Making Tested's Blockhead Puppets!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2014
- Jamie, Adam, Will, and Norm get transformed into adorable plush puppets! Stage prop fabricator and fan of the site Sean Harrington made these awesome blockhead puppets for us, utilizing some cool modern technology to streamline the design and build process. Sean walks us through how the puppets were 3D modeled and then prototyped with a laser cutter, allowing him to iterate on the design to change the look and puppeteering comfort of these flapping blockheads. We're smitten!
Thanks so much to Sean Harrington of 1Stage Productions for designing and making our puppets! Check out his work at www.1stage.com

Hahaha! You guys are great. Yes, I said "Correct" a few too many times... a little nervous... no Vivance, coke, or other pharmaceuticals. I was up a bit late the night before working (unsuccessfully) to finish the Jamie puppet. Thanks for all the comments, good and bad! All feedback is a gift!
BTW, here are some additional pictures of the process... www.pinterest.com/1stage/testedcom-blockhead-puppets/
Sean Harrington is the measurement in centimeters
You don't seem too nervous, and the puppets are very nice! I wonder who drew the original designs, I always envy people who can whip up so much resemblance with so few lines. (or is it just my brain that wants to match blockheads to someone familiar?)
Norm you are really good making interviews! You are always look interested in the way you listen the interviewed and when you ask your questions! Keep it up! ^^

Norm is looking more and more comfortable in front of the camera. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing SO many fun vids!
Love this guys, doing fun stuff with a fan, And Sean is interesting and well-spoken
Wonderful! And praise be to Mr. Harrington for giving us a condensed Master Class in materials and nomenclature. Quite good to share.
When will be the Blockhead Tested Puppet Show?
Adam needs his hat. or maybe a spacesuit?
Or a face-hugger...
This is so awesome. I've always been fascinated with puppets and it's cool to see how to make them. Thank you for sharing your ability.
I demand that all future Tested videos be hosted by puppet Will and puppet Norm!
so basicly adam can come to next comicon as blockheadAdam? (If you size it up muppetstyle.)
Would be a new contender for "hottest suit ever", i approve.
Original, no doubt.
Awesome. The Cookinator needs to be a puppet... hopefully we do an episode soon. Thanks for inspiration
It would be funny to see you guys using the puppets during your next podcast.
I would wet myself if these showed up in the next "Still Untitled" podcast.
This guy sounds a lot like MrSark. Nice work on the blockheads!
That is adorable! awwww! ^_^
OK, now we need a 24 hour podcast where everyone is puppeteering a puppet of themselves THE WHOLE TIME.
Can you do a series on the making of these puppets
Nice stuff!
That's pretty cool.
Awesome! Puppets! Happy! Thank you Norm!!!!
Whoa this is really cool!! Now you guys need to do a video with the four puppets performing.. Maybe they can do a product review... Or help at least!! ;))
Maybe it's just the puppet theme in my mind whilst watching this, but i cant help but recognise a kermit the frog accent when Sean pronounces some words :P And that's not a bad thing!
Comes from YEARS doing Kermit, Nicky (Avenue Q), and Ernie imitations...
Cool Beans!
COOL!!!
I'm interested in puppet design, so thanks for the great video!
Awesome!
they need to be sold right now!
Hey Norm, these puppets are awesome! and sorry to go off subject but where is the new arcade cabinet build video?? I can't wait to see the new one episode!
nice to see someone else who uses a laser to build out his puppets
lol I was like Will! What happ... Oh that's not Will. Hahaha
Hahaha! Yeah, except for the beard and glasses, he and I do share a lovely, pear-shaped symmetry...
These are very cool btw, great job! Thanks for the response! Haha didn't expect that!
The link in the description brings me to a dance studio website? 0_o
It's the right site, he said at the beginning he mainly builds for stage shows like Ave Q and Little Shop of Horrors. If you visit the contact page Sean is found there.
Awesome.
You guys should sell these!
those are sweet
i would pay for one of those :D
I wouldn't pay for someone else's but I would pay for my own head
I want some of those!
you could say Adams behavior is explosive
XD
Good idea
First! Awesome puppets.
Cool :O
Okay. Now you guys have no excuse. You have to do one show with all of you as puppets.
Nice!
Where's that t-shirt Norms wearing from?
Please tell me you guys are going to make a show with these guys!
Adam, Norm and Will need tall-boy Diet Coke cans!!
I know this videos old but I have two of those whatnot puppets and they're not so great. They're hard to move the mouth without getting fatigue fast. I know eyre a hundred bucks but they could also look better.
where can i get the files?! i have searched all over tested site and havent found them :(
Maybe we'll turn the build process into a series of articles...
Sean Harrington that would be great
SHUDDUP AND TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY!!!
wow
Can someone please tell me where norms shirt is from?
I love puppets

The web link leads to a dance prep studio. Is this a mistake or the proper website to see Sean's work?
Try rental.1stage.com instead.

Hey guys, does anyone know of any good puppeteering site or videos?
Ciaran Spillane www.puppetsandstuff.com, groups.google.com/d/forum/puppet-users
I don't think Beaker is a trigger-mouth puppet.
Fix your focal length mr. Blurry camera man

+Mekhanic1 ..fullframe dslr + warping = not so easy to stay always sharp ;) ...
Can we get custom puppets for ourselves by collaborating on photos/design?
t6oberts Sure, why not?
The Tested crew are Minecraft Ghasts!
These remind me of the Computer from DHMIS

What does premium membership get me on tested?
Premium Membership gets you ad-free viewing, special deals on limited edition site merchandise, VIP invites to Tested events, Premium-only videos, but mostly it helps support the enhanced content they've started providing recently, like the great Custom Video Arcade Cabinet series, currently in progress. For me, it's an investment in having something GREAT to listen to (2 podcasts a week) on my drive to and from work, and they talk about the things that interest me most. Is it going to pay for itself, like Amazon Prime, not exactly, but the work these folks and their viewers do inspires me to create stuff like these puppets.
