I really want to become a professional puppeteer and I've known it my whole life. My wife made me a puppet a while back and I just recently used it to play and interact with my daughter and I got this incredibly warm and fuzzy feeling seeing her interact with the puppet and laugh. I really feel like this is my calling in life, honestly.
I'm diving into the deep end and decided to build 2 puppets and to perform a puppet show for my microbiology class project. I figured it be a change of pace from all of the projects done before. Your videos are a major help. Wish me luck 😶
@@PuppetNerd - That little Arlo puppet reminds me of the "Gutsick Gibbon" channel. Ericka, the GG, does her own animation and her main character is Gutsick Gibbon, a lean blue Gibbon that she uses as an avatar at times. Arlo looks very much like Ericka's cartoon Gibbon. ------------------------ She is a paleoprimatology PhD candidate who does videos debunking those who try to disprove evolution and also teaches about various early Hominins and other pre-Sapien topics. She is whip smart and has a great sense of humor. ------------------------ Puppets of our early hominin ancestors would be REALLY COOL!
For real, Adam!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I decided that a thing I want to do in 2020 is learn and practice puppetry, your video could not be more timely! ❤
I just filmed a whole series of puppet videos for my Bounce House business . After watching this , I did a lot wrong . But I’m releasing them anyway . I think they are hilarious. I’m going to really learn this craft . I had a great time doing puppets without knowing what i was doing .
I’m loving this series so far Adam! I just grabbed a puppet I had and started lip syncing to the video and what you said. I really started to understand how many syllables I should be hitting when a character talks. Thank you man! I can’t wait for your future uploads on the channel you have great content. I definitely will send a video to be featured!
Excellent! One of the things I did for myself years ago was create a practice puppet with very small eye pupils. It forced me to be more precise when looking into a camera or addressing another puppet. That practice helped me to perfect exactly where my other puppets were looking.
I’ve never once in my life thought about being a puppeteer, even for fun. But I heard the rainbow connection for the first time in years and it had me so choked up. And fell down the rabbit hole of the history of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Richard Hunt and the rest of the performers and strangely feel so happy to revisit puppets and the Muppets as a whole. And I’m not gonna lie, I tried to hold my arm up and mouth the words with my hand. My arm was so sore for a few minutes. And I realize that those performers do it for hours at a time, so I think I have my work cut out for me 😅
My brain comes up with characters ALL THE TIME, and I have a very dominant one. They mostly interact with my sister because we are close and she gets the humor and nuances of the character. I'm really excited to actually make a puppet of one in particular. It's a fully fledged character, with a temperament, preferences, a unique voice, and talkativeness/lack thereof. It's extremely hard to go backwards and figure out what appearance fits something that already has most of its qualities, but I've been really working at it today. I hope I can pull through, finish it, and show you! Your videos are super helpful and are making me think even more creatively.
This channel is amazing. I really appreciate these lessons. I've never known any puppeteers and these videos have helped me so much. Thank you for all your doing to teach and inspire puppet people! You are the man.
The syllable thing wasn’t something I considered! I always thought the puppet had to hit every syllable to look like it was really “talking”. This makes so much sense and saves my hands from cramping lol
Always wanted to try Puppeteering since a child[inspired by Sesame street and the Muppets] and this really gave me a "push" on me wanting to try it. 3d modeling and tech is my strong suit. Puppeteering is also something I wanna do. I've even made rough sketches on characters I want to bring to life[I've made sketches on the mechanics too] Haha thank you!
I've had a recent interest in building and performing with puppets and I just wanted to drop in and say thank you so much for the consistent and free content over the years. Making puppets is more involved than I thought! I've learned so many basic techniques from your videos. Thanks again for making this content, you're helping move the art forward.
I just saw that you did this! How did I miss it?! Absolutely loved it and am really looking forward to the next in the series. So excited that you’re doing these.
What's the best position for when using a low table? Sitting? laying down? Should the arm with straight up or bent? I'm having trouble finding the right position
For those of you who not yet seen it, the wonderfully creative Kaufman film, "Being John Malkovich", has a strong thread of puppetry throughout - the making and performing of stringed puppets / marionettes is amazing.
Thanks Adam I'm from Las Vegas and bought my first puppet from a store at one of our malls here . I'm super excited to start and loved this video it had great tips . For pros and beginner alike .
Keep up the good work! Sorry that I'm late I was working on making a puppet from your other video(s) I'm gonna try and work on this now.Ty for your help all these years! I am grateful for your help. Now thanks to you,I am making my dream come true! Have a good life :3
Lol, i think i might have i new interest, taking notes on that. I've made puppets from socks and i have 2 puppets that are from my sister, i think i might start "performing" in front of my baby cousin cuz he is a child and may help entertain him and saves a lot of time to my aunt. Might work on that in the future, thanks!
I never really had an interest in puppeteering, but then found a thing I liked, and my favorite character loves puppeteering. I thought it was kinda funny but damn, I've never been this invested in something before haha
I think I'd be good at this because I spent most of my childhood playing with bratz dolls with my sister. We used to make them lip sync to songs on my ipod -even though they don't have moving mouths. We learned to make them move as if they were singing and we used a lot of the techniques in this video.
Adam spends so much time making patterns, and tutorials, with useful tips. Me, does everything wrong and ends up with a bunch of freaky weird puppets. I think I'm cursed.
Great video! Very informative and helpful thank you 🎉 I was asked to start a puppet ministry and I have no clue how to work a puppet or to even go about this ministry. However where God puts you he will equip you 😊 . Watching your video helps all I can say is wow and thank you
I make puppets in 3D in Blender. And to make the movements more believable, I was wondering if the movement is very liminal or if there's a lot. Like if there a lot of a few dreams for the head or the arm
I just watched another video with Adam Savage and the moving of the lower jar instead of the upper head was mentioned in that video as well. How do I get my thumbs to do that?!?! With my hand in that position, my thumb and fingers don’t work independently of each other. I can either move both at the same time, or not move them at all.
I had to come back to this video because I haven’t picked up my puppets in awhile and when I did they felt stiff. 2:47 We do! Thanks for acknowledgment 👍.
I had some extra supplies left over from my Mardi Gras costume and a pack of googley eyes so naturally after week 7 of being at home I made my first puppet. After building two from my imagination I figured it was time to learn some tips and found this cornucopia. Never thought about the craft until the other day and now I’m using this time to learn and you, sir, explain it well. It’s so fun! I’ve made 4 so far and they are so beautifully rudimentary, can’t wait to see what’s next for me in my puppet progress. And I subscribed to this channel and that’s a rarity.
Hi Adam! I'm K, and you're one of the big reasons i got into puppetry. I have a puppet named Zingo and I'm getting much better, thanks to you! Keep up the good work.
@@MJLuper I love using puppets that do t gave arms. So much less to focus on. Plus the arms to add to much unless you REALLY need them. I would focus mostly on ground and eye focus. That’s really the best thing to practice and make your character seem the most alive. Let me know how it turns out!!!
@@PuppetNerd I have another question for ya. I'm trying to figure out a way to cover myself so the camera can't see me on certain videos. Any suggestions? Thanks. My TikTok account @stitchesandneedles has a few videos on it if you want to critique my work. Thanks man.
Adam, thank you. I have had a life long passion for puppetry and only preforming in-person and virtual gigs for only 2 years. I find your advice on lip sync helpful. I have been very confused on how I express my puppets when they are angry or excited and found using each syllable in those cases hard. It's good to know I don't have to lip sync every syllable when there is a strong expression of emotion.
Hi Adam, I am so excited about 2020. This year I made a New Years resolution to change my life. And yes that change means I am now a puppeteer. Good looks don't last forever. lol Love the video today talking about talking with the puppet. With the breath, the syllables, when to accent a syllable and when not to, body movement, neck movement, walking, wow so much to learn, but hey I was a Disney Imagineer. I can imagine anything. Almost finished with my stage with green screen, for my first puppet music video with singers, instrumentalists with mini trumpet, sax, spot lights, fog machine, adding computer graphics when it's all done, and so on and so on... I've worked in the entertainment business for many years wearing many different hats so to speak especially as a live stage artist, vocalist and musician, as well as a stage hand, grip, propmaker, so I have a lot of necessary skills for this job. I just have to imagine I'm the puppet. I will try my best to create thoughtful, artful puppetry. It is now my new life goal. I love how you convey your message. Clear and distinct. I understand 1st time every time. I have one question. I have a bought puppet who's head moves more than the jaw. How can make the jaw easier to move and the head to move less, including taking the puppet apart to make an adjustment of some kind. I've worked on many music videos so I'm realistic on it's completion date. Thanks for all your help and insight. It will be months before my first video is finished. I already have the soundtrack so that's one down. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future. For now I'm just getting into the organizational stage. Caio for now...
Hey!!! This all sounds great! Can’t wait to see more! Regarding your puppet, I would really have to see it to give specific advice since it depends on the design. Are you sure it’s not just a matter of breaking it in like a baseball glove?
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I've been making improvements with my show - focusing on comedic timing and scripts. This information had some important reminders for me!
Your channel is great and so is your website! This was fantastic! Thanks so much for this! I’d love the see a part 2! Thanks for the link for the magazine. Will definitely check that out. My monster Gilly isn’t exactly a puppet (he’s a plush) but we have a great time and he’s really loved💚💙😊
so i liked the video but im curious on the technique to make it so only the lower part of the puppet move when i talk with the puppet the natural movement of the hand when trying to move just the thumb ends up moving the top part as well , is it just practice or is there a way to to help with this
Hey there, just wondering if you used material from David Pannabecker? I used his material to build two puppets with my own idea. Pretty expensive. Jim Henson used the very same material to build his puppets.😎
I have a question. Does the mouth plate go all the way to the place where your thumb and fingers join? Or what is the best way to avoid your hand hurting?
@@PuppetNerd I'm trying to do a dragon with your free pattern with a few modifications, so it does have a longer snout. Maybe that's why my hand was hurting? Too much weight in the front?
Adam: Uses a puppy to help
Me: Puppyteering
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol

Shockerbolt69 RBX hi
I really want to become a professional puppeteer and I've known it my whole life. My wife made me a puppet a while back and I just recently used it to play and interact with my daughter and I got this incredibly warm and fuzzy feeling seeing her interact with the puppet and laugh. I really feel like this is my calling in life, honestly.
Go for it man! All the best
go with your dreams dude!!!
You can do this
Watching kids watch a puppet - even when they can see you and know you are performing - is the best! Go for it! The world needs more puppets!
Please go for it man, it’s definitely your life’s calling!
I'm diving into the deep end and decided to build 2 puppets and to perform a puppet show for my microbiology class project. I figured it be a change of pace from all of the projects done before. Your videos are a major help. Wish me luck 😶
Good luck!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Finding a song you know well, and performing that in front of a mirror also helps. Aids lip sync and puppet movement.
