When I was a TV and film puppeteer, I was one of only a handful of British puppeteers that used straightscan monitors. The vast majority preferred reverse scan (which was always a PITA especially if one of the reverse scan performers somehow found themselves using my straight scan mid scene, throwing them off). It’s been 20 years since I shifted over to CG animation and VFX but weirdly now finding myself missing the performance aspect of puppeteering. A lot.
Omg he did it! He did it!!!!!!!the final piece to my puzzle!!! You’re the greatest!!
I really appreciate all your videos on construction of puppets and how to film them Adam, thank you so much for all you share!!!
I really appreciate the amount of effort taken!! Thank you for sharing....
They say that this is how Jim Hinson got information on how he made the muppets.

I so so appreciate hit videos, I am an aspiring puppeteer, and I’m working on making my own show. Thanks so much for your tips and tricks!! I’d love to see some vids on how to edit videos for beginners! Thanks so much!
This is so awesome .. I can not thank you enough . We will be initiating a program in our public school system at school in Pinellas county Florida . Stay tuned .. I will send you a link so you can see how much this video helped us when school starts
Thanks so much I learned a lot from you mr. Adam
Great tips. I'm just about ready to get a Canon M50 for studio photography of sculptures, but I want to be able to do this type of video production with puppets with it in the future also. Wonderful stuff, Adam.

Thanks, for this Adam! Awesome stuff!!
Never been interested in puppets, been watching all your videos. Unique and captivating content.
You are awesome dude. You give a lot of great wisdom. I’m just getting into the art of it all and I’m excited to learn more :0)
I loved Arlo he's so adorable.. I am just starting to get a passion for puppetry but I want to use mine in the ministry field.
Your are very inspiring! I watched your video when I made my puppet show. Thank you for the advice.
Than you Adam. I binge watched your videos (in the wrong order mostly🤯) until my brain did that👈. I am a vanlife/adrenaline junky travelling the country with my "Narwhal" recording podcasts. I have a 1983 Toyota Dolphin and completely remodeled for an interview area. My hope is to set up where my Narwhal road mate shows up to interrupt the process of the interviews. You got me thinking about hardwiring cables to certain parts of the vehicle to connect monitors, power, etc. I'll share more when I have more to share 🤞 Thank you for sharing your craft, Cap'n Mac of the LS Narwhal 🦄🚙🐬

I'm a little late to the field of puppetry, but i have found myself in a position of teaching Drama to 5th graders in China. Your channel has opened up a new avenue of content to be taught to my students. Every year we do an "English Day" at the school and I would love some advice on doing a show based on the "Yip Yip characters from Sesame Street. It may not necessarily be a live show, but it would be great if you could do a tutorial on how to make the characters and a demonstration on how a small group go 6th graders could perform a simple sketch. I have some ideas brewing, but have never once in my life made a puppet. I plan on spend all of my summer holiday figuring out and tinkering with it. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I wish you the best moving forward!
I really needed this. Thanks Adam!

Great video. Newbie puppeteer here. The monitor is a brilliant idea to really focus on the camera. It will be about 2 months before I get the rest of the stage lights but this really helped out a lot. Saw another of your videos on making the eyes move. Decided to subscribe so you might be able to give me more insight on the puppet show. I'm actually making a music video with the puppets. Lots of factors with a lead singer and 2 backup singers/horn players. I should be great fun. Thanks for the tips...

I use an old TV that I used to use as my computer monitor. It works great and it's 27 inches so it's plenty big to see across the room. My big issue is lighting my green screen.
Adam I’ve only see a few of your vids but wow, am I impressed. Great teaching, great techniques, great communication. 💥 I’ve recorded 30+ shows now and we created a community, write books as well as created products. The next step is to find partnerships. Any suggestions or tips for that?
My favorite part about the tutorial you worked on is the animated “fridge magnets” credit sequences.

Update: Just finished the stage and most of the lights are here from China. I was using my big monitor from my computer on my desk but turning my head might not be so good when moving the puppet, so I ordered a 12 in monitor for $60 and should be here in a month. Enough time to finish the lighting and practice with the puppets. Need to get on Instagram to communicate better...

do you have a recommendations for lighting? I'm having trouble keeping the background lit without weird shadows??? and keeping my puppet lit.

I don't use puppets, but I use something very similar, plushes. I'm working on a few plush videos with Popular Characters like Mario and Mickey Mouse, so I watched this video to learn a few techniques for my plush vids.
I was wondering how you hook everything up to the monitor to the video recorder I have a professional video recorder different from yours and I can't seem to figure out how to hook the monitor up is there a way to do this or do you have a video on all the wiring of stuff ?
Hello Adam! Thanks for the awesome video, it is very helpful and informative. I wanted to ask would you have a video that talks about sound when recording your puppet show, or do you just use the mic from the camera? Thanks!

It depends on what kind of production. Most of the time we use the mini shotgun mic on the camera. If it’s super complicated we will occasionally prerecord.
