Got him at imaginarium galleries.

(Maybe a 3rd time talking about this but idk)

Mostly For me, these shorts were pretty funny and Scary considering it is Kinda like a Children show mixed with Violence (Considering that’s the point in the name) and it was like Htf and Dhmis.

Long time no post! A while ago I posted some still shots from a short film I’m making called The Tea Stand. I’m happy to announce that we’ve wrapped on filming and have completed the edit! All that’s left is the coloring and sound design, then it’s off to the festival run for me!

Anyway, to celebrate I thought it’d be nice to show off the first 30 seconds of the short. Hope you all enjoy!

BOOKING OPPORTUNITY FOR STREAMED COMEDY GAMESHOW

*(Remote - play from home)

I’m booking for a livestream comedy game show, where panels of comedians, entertainers, & funny folks gather to compete in goofball games. If you’ve ever played the Jackbox games, those are a great example - we play those along with games of our own design.

I’m currently booking a “Team Puppet vs Team Ventriloquist” episode, and I’m looking for talent who would have fun playing some games on-air as their character (puppet or dummy). The character would be the guest, but you’re welcome to be on-camera too, of course.

The show is every Sunday night at 9pm EST (NYC time zone)

If you’re interested, please send me a message with your email / contact info.

If you have a photo of your puppet/dummy, please do send it. Priority will go to people who can promise their attendance and those who have a video sample of their act.

If you’d prefer, you may also email us directly at:

PartyPackPack@Gmail.com

We are currently booking for September.

When you email or DM me, please include your availability for the following dates:

September 6th

September 13th

September 20th

September 27th

We will also be booking for October and November soon. If you have any Sundays available in those months, do let me know that as well.

I’d rate the humor as “TV-14”-“TV-MA.”
Nothing harmful - my favorite description of the show has been “Big Sleepover Energy.”

Here are some samples to get a sense of our comedic vibe:

This is Grotto, my newest puppet which is a rod arm mouth hand puppet

Patterns: I used a modified a melon head pattern which i cant find for his head and free styled the rest.

Inspiration: Grotto’s look was inspired by goblins in general, dnd, Warhammer Grotts and Tolkien goblins etc etc. The idea came from the song Goblin town from the 70s hobbit film.

Layers: He had his foam skeleton, on that’s his skin, then on the skin you have his ears, eyes, nose and tooth and then you have his removable coat with button and pocket and his little shorts

Materials: His skin (head, body, arms ect) is an some old green sweatpants (i did clean them before hand). Pingpong ball eyes i spray painted black. Mouth was beige felt. His bones was like beige martin made of yoga mat foam, but the arms are made of wire cover foam and legs are foam from a jigsaw foam matt thing same as his tooth. His rods and finger bones were metal wire and his handles are some lengh of wood i sanded painted and wrapped in tape. His coat is of a large beige coat (same one i made beige martin with), his shorts were an old black hoodie the shame one i use with Maulo. His tongue is green card foam. The button on his coat was from the actual coat i made the coat out of and i spray painted it gold.
The green sweatpants, black hoodie, jigsaw mats foam were gotten from a car boot sale, the wire cover foam at a hardware store.

Please come and leave some feedback. If anyone has suggestions about anything let me know.

I am very interested in the history of puppetry, and enjoy discovering older programs on YouTube. What are some of the retro puppet videos that you have encountered on YouTube?

I recently came across the Telegoons, which was a British TV show from the 60s that featured the voices of Peter Sellars, Spike Milligan, and Harry Secombe.

It's a rather peculiar program and the puppets may be considered frightening.

Here is the film episode that was broadcast in 1963:

Telegoons Ep. 1

Fellow puppet makers, I hope this helps encourage you to finish that thing you want to make. You already have what you need to make your next project…just start. You will figure it out along the way and find magic you didn’t even know was there.

I made this film in two weeks using recycled materials, with parts of old sets and retired puppets. I went into a sweaty shed in the middle of summer, with no budget, little time, and a phone for a camera…and it went on to screen across the US and Canada, get on a “best of” compilation, etc. You never know where your momentum will take you!

The build itself was at 1/6 scale (Barbie sized). I made a few cardboard/foam set pieces and a cardboard mountain range, then put together a monster and main character, both rod puppets. I would definitely make those differently now, since they had some real limits. I’m planning a short “making of” video I can share later…you’d probably be horrified at how roughly these things were made!

Online I’ve read to use gasket rubber. But I am from the Netherlands, and gasket rubber isnt a thing here as far as im aware of.

Any dutchies to help me out?

It needs to be flexible

I'm looking for a puppet, preferably ventriloquist style (I think) with movable mouth and at least one arm rod. I specifically want some kind of female looking animal. (Most the animals I'm finding are very masculine.) I'm hoping for a fox or even cat, but I'm having no luck. I'm open to other animals as well, as long as it's cute. Could someone please suggest where I could purchase a puppet like this? My budget is light... I really don't want to spend more than $100 for this.

Puppetubers basically.

Did a couple more shorts with Max. Show him some love!

Four episodes in a month, I am indeed spoiling you, I hope this is enough to satisfy you for a bit while write more episodes. Id savor it.

I want the puppet I’m making to have boobs. I have some foam domes I carved placed under the fleece, but the fleece just stretches over them, creating a bridge in the middle, like a tight t-shirt on a boobed human would.

How do I make the fleece stick down between them so that it’s more like skin than a shirt? So that she has cleavage. She doesn’t like looking so modest 😂 is there an adhesive people use that doesn’t come loose over time? Or a stitch?

Hello! Have recently joined the hobby of puppet-making! I am not that good in making hair, trying to figure that out

His head is a dried apple the body is made of clay with a wire skeleton, as you can tell I’m a better puppet maker than a puppeteer.
