This street performance video makes me want to be a Puppeteer!

Check it out:

That looks like it takes a lot of skill to make the puppet look and move that great.

Sooo.

I’m waiting to see YOUR puppet video, posted here…

A very high level of skill, technique, humor and showmanship. Very entertaining and you start to believe that little bonehead is alive!:stuck_out_tongue:

Whenever I see that word, I automatically think of Larry Niven’s Pierson’s Puppeteers.

Awesome dancing and puppet-comedy. That guy could use a little stage or backdrop to get his legs out of the picture and add more “life” to the little guy.

It’s a testament to his amazing craft that it wasn’t even necessary! I was too busy marveling at his performance to think about anything else.

Sometimes simplicity can be perfection, as it is in this case!:slight_smile: Conversely, I’ve seen some major productions with all the bells and whistles, but little or no substance. I like the fact that all that extraneious stuff is stripped away, to show the true heart & sole of the act. :smiley:

wow thats great, its timed perfectly and you actually think the pupet is alive! but how about a pupet like that doing uni trials!!! that would be cool;)
