I've been working on a Foamy puppet and did some test videos which will be posted on YouTube this week. Nothing crazy, just getting a feel for things to see if it's something I want to work on... or if it works at all. The puppet took more time than I hoped it would, 'cause I made 5 of them, but eventually I settled on the first one I created. I will probably work on some more Foamy puppets in the future until I get what I feel is right, but for now, I'm more concerned with the "does it work" aspect thing. Assuming it works, it'll give me the opportunity to be a bit more topical and address current issues. That's always been the downside of animation, it's very difficult to talk about current events when those events are not current by the time you finish an episode.

Foamy Puppet Test : Foamy The Squirrel

I spent a bunch of time working on various Foamy puppets and decided (so far) on this one. I have to tweak some mic & camera settings, blue screen/backgounds and some other stuff, but generally this is a rough idea of what some puppet rants would look like. I can carry this over to a live show once I get a voice processor if I felt like it, but I may keep it as a random thing I do in order to keep up with more topical issues. We'll see. Post some feedback if you like. (Oddly, puppets aren't really my thing, so any constructive input would be appreciated) illwillpress.com
