Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Making a Puppet!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 янв 2016
- Adam Savage is a HUGE fan of puppets. And so a very special One Day Build was conceived when Rick Lyon, creator of the puppets for the Tony award-winning musical Avenue Q, invited Adam to stop by his Newark workshop to design and build his very own puppet. Everyone, please meet Finn!

I like how the guys in the workshop almost instinctively talk with their creations, like second nature. Fun video.
It's how they stay sane.
They probably talk to their hands all the time without realizing it
I think i would if i messed around with puppets all day
500th like
They also talk of the puppets as is they are living things or people. I find that quite interesting.
I love how, every time they get a puppet, they start conversing through the puppet.
When you wear a puppet it just feels right to start talking through it
@@Turret09 I saw this response as a notification. Without context, it's really jarring. Within context, I totally agree
THE PUPPETS ARE ALIVE THE PUPPETS ARE ALIVE THE PUPPETS ARE ALIVE THE
Symbiotic relationship in a nutshell.
It’s a little confusing because you don’t know who is talking and when, like the guy on Victorius that talks through a puppet.
33:38 Those eyes... that mustache... Adam, don"t you see it? You've made Jamie Hyneman.
The way Rick guides Adam through the design process so efficiently, yet making sure Adam makes every decision, is so masterful. What an amazing creator.
bald guy: i want to work on the skull
puppet master: nah, work on the belly
bald guy: ok
(a few minutes later)
bald guy: so I have the skull right here
Fernando SV prolly did the skull later. There's a lot of work we don't see in the edited version.
TAKE THAT REALLY CREEPY GUY!!!!
well yes is edited, but it's funny I have the same thought
puppet master: and here's the belly
Haven’t you heard, that bald people trade hair for power?
I'm completely surprised at how easily my own brain is tricked into seeing the puppet as an actual creature, even when it is only partially complete and so obviously being controlled by somebody.
That’s the magic of Jim Henson style of puppetry.
I genuinely had a moment in my adult brain where I thought 'they're gonna have to put a microphone onto that puppet so we can hear it talk'...
Apparently, that would happen to Jim Henson and Rowlf, I think.
And that when you know it's a damn good puppet
Good
@@megelizabeth9492 " i am a bath mat, you gotta talk to the guy down there." Is something rolf said when jim couldn't hear what his coworkers were saying to him because they were talking to the actual puppet. I've heard that someone put the mike on kermit and they were wondering why the audio was muffled 😀
For big bird maybe
Couldn't help but childishly giggle at Katie's "Oh stop" line at 12:10. Seriously, it would be a dream to walk into a studio, sketch a puppet and have it made exactly as I wanted it to be.
I knowww! it would be like build a bear only even more in depth!
"I'm an advocate of whatever works" truly he's a master...
some one get this shop there own show i would watch the hell out of it
Reef Breland way better than anything they have on the history channel, and better than done things in the science channel. at least give it a yt channel
Reef Breland That would be awesome!
They work for a shoe avenue Q. It's a rated R Broadway show. It's hilarious
@@nachochips8090 gosh me too! I wouls tune in literally every time its on
do they have no avenue q puppets
Watching grown people having fun like this really gives me hope for the future and gives me a drive to just live longer.
I love how they have been around puppets so long they randomly start puppetering when demonstrating random mechanisms
"Do you want fur, or fleece texture?"
"Yes."
PKProductions Yeah that guy has no idea what he's doing, haha. X'D
I was looking for this comment before I said it XD
My 5 year old sister dose that all the time
YeS
I love the fur
8:02 that muppet is suffocating in the background someone help
Kylethebat lol
Kylethebat he's dead.......... Now who's gonna hide the bodey
Kylethebat haahahahaha
I'm dead lmao
Ex_Machina so is the puppet
9:32 “I have a chewbacca costume” weird flex but okay.
Unique Bulll lol
It's crazy to see how the puppet immediately comes alive as soon as they move its mouth
Seeing those puppets move is so strangely organic and human. You know it's just a bunch of glued foam, fake fur and felt, but the movements and the design make them seem like actual living beings. This is why Yoda from the original Star Wars trilogy is a billion times more relatable and organic than the CGI Yoda from the prequels. And actors interacting with puppets can actually react to something in front of them, which is being driven by another human, while the puppet is basically just a representation of another actor.
You can't interact with a CGI character because there's nothing there. The only time I really saw a movie perfect that synthesis was in LotR, where Andy Serkis actually played Gollum in a motion capturing suit and spoke the lines. All they did was replace him with Gollum, but the actor's interaction with the CGI Gollum was exactly like it would be with a real character.
Corristo89 you are so wrong my friend, about the prequel today thing
It's crazy how nature do that.
I think nostalgia is clouding your judgement.
CGI is a powerful tool that can create amazing things in the right contexts, but the technology is not at a point where actors and actresses can treat CGI elements and placeholders as real characters, like puppets. Even though Thanos in _Avengers: Infinity War_ and _Avengers:Endgame_ was really impressive and his interactions in each scene feel so lifelike, his CGI was an exception to the norm. The way Mark Hamill would have interacted with a stand-in prop for a CGI Yoda would probably have felt less tangible compared to how he interacted with a physical Yoda puppet. Plus, we have the example of Baby Yoda - I doubt a CGI stand-in would have been able to capture people the way a cute, small, and organically moving puppet did.
It's amazing how Rick combs his hair that way to give himself that sympathic movement.
Adam is SOOO good at suggesting things in a non-confrontational way. When he suggests trimming the finger fur, it's a class in diplomacy.
Love how they all get into position like it's an instinct, then to life the puppet comes ,amazing.
A bunch of old dudes making a puppet for half an hour. It's more entertaining than it sounds.
DERPFACELARY oh it takes more than an 30 mins
Yeah but we see about half an hour.
They're not that old.
@@toddsquad650 yes they are
You must be about 10 years old then!
He passed up a perfectly good opportunity to make a Jamie Walrus.
32:01
I can’t be the only with Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared vibes by looking at that puppet.
Yeah
Jonathan Fei me too
It's Red guy
Thats what I thought
Same
I really like this puppet! Both the Fraggles and the Muppets were such a big part of me growing up.
Very interesting to see Adam taken out of his element to some degree. These are the best videos!
+Dustin Penner Yeah, its totally right up his alley but also you can tell he was learning so much. I guess no matter who you are you can always learn something new about your craft.
Totally agree. Adam, who is normally so confident in everything he does, looked totally lost a majority of the time.
That's not a bad thing on Adam, but actually shows how those guys are absolute masters of there craft. It's just a bonus that they also contribute to making millions of kids (both young and old), so happy when these puppets get to perform for them.
Yes! I have no doubt he could have confidently built his own puppet, but you could see him take a step back from the leadership role he typically takes with Norm in his shop.
+Dustin Penner and also how HUMBLE this guy is in a field not his own. You can see how he has learnt so much with such a great attitude
+Dustin Penner I agree. Adam looked lost some of the time.
12:26 She's quick, and nimble when she needs to be
She can float through the air and climb up trees
Playing with puppets is the feeling of being young while still being old.
Who else thinks that Rick is amazing and would watch if he had a channel. Adam, are you going to do more with him?
oh yes I really do hope so! i want to see more!!!!
I find he's arrogant
rob biggs Yeah he seemed controlling
This is probably the only guy I've seen that is able to pull off a legitimate comb-over. It's legendary.
When he asked Adam what kind of puppet he wanted I thought Adam would say "a walrus like puppet with a beret" so he has his very own Jamie puppet. :)
Hahaha. Oh my! I can imagine it, and I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if that had been the case. I believe Adam would not be able to put that puppet down haha, he would just have too much fun with it, and us too. Oh no!! Jamie is coming!! Hide it, hide the puppet!!
Hilarious.
Oh my god that would be hilarious
Terkzorr I wish he got that! And give it a huge mustache!
Terkzorr but adam doesnt really like jamie...
This was the best 36 mins I have spent on YT in very long while..... they are INDEED Master craftsmen of the Puppet Making Art form..... I spent many a happy day escaping into the world of Muppets, I love how Adam's spirit puppets are Animal and Gonzo, Mine is Animal and Oscar the Grouch, Maybe that is where I get my Sarcasm from..... lol..... No one will ever be able to replace Kermit tho
Love this!! I really love that they use "what's on hand" not some super crazy power-tooled build shop. Gives us DIY crafters hope that we can pull off something magical!
Now he needs to make a puppet version of Buster. I feel like he could have a lot of fun messing around with the different colors and textures the dummy had towards the end of the show.
wow making a puppet is a lot more work then I ever imagined ! awesome job !
I have a new found appreciation of puppets
You'll often find there's an art to everything
I love how the people in the workshop sort of just jump into helping the puppets move without any prompting. Like they automatically bring parts of the puppets to life. It's so interesting to watch both the bts of puppet movements and having the focus on the puppets at the same time. Truly wonderful to watch. Thanks tested!
When I saw the thumbnail, rather than thinking "It's Elmo," I thought, "It's the red guy from DHMIS!"
Exept this puppet could rip Roys arm out and eat the rest.
He has the greatest comb-over in history!
Its kinda crazy to see Adam out of his element, he didn't look awkward but he was like "uh i have no clue." the entire time. Refreshing to see hes not god at everything he does.
As an Avenue Q fan, this is amazing!!!
RIGHT?! Love this! And love that show! My husband took me a long time ago
Omg the way they start to recognize the monster as an individual makes me so happy ❤. I was absolutely sold by the end and in love 🥰
It never ceases to amaze me how easy these guys make this look... I'd love to spend a full day with these people, even just to observe
Keep our
Love it!!!

This was surprisingly one of your most satisfying videos. I absolutely loved the build, now wish I had my own.
An amazing end result. This guy is so talented. It's good that his work with Jim Henson is carrying over to his own projects
Some day I will make puppets like that. Until then, I buy them lol.
Right lmbo
I hope your young and ambitious cause if your past 35 than your crazy lol.
@@theresamerithew8282 what the heck is a lmbo lol
@@SammySesame laughing my butt off
one can just tell that these guys really love puppets, from how they gently stroke their heads, looking at unfinished body parts as if it's a newborn. so heartwarming.
Wow he has the biggest comb over I ever seen.. just wow!!
don't be rude. imagine you made a mistake and people made unpleasant comments about your appearance like that
The lead guy talking sounds like Jeff Goldblum.
I love it.
Two things I love about puppetry is that
1) puppeteers as soon as they put their hand in a puppet start doing the lip flaps in sinc with what they are saying without even thinking about it.
2) the moment the puppet starts "acting" you stop seeing it as a puppet but as a fuzzy floating person.
That’s the Henson school of Puppetry in a nutshell.
3:33 oh hey it's Oobi! That was a show on Noggin that had its main character essentially looking identical to this, and a few other similarly constructed characters. The crew on Oobi had worked for Sesame Workshop before, and the principal puppeteers on the show were offered their roles because they had prior experience on Sesame Street and other Jim Henson productions.
DoctorWhoBAMF Oobi is a sock puppet. Can't get more down to Earth than that.
MLGoose Games
I remember that show
OOBIIIIIIIIII
I loved oobi!!!!
It looks really funny whenever Adam is sitting at/next to the table with Trekkie and Nicky on it because it just looks like Nicky is staring at him in awe like "holy crap it's Adam Savage"
Oh my gosh! As soon as he put on those simple eyes I had so much strong nostalgia. I literally couldn't stop myself from immediately saying "Oobi" out loud. I didn't even remember that character, not to mention his name, until that second.
Strangely the puppet resembles Adam! Great work guys
I don't know how I see it, but I see it.
I saw that too
Seriously, I could watch Adam make pretty much anything. Actually, I could probably just sit and listen to him talk about anything for ages. He's the perfect combination of charisma, creativity, and a whole heap of nerd. I find most puppets creepy as shit, but I damn well watched the whole thing.
The joy and happiness these puppets spread worldwide are unmeasurable.
I love this video. I've watched it 3 times now. There's something incredibly comforting about it. What a lovely bunch of people.
It's glorious... although I must say I'm surprised Adam didn't go for a Muppetized version of The Hyneman (it would have been so perfect).
+Dork Dad True, true...
+Dork Dad
With a prehensile moustache ! That would have been glorious !
What a glorious missed opportunity.
+Dork Dad I can totally see Adam building a Jamie puppet himself and then taking it on tour with him next year.
tpeluso
I wonder how long it would take people who notice it wasn't the real Hyneman ?
OK there's no way this gets seen but... 29:15. If you made them longer intentionally, bore a hole into the centre of the foam and insert a metal rod with a couple of finger slings on the end that protrude back into the inside of the skull... you could have rigged a wire catch that tilts each eye a certain amount in a certain direction and had a cool alien-like movement (in/out, both in/both out, one in/one out etc) from the eye stalks.
Elmo has a mechanism that gives that effect when scaled up! His eyes are on dowels you can move up and down. The current puppeteer uses that feature alot
Wait lmao they mention that in the video sorry!
Certainly possible, but probably left out due to time. Rick said this puppet was built in eight hours, whereas his Avenue Q puppets take 120 man-hours to build each.
This is crazy!!!
It’s so awesome to see the Avenue q puppets up close like this
now that was the best . Adam said it at the end they work wonders. and the team work is some of the best i have seen in a long time.
I've always been fascinated by puppeteering. It's such a skill to imbue an inanimate object with such living characteristics. There's something really primally magic about it, like you're literally conjuring life.
I'm super jealous, that came out awesome! I want to make a puppet now! Adam is such a fun guy, and these guys seemed cool, and made entertainment out of making a puppet lol
it's so much fun to see people build something together, especially if they are on that threshold of people doing something they do all the time (pockets for the little hands, skull caps, painting eyes) mixed with the pure creativity of combining the things they know how to make into a new thing.
What fun little monsters and beasts these puppets are. I kinda wanna make one now (but it would probably end in tears, hot glue and fuzz)
i LOVE when he calls the other two guys over to thank them but they immediately go into puppet mode and both grab his legs/an arm and start moving it around haha. wonderful!!
That puppet boss is really good at what he does I must say
now that's a comb over
william macdonald
MR. POOPYBUTTHOLE!!!
Woooooweeee
I found it distracting. He's not fooling anybody.
He and Donald Trump just happen to go to the same hairdresser's establishment in New York. Salon Salon. chuckle.
Who does he think he's fooling with that comb-over? The guy is brilliant and great at what he does so lose your hair with dignity and pride. Or, get plugs.
Absolutely one of the best episodes. My kids sat and watched it through about 4 times.
Thanks Adam for the intro of Mr. Lyon, makes my day that Mr Henson's world lives on in more than one place. Thank-you all !
did you come up with a name for him yet.............for reasons unknown I want to call him Wilfred
+jabman025 His name is Finn! Written in the info box above buddy.
it's weird seeing you comment on videos that aren't gunpla
His name is Finn. It's official.
Alex Tol, van
I'm not norwegian sir.
+jabman025 I oddly wanna name him murphy
Props to Rick Lyon, he's an amazing puppeteer, and an interesting individual overall.
The time I spent as a puppeteer and maker was very much like this. The video brought back some fun memories.
Amazing to see these guys at work. The passion just poured out of the screen. Amazing.
Mr. Comb Over must live in absolutely fear of a side wind :-)
What's your favourite idea? Mine is being creative.
My favorite color is green! Green is not a creative color.
'' HOOooo.. :-( ''
Looks like somebody's having a bad dream a bad dream
but don't eat food from a stranger's plate
you can have a dream about drowning in oil
by the way whos your fav dhmis charecter mine is yellow guy
It’s great to have the experience of making a puppet and really bring them to life! Thanks for sharing!
Re-watching this as I am finalizing all the mouth parts for my first Muppet style articulated Sharecter - Love this studio; love their experience/talent! Thanks forever!
One of the more enjoyable 30 mins I've spent at the computer in a while. Great idea, thank you Adam
one day builds remind me why I love tested.
I don’t think I stop smiling this entire video that looked like such a good time and it turned out amazing!
The moving Eyebrows are next level. Wish I seen this video a year ago. Great stuff.
Such talent patience and humility displayed by all those involved - it looked like a very long day too. Brilliant to watch.
Rick said ''go for the gusto' Gusto - might not be a bad name choice
That's exactly what I thought when he said it.
+::: R/C Desperado ::: Kind of a play on Gonzo, too.
It’s fun to see how excited about puppets that one guy is, glad he enjoys it that much
This is exactly why we love puppets. This demonstration was amazing! We need this on our show! We are kids on a budget but we can dream!
Making and owning your own puppet is awesome.If you have the patience they're really things anyone can make at home with a few tutorials
truemetalsonic I just need to make this my project, my daughter (and me, I'm not fooling anyone) would love it!
the puppet looked kinda like an evil elmo
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!!
Katie Harrison it looks like red guy from dhmis
Sadow675 AJ it's not THAT weird once you look into the meaning of the videos :)
It does remind me of that red puppet from DHMIS 😂
katie h more like elmo's inane avenue Q cousin
This was so wonderful! The puppet building process is so extensive!!! Wonderful look behind the scenes!✨✨✨
The best tested video yet! Amazing to see these masters in action... I loved every moment of this video.
Skipped the lips, and went with bottom teeth instead of top teeth. Crazy how different things end up as the creature shows itself
Im always fond of puppets for some reason, Ive always wanted a puppet of myself.
I want to thank you and the guys for doing this video. I have always had a fantasy of having my own puppet. I think i got it from the blue pirate furry puppet my parents bought me at Disney in the 70s. I didnt realize that pro puppets were so detailed and fun to build.
I'm so glad I found this. I'm making my own massive puppet project soon and seeing all these things is so so so useful to me. Thanks, Adam and Rick!
That is so cool. I realy admit the work of Rick Lyon (+ team) and Adam Savage. You can see that they enjoy what they are doin.
Quite an enjoyable build. I must commend the camera crew... it was like I was there participating with you.
I would have never thought that Adam was a huge fan of puppets. This video is JUST INCREDIBLE. I've never been interested in puppets myself, but this seriously makes me want to make one.
Still one of my favorite Tested videos. I've watched this many times. Some day I'll make my own puppet and use this as reference.
3:34 does anyone remember Oobi?
Superstar Candy YES
Superstar Candy F*K YEAH
YAAAAAAAS
I haven't heard that name in years...
That was the first thing that came to my mind
I think this goes in the top 5 for Tested videos. Great work.
Oh, this was a dream come true! I always wanted a peek into the process of how a puppet is born. This was amazing!!
I love just the absolute love and passion they have for their craft
