My answer to a question: Do puppets have souls?
Posted on May 18, 2012 at 10:24am 4 Comments 4 Likes
The puppeteer supplies "soul" and "heart" to a puppet with his charactarization & performance. It is the very quality I look for in good puppetry.
The puppet is indeed a prop or even more specific - a tool. It is created with a certain look & abitlity to achieve movement. Those two qualities, by themselves, don't mean much. A beautifully made puppet can still be manipulated with simple mechanical moves & complete a performance. Such a performance does little to capture or…

For the last 5 months of 2011 I was busy performing a marionette of China Girl for the new Disney film of "OZ; The Great & Powerful" that is due in USA theaters March 2013.
With the help of special effects studio, K.N.B. Effects Group, I built 2 marionettes of the character. They were identical except for variations in stringing that allowed them to do different specialized movements. As I have found in several instances of marionettes made from the same patterns, they each had…

Great to see you on the Hub. We saw your work a few years ago at a national festival and you gave us some good advice about tuning marionettes. Thanks again for that and I hope you enjoy puppethub.

Vixie said… - I actually rented Being John Malkovich just to see the marionette work in it. Its work like that which shows why I find marionettes to be such a fascinating form of puppetry. Sadly, I have very little experience working with them, the bulk of what I have done involves hand and rod puppets, but I am starting to feel inspired to branch out, and being here on the Hub is inspiring me. I do hope you will post more pics and video, as well as offer pointers to those of us looking to branch into this great area of puppetry.

- I tend to be very hands on, so I figure the best way to learn is by doing. I do watch puppets whenever I can, and soak up knowledge, but I really need to have something in hand. My point here is I want to get a marionette or two made, and am not really sure where to go, or even what a reasonable cost is. From that starting point, I want to work with it and get advice on ho to improve the manipulation. I have made a marionette with the help of a friend, but I can't count on that as a source for building. I'm hoping once I have something in hand, I can work and learn more about the manipulation.

Good to see you here on the Hub!
I just found an old VHS promo tape of yours when I was cleaning up my puppet studio (barn). Hope you are doing well and keeping busy.
Hope to see you soon.
Take care my friend!

- Phillip, that demo reel looks great, Don't feel bad, my reel needs an update, it is over 10 years old, but if It can still sell shows, what the heck? The puppets look the same but I sure don't :oP
Your reel shows off your awesome puppetry skills! I just love Sir Cedric and Mary Annette. I was trying to remember the song that Mary performs. What is the name of it?
I hope one day soon you will come to Detroit to perform or just hang out. You are always welcome! it sure would be great to see you again.

- Hello Phil;
We were at the 2005 or 2006 Festival in St.Paul. It was the first time they held it at the college. It was my husband and I first festival so we were kind of out of most of the social loops. Though we had a great time we did find it to be a bit clicky.
You and I talked at the party, at the end of the festival and again thanks for the advice. Though we have worked with Marionettes for almost 20 years there always more to learn. I wish we could make it this year but we are already booked and also building a new show. If you are performing there hope you have a good show. Thanks.
