his puppetry and songs are so awesome!! should have some awards for his puppetry and a gold album by now.... but you know... society... priorities in all the wrong places...
I love how Adam pointed out that once you put personality into a puppet you forget about the puppeteer, seemingly forgetting that he subconsciously did it himself earlier in the video when he couldn't help himself and said hello to the bug.
It's kinda like the puppet randy felt face, it's basically a puppet controlled by a comedian. The first minute your watching a puppet and the second minuted your watching randy. A good puppeteer will make you forget the puppet
Exactly, it's like second nature... Its weird because if i were talking to someone whos playing with a puppet, i would assume they're not even listening to me becaude they're too concentrated on giving personality to the puppet. But here he's doing it like the puppet has a mind on its own, and even formulates answers like the puppet and him are 2 different beings
So interesting to see that when he puts the bits and bobs on his hands it's just plastic parts. and as soon as he moves it into the "animal-pose" the puppet just instantly springs to life becomes an animal and is recognisable as an animal. Amazing work
I like how he uses the puppets as a replacement for natural gesticulating during speech. Instead of "talking with his hands" he talks with his puppets.
So the crazy thing about Barnaby is how young he is, and how intelligent, ingenious, and innovative he is, at such a young age! If you watch his videos, it's striking how well the editing is done; the original music that he makes himself, etc. He literally does it all, and I'm just tickled at the idea that he's legitimately just getting started! Watching these two talk to each other makes me think that Barnaby is a young Adam Savage in the making. I hope you feature him more!
It makes me SO happy to see Barnaby Dixon get the attention and acknowledgment he deserves. He has such a unique set of talents and developed skills. I genuinely think he'll be the next Jim Henson with the correct connections, and Adam seems like a perfect friend in that pursuit.
The Dark Crystal tv series, he gets a part in an episode doing a puppet show for the gelflings. It was awesome. You best believe is has been 100% recognised by the greats and is currently doing things with them.
I totally agree! He has developed a fairly new puppeting method! He has an incredible talent that should be shared with the whole world! I can just imagine how he lights up and inspires children's imaginations! God bless you all

My 7year old daughter absolutely loves dabchick she is absolutely obsessed with him as am I. My daughter also has ADHD and dabchick is one of the best things I have found that calms her down and she will just sit on the computer for hrs watching all the dabchick episodes and never gets bored with them. It's actually helped me a lot to start calming her down for bedtime.
Might not show her this. At 7 I knew Kermit was a puppet but I don't know that I would have wanted to see his guts and ping pong eyeballs rolling around on a table.
1978garfield Just because you know that it is a puppet does not diminish the entertainment value. If the puppet and puppeteer are good enough, then they can make you forget that you are having a conversation (or argument) with an inanimate object.
I have ADHD as well and I do the exact same thing. It’s funny how a hyperactive puppet moving around doing lively things chills a person down. It’s like a life hack, like a... person hack.
I love how as soon as Barnaby puts on he different puppets you can see their individual personalities and movement quirks! As an animator i know how hard this is, so to do it almost unconsciously and keeping it up even while on a different subject is just amazing.
I think my favorite part of this channel is Adam geeking out over things like a 12 year old. Just because you grow older, you dont have to completely grow up.
I had ni idea barnaby was going to be in the episode, so it was extremely delighting to see his puppeteering just being a loyal dark crystal fan and IMMEDIATELY recognizing his talent!
I’m so glad people like this exist. Intelligence and creativity in equal measure, not to mention a thoroughly coherent and humble sounding young man. Bravo Barnaby
Daniel Willits not to mentioned hardworking and perseverance. Just looking at the puppets you can see the time it takes to trial and error in making them and then learning them.
When I was a child I always pretend my hands were some kind of creatures/animals. And now when I see that man making beautiful creatures and moves them like they‘re real makes me remember my childhood, I wish I could make those puppets :3
@@orhio609 copying is the ultimate form of idolizing. 99.9% of things are copies with a personal change or betterment to it. With time they stack up and make the modern things we have today.
The way he disassembled the bug puppet so suddenly, just tearing the top half from the bottom, the puppet instantly losing all personality, going limp and lifeless, it was off-putting.
Imagine stepping into a closet where Muppets like Kermit are stored. Characters always full of life and energy laying dead, or hanging like skins laid out to dry. people who have seen the Muppets puppets not being used have always described it as creepy and off putting because your brain makes them a person, gives them life when they never had any and you don't think twice about this cloth person not being a living creature, same with his hand puppets. Dabchick laying out on the table is a bit creepy when I'm used to seeing him in videos emoting and moving
Adam is right - as soon as Barnaby puts on the puppet it's hard to look beyond the puppet and see the (hand of the) puppeteer. Love how the puppets move - this is art, magic and craftsmanship combined. Thanks for showing us this!
What strikes me is how beautifully organic the motions of the puppet are, it seems to almost flow between the movements! While that is due to the research Barnaby Dixon put into his work certainly, it's still so very striking and beautiful to see it in action.
Dabchick must have been on the “good” downers on the day to stay so quiet and complacent. Maybe he was just slightly overwhelmed. Nah, he was on something strong.
I love how adorable Adam became in this. Speaking of the kids loosing sight of the puppeteer I think he lost it himself! Becoming totally enthralled by the dynamism and organic look of the figures not to mention Barnaby's amazing performace skills! It was a beautiful thing to watch and so informative.
I am so so happy seeing Barnaby being noticed. Incredible creator. His work has amazed me for probably about 2 years now. He completely brings his work to life, i am forever lost in his characters. So so much love for his work!
Give this man enough time and resources and he could build an actual mech suit that functions purely through mechanical means without any electrical charge
The way he moves his hands makes the puppets look so life-like and smooth, like I'm watching a Disney Animation in real life, I wish to do puppeteering in the future! You really inspired me :D
I've watched a bit of Dabchick before but still found myself smiling uncontrollably like a child in awe whenever the puppets were on display, what an utter joy to watch. Not to mention Barnaby himself is such an interesting, skillful & pleasant person, hope we get to share in Adam gushing over his work again in the future.
I come back to this video so often. It’s such a ray of sunshine! Barnaby is so talented and humble, and Adam is so enthusiastic and eager to learn. They seem like such natural friends.
I think they must've gone over the questions beforehand? Or maybe Barnaby just practiced the question he was sure would be asked. Either way, this might've been scripted to SOME extent. Don't lose faith! No matter where you come from, if you practice enough, your speaking skills will improve, no doubt!
You're seeing interviews with the smart and successful ones who were good enough at what they do and smart enough to achieve a certain level of recognition for their talent and work. I'm sure if you saw interviews with soccer hooligans, Geordies (sp?) who act like they're on "jersey shore",, lower class cockney workmen...et cetera than you wouldn't feel the same way.
Lol I love watching Adam act like a kid in a candy store because it shows he is genuine. Which is what I love so many people are fake but this is real. Good work guys.
Man, even taking into account the fact that I could see Barnaby and his hands, the puppets' movements were so convincing. It was a blast to watch this.
Barnaby is the only creator I support on patreon. He’s a down to earth and genuinely funny guy, with great content So glad he’s here on tested. Will do wonders for his following/career
The most amazing thing about puppeteers and ventriloquists is, if they're good, the puppets take on such a life of it's own that you no longer see them as puppets. Almost like the puppeteer has a split personality and the secondary personality exists in the puppet rather than through the puppet.
The amount of life that he puts into these puppets is amazing. Something that particularly stuck out to me was at 15:58 it sits down in his hand, and then stretches, and the whole puppet shudders a little bit with the stretch, which is such a nice detail and makes it all the more believable.
Makers are one of the most supportive, inquisitive and interested in other makers. I don’t find a lot of competition which is so refreshing. Adam is always so energized by watching and discovering other makers.
I think it would be cool to make a baby dragon with the same "aardvark" base with an even longer swinging tail and baby-like wings showing they are too small to fly yet. Then just mass produce them and sell them to Renascence fairs around the world and toy companies and your good to go. People LOVE dragons so I figure it would be a good start.
uhhhh hate to disappoint you bud, but nobody "loves" dragons, half as much as you believe. That's just for weird DeviantArt freaks, Bronies, and Furries, coincidentally all of these have a crossover with BadDragon customers. Most of the world doesn't even think about dragons lmao.
RARI dino LMAO WHAT?! Everybody knows what witches and wizards are too dumbfuck. Your pfp and name explains a lot about your asinine reply. You dragonfucking deviantart losers need to chill.
@@spleens4200 But I do get laid, fairly often. I'm not emotional just because I use mean words :( sowwi guys I'll only say positive things no matter how stupid somebody else is pls forgie me
I don’t think I have ever commented on a RUclips video before but this needed to be said, Thank you sooooo much for letting me know that this guy exists. He is brilliant! Beautiful creations. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go tell everyone I know about his videos!
Here's the thing that startled me about this: given something that Barnaby said early on in the piece, I feel that unequivocally celebrating him is a little hypocritical on Adam's part, and here's why: Barnaby's trying to patent the ENTIRE IDEA of this kind of hand/accessory puppet (search "patent WO2017207990A3"). Obviously, no one should be able to copy his characters, nor sell them. But if that patent is awarded, no one else (including Adam) will be able to make ANY kind of two hand/costume puppet without being in violation of said patent. That seems to me like "...treating something as a scarce commodity, when it is not scarce at all" (from Adam’s talk at the 2018 Bay Area Maker Faire on May 23). Maybe that's not the intent, but that's what it seems like to me.
I mean, there's a balance there, because he's come up with a new form of puppet, and there's very little to stop someone else seeing how he did it and producing them to sell without him seeing a cent.
Adam is awesome. Offering his studio to him is precious. Im so glad the two of them met. Pay attention folks, i swear this kid will be a modern Walt Disney, but better and with a different medium.
That's incredible. The bird was so lifelike that Adam couldn't help but talk to it like it were a real bird. Even seeing all the visible mechanics of it, I can still barely convince my brain it's not alive.
I've never seen, or heard of this guy! It's a wonderful thing you do Adam, helping showcase young talented people so we can enjoy there gift, Thank you Adam and everyone at AST.
Great to see Barnaby Dixon finally get some great exposure for the AMAZING work he does!!! I’ve been following his work for a long time an it is an absolutely work of art!!!
i just want to draw some attention to the skill this guy has. Even at 20:00 where the bird sticks his head in the hole is probably very diffifult. He has to know exactly how the puppet reacts to his movements in order to stick a head in a hole. Amazing
That plastic btw, if it's what I think, is polycaprolactone. It's sold under all sorts of names, the stuff I've used is called Polymorph but I think it's all the same material so brand doesn't matter. I think the reason it's not a huge thing with makers is it's not patented so nobody can make much money selling it, so there's not much advertising/marketing. The plus side of that is, it's pretty cheap! I love the stuff, so versatile and easy to work with. Seriously, half the time people 3D print something they'd be better off sculpting it from PCL. Quicker, easier, and stronger.
I had the stuff lying around for over a year and never realised that dabchick was made from it. I agree, especially with the 3D printing sidenote ;) Amazing stuff that really comes in handy at every crafting occasion.
Polymorph! Oh wow. I have a bag of that stuff from the 90's from a "robotics kit" that was sold by association with a robotics challenge TV show on BBC (not Robot Wars, the other one). Wonder where I left it...
I just watched Barnaby's puppet work in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I recognised his style as the puppet show Gelfling within a puppet show in Episode 7.

I've watched a bit of Dabchick before but still found myself smiling uncontrollably like a child in awe whenever the puppets were on display, what an utter joy to watch. Not to mention Barnaby himself is such an interesting, skillful & pleasant person, hope we get to share in Adam gushing over his work again in the future.
His musical talents are amazing when mixed with his puppets
16:00 I love how Barnaby makes them so.. Bubbly and cute and gosh this man is magical xD
I come back to this video so often. It’s such a ray of sunshine! Barnaby is so talented and humble, and Adam is so enthusiastic and eager to learn. They seem like such natural friends.

Why do English people always seem so damn professional and quick to answers. Really makes me wish I grew up over there lol
I think they must've gone over the questions beforehand? Or maybe Barnaby just practiced the question he was sure would be asked. Either way, this might've been scripted to SOME extent. Don't lose faith! No matter where you come from, if you practice enough, your speaking skills will improve, no doubt!
There's smart people in every race. There's plenty of idiots too.

Yeah true, I've been watching the UK Discovery ID channel and holy crap there's some bad apples
He’s been interviewed a bunch & makes all these puppets himself, so I’m sure he talks about this every day.
You're seeing interviews with the smart and successful ones who were good enough at what they do and smart enough to achieve a certain level of recognition for their talent and work. I'm sure if you saw interviews with soccer hooligans, Geordies (sp?) who act like they're on "jersey shore",, lower class cockney workmen...et cetera than you wouldn't feel the same way.
This video opened my eyes to the actual amount of detail that goes into these teenie puppets, amazing 😯
Dabchick was so well behaved here! 😂😂😂
That’s because he’s not drunk or eating mushrooms.
Mary Udomah yeah trust me i watched that video
Molly Williams he was sober that's why
Lol I love watching Adam act like a kid in a candy store because it shows he is genuine. Which is what I love so many people are fake but this is real. Good work guys.
I love how Adam genuinely fan-boys over each puppet and is genuinely intrigued by every part from the puppet itself to the puppeteering.
Man, even taking into account the fact that I could see Barnaby and his hands, the puppets' movements were so convincing. It was a blast to watch this.
the dino-puppet is definitely my favourite. if you haven't seen it you should really head over to barnaby's channel and watch it! :)
Yeah the dino is really cute.
I like the tiki tribal guy he's my favourite

The Adam puppet looks like it's screaming in the background

Or like he just busted a fat nut?
I have no mouth and I must scream.

There can only be one

Jordan C. Wilde hahahahaha
He didn't show us what he used the mouth for later
The aardvark/porcupine has so much personality, i love it! It feels alive
The fluidity of movement in those puppets is just so organic; it's incredible. And the teeny bug-mantis dude is friggin' ADORABLE!!
Barnaby is the only creator I support on patreon. He’s a down to earth and genuinely funny guy, with great content
So glad he’s here on tested. Will do wonders for his following/career
The most amazing thing about puppeteers and ventriloquists is, if they're good, the puppets take on such a life of it's own that you no longer see them as puppets. Almost like the puppeteer has a split personality and the secondary personality exists in the puppet rather than through the puppet.
The amount of life that he puts into these puppets is amazing. Something that particularly stuck out to me was at 15:58 it sits down in his hand, and then stretches, and the whole puppet shudders a little bit with the stretch, which is such a nice detail and makes it all the more believable.
slap on a Green screen and suit and bam a new form of movies are born 👌
I'm hopeful that we get these puppetry in movies. I'd would be so refreshing to see puppetry used in movies again.
FLUXXEUS something with an isle of dogs-muppets theme would be amazing :0
I was waiting for Dabchick to come to life and start yelling at Adam. "What are you looking at?"
Makers are one of the most supportive, inquisitive and interested in other makers. I don’t find a lot of competition which is so refreshing. Adam is always so energized by watching and discovering other makers.
jim henson, if he was still alive, would of loved mr.dixon
huge fan of barnaby, it was awesome seeing him on Tested. Would love to have him come back.
Must say that IT IS ADORABLE seeing adam geek out over Dixon. ❤
There aren’t many things that can fill me with childish joy but these puppets do. The cleverness of it all is almost magical!
I love how the adam puppet is just staring at you throughout the video in the background
I think it would be cool to make a baby dragon with the same "aardvark" base with an even longer swinging tail and baby-like wings showing they are too small to fly yet. Then just mass produce them and sell them to Renascence fairs around the world and toy companies and your good to go. People LOVE dragons so I figure it would be a good start.
uhhhh hate to disappoint you bud, but nobody "loves" dragons, half as much as you believe. That's just for weird DeviantArt freaks, Bronies, and Furries, coincidentally all of these have a crossover with BadDragon customers. Most of the world doesn't even think about dragons lmao.
John Doe shut up, why do you think so many people still know what dragons are
RARI dino LMAO WHAT?! Everybody knows what witches and wizards are too dumbfuck. Your pfp and name explains a lot about your asinine reply. You dragonfucking deviantart losers need to chill.
John Doe also go get laid, you’re getting emotional over fictional creatures as if you speak for the entire human race
@@spleens4200 But I do get laid, fairly often. I'm not emotional just because I use mean words :( sowwi guys I'll only say positive things no matter how stupid somebody else is pls forgie me
I don’t think I have ever commented on a RUclips video before but this needed to be said, Thank you sooooo much for letting me know that this guy exists. He is brilliant! Beautiful creations. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go tell everyone I know about his videos!
These are some of the coolest puppets I’ve ever seen! It’s almost hypnotizing to watch them move!
I love the bug so much I cant even put it into words. It's so damn adorable. Imagine if he made a scorpion like one.
I can’t wait for Adam to One Day Build his own
I would like to add my name to this petition.
more than a one day build tbh but an interctive black light set for these puppets would be awesome
I’m seriously considering doing something g with my 3D printer. Maybe something less organic, like a robot.
Here's the thing that startled me about this: given something that Barnaby said early on in the piece, I feel that unequivocally celebrating him is a little hypocritical on Adam's part, and here's why: Barnaby's trying to patent the ENTIRE IDEA of this kind of hand/accessory puppet (search "patent WO2017207990A3").
Obviously, no one should be able to copy his characters, nor sell them. But if that patent is awarded, no one else (including Adam) will be able to make ANY kind of two hand/costume puppet without being in violation of said patent. That seems to me like "...treating something as a scarce commodity, when it is not scarce at all" (from Adam’s talk at the 2018 Bay Area Maker Faire on May 23).
Maybe that's not the intent, but that's what it seems like to me.
I mean, there's a balance there, because he's come up with a new form of puppet, and there's very little to stop someone else seeing how he did it and producing them to sell without him seeing a cent.
Now we know why Dabchick needed a shave. Gotta be presentable,
It's so like him to pretend to be mute. He always takes the piss.
true
Stephen Yosick lol
Oh, shut up.
Adam is awesome. Offering his studio to him is precious. Im so glad the two of them met. Pay attention folks, i swear this kid will be a modern Walt Disney, but better and with a different medium.
I love Barnaby Dixon so much. So glad to see that he's getting more and more recognition for his amazing work.
That's incredible. The bird was so lifelike that Adam couldn't help but talk to it like it were a real bird. Even seeing all the visible mechanics of it, I can still barely convince my brain it's not alive.
Then he might as well be alive, lol
excuse me....
his name is dabchick
This is pure gold geek talk -- I Love it! Look at how quickly the conversation flows and how well they understand each other!
The perfect collab doesn’t exis...

@@toils8722 And you missed the joke.
Must not have made it to the joke yet, but Sean Evans and Theo Vonn come to mind of the HotOnes episode. 😀
Two of my favorite youtubers in the same video!?!
My favorite streamer, once played with my favorite gaming RUclipsr on my favorite game
*in* the same video
Yeah, barnaby’s made it to the top
I don’t really classify Adam Savage as a youtuber. I see him more as a badass that mellowed out a little and now does RUclips.
I've never seen, or heard of this guy! It's a wonderful thing you do Adam, helping showcase young talented people so we can enjoy there gift, Thank you Adam and everyone at AST.
Great to see Barnaby Dixon finally get some great exposure for the AMAZING work he does!!! I’ve been following his work for a long time an it is an absolutely work of art!!!
The puppets are so cute and they really do look like a completely different organism like adam said
i just want to draw some attention to the skill this guy has. Even at 20:00 where the bird sticks his head in the hole is probably very diffifult. He has to know exactly how the puppet reacts to his movements in order to stick a head in a hole. Amazing
Barnaby Dixon needs to record audio books
He sings like an angel!! You should listen to his latest cover, is on his last video, check it out.
Most people: avengers infinity war is the most ambitious crossover.
Me:
Kylo's Vlogs thank you!!!!!! Some one understands
Soooo amaizing! For me as a puppeteer it's a big honor meet people like Barnaby. Let the world meet the magical power of puppetry art.
That plastic btw, if it's what I think, is polycaprolactone. It's sold under all sorts of names, the stuff I've used is called Polymorph but I think it's all the same material so brand doesn't matter.
I think the reason it's not a huge thing with makers is it's not patented so nobody can make much money selling it, so there's not much advertising/marketing. The plus side of that is, it's pretty cheap!
I love the stuff, so versatile and easy to work with. Seriously, half the time people 3D print something they'd be better off sculpting it from PCL. Quicker, easier, and stronger.
Wikipedia says trade names include "Plastimake, NiftyFix, Protoplastic, InstaMorph, Polymorph, Shapelock, ReMoldables, Plastdude or TechTack"
You should do some videos on making!
I buy that stuff from Amazon as Polly Plastics
I had the stuff lying around for over a year and never realised that dabchick was made from it. I agree, especially with the 3D printing sidenote ;) Amazing stuff that really comes in handy at every crafting occasion.
Polymorph! Oh wow. I have a bag of that stuff from the 90's from a "robotics kit" that was sold by association with a robotics challenge TV show on BBC (not Robot Wars, the other one). Wonder where I left it...
Wow! I never thought this would be a cross over! Nice one barnaby
I just watched Barnaby's puppet work in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I recognised his style as the puppet show Gelfling within a puppet show in Episode 7.
