

The Friendless Monkey And The Bee

Okay. So why did I post this? I enjoyed it. Well, I agree that it is not the best built puppets, but I think they have a very appealing quality to them. And the puppeteering is not so great, I was a bit distracted by the puppeteers head and a good amount of arm in [...]

Dinosaurs Behind the Scenes

I love behind the scenes of puppet television productions. Here is a great example of what can happen behind the scenes. Here is Kevin Clash playing Baby Sinclair and having fun with the people on set.

Puppet Winter Wonderland

There are lots of lip syncing videos out there.  I am normally not very impressed, because they are always so basic.  Well check out this one.  Great editing, great use of camera angles, movement and layers of puppets make it very entertaining.  Enjoy.

Puppet Heap Hiring
