Check it: a rap version of Wordsworth’s I wandered lonely as a cloud, with MC Nuts, aka Sam, the Lake District Red squirrel mascot for Ullswater Steamers. It’s to celebrate the bicentenary of the poem’s publication.

You might think I’m on a real anti-Howard bender today, especially since I’ve also just decided its time to stop posting to my Vigil blog, but I swear this video was found quite accidentally while I was trying out the new Alpha search engine (very cool). It’s such a good caricature, both in looks and […]
Take a look at this really silly advertisement for Noble Rise breads. I mean, why would you bother, when he is so obviously satisfied with a puppet? ;-p
(The clip only worked in IE for me)
Look what I found…

Two video clips at YouTube of that cool puppet in Berlin that I blogged about in October!
Puppet Run
Titere Andante
Still no clue as to who the performer group is.
Puppet Up! - Uncensored is coming to Australia late in the summer, first to the Big Laugh Comedy Festival in Sydney in March, and then the Melbourne Comedy Festival in April. I’ve just been watching the video clip and it looks like it could be a lot of fun. The Age recently had a short […]

I also received a note about Duck walks into a Bar, a ‘bar-hopping, Muppet-style character who likes to troll bars in search of babes, booze and free drinks’, created by Kevin Susman & James Murray. It’s not particularly my taste, but the puppetry, character and video production are slick, so take a look.

Making these fun hats was another of my Floriade projects. I enjoyed making them and was really happy with how they turned out. They were made for the performance group The Bunch of Posers, who in this guise are called Acappellacino.
To make them I started out by making the cup shape upside down, with a […]
This is a still from a video of a giant marionette in Reykjavik, Iceland. It’s being operated by three helicopters! There are some other videos here. I can’t find any other information about it, which is strange, but people seem to think it was being filmed as a viral ad for jeans. It makes […]

It’s funny how these things happen. Just the other day I was thinking about Alexander Calder’s Circus, the film of which I saw a few years ago at the first national puppetry summit, and wondering if it might be on the net, and then yesterday Boing Boing linked to clips […]
