This is Swazzle’s demo reel. Like the reel for Puppet Heap that I posted yesterday, Swazzle does the montage thing I advise against. And this is another example of an exception to that rule, because this isn’t just a puppeteer demo reel, it’s promoting their company and all of the services they provide. There are [...]
There been a lot of chat here and elsewhere about Team Smithereen since it was shot in 2008. It’s now available to U.S. cable audiences Saturday mornings on Disney XD.
Swazzle is looking for puppeteers in Southern California. Are you a puppeteer in California who’s looking for a gig? Swazzle (see previous posts) are currently looking for puppeteers to perform live puppet shows at libraries in Southern California this summer. Auditions are being held April 30th at Swazzle’s studio in Glendale, California. To schedule an [...]
Swazzle’s new workshop in California is filled with – what else? – cool-looking puppets. Is it just me, or does it seem like Swazzle is always busy? They’ve just finished updating their puppetry reel on YouTube on the heels of moving in to a new spiffy-looking, puppet-filled workshop space last year.
Everybody’s favourite puppet Snowman is back on the web for the holidays. Last year Swazzle created an adorable holiday podcast called Frosty’s 12 Days of Christmas that featured two puppet characters – Frosty the Snowman and his pal Steve the Snowball – counting down to Christmas with the help of some special holiday guest stars.

Bugsy Brown Private Fly is a touring puppet show that is now the basis for a forthcoming web comic. I’ve written a lot in the past here about the connections between puppetry, comics and animation (see last week’s post about Gloomy Roomies for just one recent example). There’s something about the highly visual nature of [...]
Tiger and Mousedeer are back with a new episode of The Swazzle Workshop. The Swazzle Workshop – Swazzle’s great puppet building podcast for kids of all ages – is back with a brand new episode. This time out Mayor Mole stops by to show Tiger and Mousedeer how to make a Garbage Monster Puppet.
The “Pea Gees” are the stars of a new musical ecard from PuppetGreetings.com. PuppetGreetings.com has a new video ecard they describe as a disco tribute to the Gibb Brothers and singing vegetables…Barely Alive with the Pea Gees. I could make about a zillion more pea puns here, but instead I will just tell you that [...]
Rex and Boots are two of the stars of Swazzle’s “Get A Clue” summer reading tour in California. Swazzle is touring California libraries this summer with three puppet shows built around the state’s library summer reading program theme, “Get a Clue”. Turns out that’s also the tagline of this summer’s new Nancy Drew movie and [...]
An early prototype of Jeff Pidgeon’s upcoming vinyl beaver figure produced by Gentle Giant (click on the image for an uncropped, full-size pic). I love the work of Jeff Pidgeon. He’s an alumni of the CalArts animation program and works in a variety of styles, but they all have the same great zany, cartoony edge [...]
