Production Blog for our animated/puppets eco project

[sputnikslim]

Hi all,

I just started a production blog for our eco-friendly preschool TV pilot, Toy Rescue with Skip & Molly. The show is about a couple of puppets that watch a vintage 1960's tv show and learn how to fix their own toys at the same time. Oh, and we are pretty sure this the first TV show made from garbage! We are at about 95% in the use of recycled/reused materials for all the sets/props/puppets ect. The fragments were purchased at estate sales, yard sales, recycle store at the dump, thrift stores, etc.

Was shot on a DvX100b. We will shift to HD once we sell the show.

If you want to take a look at the blog, here is a link:

Wow! That looks cool. I didn't recognize just the whole aspect of "lifting" things up for the puppeteers. It makes since, but just didn't think about it.

A fun project I'm sure and you'll seem very ... animated! about the project. :laugh:

Thanks. Yes, the puppeteers need as much room as possible to manuver and it needs to be at a comfort level to reduce fatigue. What is remarkable is that with the mass of cables and c stand legs under foot, they never tripped.
