The Fall Madness Begins

Well, it looks like I’m insane lucky enough to be extremely busy this month, with not one, not two, but three film projects on the go. I was already shooting a documentary about puppetry and in development on another film (more about those projects hopefully soon!), but I’ve just had a new project land in...

Aaaaaaand we’re back

I stopped regularly updating PuppetVision about a year ago due to serious illness in my family, professional commitments and because frankly I wanted to spend more time doing puppetry rather than writing about it. The past year has been a wild ride for me - in ways both terrible and wonderful - and as I...

Cleaning Up and Apologising

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. I had previously posted a couple of messages on here about some of the personal upheaval that’s kept me away from the puppetry intrawebs for so long. I’m somewhat reluctant to discuss my personal life and circumstances in a public forum like this – if anything recent events...

Follow Me On Twitter

Are you on Twitter? Like any good early adopter/online-fad-chasing-blogger I’ve had a Twitter account set-up for quite awhile now. Lately I’ve really been getting in to it too, so follow me on Twitter. You can read my random musings, eaves drop on conversations I’m having with fellow Twitters and find links to neat/cool/funny puppet videos...

Weekend Puppet Catch-Up

While I’ve not been blogging there’s been tons of puppet related stuff going on. I think it’s impossible to cover it all, but here’s a quick look at some of the interesting stuff that’s been happening: Patrick Algermissen has made a short film called Pupsock & Wendell in The Gallery of Doom that sounds really...

Not Posting, Heart Attacks (not really) and Feist

Hi all, it’s been almost 3 weeks since my last post, for which I truly apologise. I’ve been working on some puppetry stuff pretty intensely lately as I mentioned before. A few people actually emailed me because they were concerned something had happened to me, which was ironic because I was fine until last weekend...

Happy Canada Day

Happy Birthday Canada! Today is one of my favourite holidays…the day Canadians celebrate a bunch of British colonies being brought together as “one Dominion under the name of Canada” by going to BBQs, rock concerts, festivals, fairs and watching stuff blow up in the sky at night. Like all nations our history is imperfect, but...

"Puppet Business" Week on PuppetVision

I haven’t been able to post much this week due to being busy with other things, but I want to make up for it this week with a series of posts devoted to “Puppet Business”, specifically looking at tips and techniques from myself and (especially) others on how to upgrade, expand and make your web...

Busy, Busy, Busy

You may have noticed that posting has been a little uneven here lately, especially with regular features like Monday Morning Inspiration and the Weekly Puppet Web Series Round-Up. I’ve been busy the last few weeks with a new project which requires over 40 puppets by mid-July and unfortunately they won’t build themselves (no matter how...
