Just following up on my recent post about the giant Mayflower marionette commercial, above is the Australian TV spot that I referred to that also features a giant marionette. If, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then Royal DeLuxe should feel extremely flattered. Giant marionettes like theirs have been turning up [...]
Con Quest is the host of the weekly Corporate Creatures Business News podcast. Corporate Creatures is a new initiative from puppeteer Gary Friedman.

Through Corporate Creatures Gary is providing live interactive corporate workshops, corporate [...]
Dracula greets guests to The Monster’s Birthday Party. The Monster’s Birthday Party is a short film by Phillip Einfeld that’s in the same vein as Spook House Dave and Transylvania TV (me thinks me does detect a trend here). The puppetry in it is sometimes a little stiff, but the level of detail and work [...]

Shan found this particular marionette on ebay, but these types of [...]

Toy Theatre inspires Lines on Palms, the latest Josh Pyke music video. Lines on Palms is the video for a recent single from Australian singer Josh Pyke. It’s filled with lots of simple, but very effective puppetry. The whole video looks like it takes place in a wonderfully whimsical giant toy theatre. Thanks to Mike [...]
When I started writing PuppetVision there was I think exactly one puppet web series – Mario’s Word of The Week – and the term “podcast” didn’t yet apply to videos so it’s pretty incredible that less than three short years later there are now so many people producing shows via video sharing sites like YouTube [...]

It’s by an Australian company called Isore Productions and sort [...]
