puppetry

It must've been Sesame Street, but somewhere in my early childhood, I developed a love for puppetry that never went away. My first inclination towards performance involved puppetry, and I seemed to have a natural ability with it. For many years, I did shows for all sorts of audiences. Like the young Howard Stern, I even did puppet shows at nursing homes (although with far less controversial effect!). Church services, talent shows, vacation bible schools, civic groups, birthday parties, school projects, you name it. I've done a lot of puppet shows in my time.

When I started making videos, however, my puppetry hobby took on a new life, and these days I make music videos wtih puppets, usually centered around my own interests. It usually takes a couple of months to complete a video, because I do all the performing, directing and editing myself. These babies are true labors of love. I hope you enjoy them!

I started working on this video as a way to teach myself Adobe Premiere Pro. In a kind of bizarre alignment of the stars, I managed to combine my love for puppetry, Devo, the Web, and video production with an all-puppet music video for one of my favorite Devo songs from 1984, appropriately entitled "Puppet Boy". Enjoy.

After about 4 months of work, I finally completed the follow up to Puppet Boy. Once again, combining many things I love: computers, keyboards, Max Headroom, Kraftwerk, and Tron! I think this video shows that my skills have improved a lot in the intervening years since Puppet Boy. Click the image to watch it on YouTube, or click here to download the Windows Media version!

I've always loved puppetry, and always will. The Dark Crystal is one of my all-time favorite movies, and One Way Street's Puppet Ministry Festivals present some of the coolest creative outlets for kids I've ever seen. Bottom line: It's simply an art form that resonates with me, and I'm always looking for ways to do more of it.
