This is some demo video of the horse puppets made for a production of War Horse in the UK. They’re phenomenal pieces of work, and have such a nice, fluid, lifelike appearance to them. They take 3 people to operate properly, and can actually support the weight of a rider.
This is the horse puppet being [...]

Via io9, it’s some fantastic sculptures by Sayaka Ganz, who uses discarded materials to create these wonderful creatures. Such a great re-use of products, and artistically wonderful; the sense of movement on them is really top-notch.
There are a bunch of projects and puppets that we’ve worked on in the last while that haven’t yet made it to the site. This is due entirely to me not taking the time, but I will do, soon. Hopefully.
That’s the plan, anyway.
Our own technology journalist is so good that he has a review up before the device has even been announced!
Mosspuppet has an exclusive photo of Steve Jobs(puppet) holding an iSlate, because what the hell; everyone else is being silly with the tablet rumors.
We’re going to be headed to MacWorld, to interview some presenters and attendees using a custom-built puppet for Paul Kent and his crew, which is pretty exciting. We’ll have a proper group of pictures up soon to show the puppet, but in the mean-time, this is what he looks like:
The site is running terribly slow, which is awesome. Also I need to put a bunch of updates on here, which I will likely not do until after I figure out why it’s slow. My guess is that it’s a theme issue; the current layout’s wearing thin on me, so I might look for a [...]
For a little while now, we’ve been doing rants using a parody of Walt Mossberg, theoretically under the name “Walt Mosspuppet.” (Gizmodo referred to him as Mosspuppet, and being a much higher source of traffic than we, the name stuck) These rants have been available at the Rant Puppets. They still will be, but now [...]

This is a Cylon Centurion puppet we built recently for a Battlestar Galactica parody that we’re working on. It was constructed with a nice dense foam, and painted with a coat of gray paint, and a coat of metallic paint, in order to give the nice, textured light.
If you’d like to see exactly how we [...]
Photos coming soon. I’m super-proud of the work on these puppets, they turned out REALLY well.
Yesterday I saw a link about the new mural being put up at the Warner Bros lot in California. I’ve never really paid attention to the geography of the buildings that the studios operate in, so I was unaware of the fact that there had been up until recently a semi-famous mural celebrating Warner Bros [...]
In my last post, I mentioned a thread on Puppet Hub, then talked about the value of being stolen from (essentially, though not in those words). I thought that I’d post my comments from that thread here (which are different from the comments I made in my previous post), saving you the 1/2 second of [...]
There’s an interesting discussion going on over at The Puppet Hub, titled “How Do We Keep Others From Stealing Our Ideas?,” which has about 50 comments as I write this, which is pretty good for a Puppet Hub discussion. It was sparked off by someone asking a very sincere, but I think very wrong-minded question:
How [...]
Last night I made a model of half of the pistol from Battlestar Galactica, using Super Sculpey (which is AWESOME, by the way). I was originally going to carve it out of floral foam, but that stuff breaks apart so very easily, and I’d rather have the ability to fix mistakes I make while not [...]
Work on the various Battlestar Galactica puppets continues. Here’s a photo of the current state of the build: we’ve got the body shapes for Tigh and Six, and also a prototype of Tyrol’s head. Helo won’t be a puppet, though in his place will likely be Athena/Sharon/Boomer.
Next up is building a prop replica of the [...]
This is a photo someone took of a dissected Master Replica Kermit. The Master Replica puppets are meant to serve as collectibles rather than puppets, as they don’t, as far as I’m aware, have any room inside them for a puppeteer’s hand, but they’re pretty cool.
Henson makes non-puppeteerable for-photo versions of their muppets to use [...]
Along with all of our various other projects, we’re working on some Battlestar Galactica puppets. Here are four of them, from very early (paper prototype) to early (foam head, no body). They’re coming along nicely, I think.
Hey all,
There’s still a LOT to be written for the second season, but I’m happy to report that I’ve just finished writing the first draft of the script for the second season premiere. It’s WAY too long, but it’s pretty funny.
In the next few days I’ll likely post an already-rewritten nightmare sequence that Jason has [...]
