Moving Puppet is a French puppet production studio that has been an inspiration to me for a long time. I love the fun and slightly bizarre look to the characters that they create. The website is in French, but the work speaks for itself. To see their work in action, be sure to check out [...]
I’ve recently been in contact with Ian Greeb, artist and fantastic sculptor of soft foam, and just had to share some of his work with everyone here on Puppet Buzz. Ian’s creations are entirely sculpted from blocks of soft foam and yet, as you can see, incredibly detailed. I’ve always been a fan of an [...]
Personally, I’m a “hand puppet guy”, but I never get tired of watching great marionette tricks. I don’t know very much about the Grangers (the puppeteers in the video), but I do know that to get a marionette figure to actually walk, one foot in front of the other, takes a genius “behind the strings”.

Production value is everything. Just look at how amazing this little commercial for LG phones is. The puppets look great and the colours are amazingly vibrant. I love it and I hope you do as well. Be sure to check out a couple more outakes from their Youtube channel.

I love behind the scenes footage. Here are some I found on Youtube. Enjoy! Part 1 Part 2
I want to start a series of posts that I find personally inspirational. I mean things that inspire me to continue to be involved in puppetry. This leads me to Pogo Puppet Productions. This company is run by two young teenagers and reminds me of the inspiration that “desire to try” that youth can bring to puppetry. I [...]
Different things catch my eye for different reasons. I stumbled across videos for Irish basedNoel Lambert Touring Puppet Theatre on Youtube (please check out there site to find out more about them). The thing that jumped out at me was the colourful set design. I think that there is a balance that needs to be [...]
In English that translates into “Wonderful Puppets!” That is exactly what you’ll find from German puppet builder Norman Schneider (please note the website is in German so you may need to use an online translation tool to fully understand it). I had a chance to visit his website and I can say that I am an [...]
