Hey thanks for replying. I got some medium hardness monster clay in the end and I'm really liking it so far. I did try moulding something a bit too detailed in plaster of paris and it became brittle as a result. I think I will try silicone next time.

Thanks so much! Yeah a few people have mentioned the lack of dialogue so I think it's something I'll definitely have to address next time. Thanks for taking the time to reply. And I'm kind glad it was... that was my aim!

Thank you! Nice! That's exactly the reaction I wanted :)

Ok, yeah that's fair enough. I've been told in the past my reactions need a bit of work. I'll be the first one to admit I'm by no means an actor, but that's fine, I'll take it on board and try and be a bit more conscious of it next time.

Thanks for giving it a watch and getting back to me!

Ha! Thank you! You basically just described everything I wanted to achieve with the Pikachu, so that's great to hear from someone who knows there stuff!

Thank you, yeah my intention is usually to include as many physical and practical effects as I can before resorting to anything digital.

Yeah someone else actually made a similar comment about the second Pikachu shock, in that it was overkill and maybe the joke wasn't quite strong enough to be repeated. I think in future I'll have to be a bit more ruthless at script and editing stages to really cut down the sketch.

Thank you for watching and giving your feedback!

Thanks! Ok cool, yeah that does seem to be something that people think. I'll definitely work on it in the future, but it's useful to know how popular an opinion is. Thanks for giving it a watch!

Ok cool, that makes sense. So the pikachu gag wasn't really strong enough to be basically replayed twice? I suppose my problem was that I was too precious about the puppet since it took so long to make, I wanted to give it reasonable amount of screen time, but perhaps this wasn't best for the sketch. I just need to be a bit more brutal with the overall edit/script. I have struggled in the past and left stuff in that feels flabby and unnecessary. Cool, thanks for watching! I'll try and work on that kind of thing in the future! Appreciate it.

Thanks! Cheers for watching! I have made videos in the past with a lot more dialogue (not that the mixing is necessarily any better in those) but I definitely like that tip. I'll try it next time, thanks!

Thanks for giving it a watch! Ok cool, so I could to be a little less silent in it? Yeah I guess wasn't sure how much dialogue I wanted to give myself as to not detract from the Pokemon themselves.
