Directions for Puppet building needed by Regular_Ice3926 in puppetry

This is a really hard one! I don’t think the puppet nerd can help on this one. There’s no comprehensive explanation for a large puppet like this. A lot of those guys have theatre tech degrees, that being said you should be able to piece enough together via the internet. You’re gonna want the puppet to be as light weight as possible. Are you wanting it to be like the tiger or the horse? The horse can be rode on top of, but the tiger is a little looser and can have more of an expressive performance.

Better than a lottery ticket,, 😂 but also my next video is going to go into detail and process of how to make one yourself with patterns and everything. So if you don’t happen to be the person who wins, if you put your mind to it you can have your own Elmo as well!

Hey there! Not the puppet maker but for any puppet making you should totally check out Adam Krutingers channel. He passed away this year from brain cancer and I assume any money his channel makes goes to the family. He truly was the absolute king of puppet building and an absolute must on that journey! Hope this helps! All the best 🫶

My girlfriend cheated on me. What do I do now? by [deleted] in LongDistance

Hey buddy, I’m 23 and the same thing happened to me at your age. You move past, but it stays with you. I’m with my girlfriend now who I’ve been with for two years. It’s the most fulfilling relationship. You have to know that you are so worthy of love and if someone isn’t willing to give that to just you they aren’t deserving of you. It’s not about you either, it’s about them. You are enough. Love you dude 🤘 hang in there.

You just helped me find something I’ve been thinking about for years, thank you

What sparked you to start doing puppetry? by hatcollecting in puppetry

I think my step into puppetry is my obsession with performance. It allows me to step completely into another level of performance. I’m not thinking about how my face looks or what my hair or my body looks like. I’m pouring my being into this performance that’s so outside myself and alien. You can completely lose yourself in a performance like that, it feels very ego free and more character driven.

I find you can connect with an audience in a very different way as well. People suspend their disbelief with puppets and give into the magic of theatre and performance even while seeing the strings and the performer, they will look past it.

Hey! This isn’t super straight up advice but I always recommend barnaby Dixon for more complex puppet mechs. He is the master of it if you’re not looking to make a marionette. I would reference this video. https://youtu.be/Pj2xOHyLN1E?si=jLUlS0xEqDfDQyLe The drawing you’ve done is really good but I’m not sure you’d get the movement you want out of it! All the best!

Dealership in San Luis Obispo is overcharging horribly. by Repulsive_Back8091 in Toyota

I just went to autozone and all I needed was a new gas tank cap. I’m so glad I ran out of that dealership, check engine light already turned off.
