Inside My Brain

Change what needs to be changed so we can all be better.

That a lot of people tend to think puppets are “too difficult to work with” and go with CG instead!  You just can’t replace the REAL deal! 

None that I’m aware of at the moment. There were quite a few around the release of the first film, but they have all moved onto other things since.

I saw that! Fingers crossed! 

I don’t, unfortunately...  Dummies are a little outside of my wheelhouse, there are LOTS of great builders online, but I wouldn’t know where to send you first. Sorry! 

Nothing TOO big in the works right now, with everything shut down... But I’ve been building a LOT of puppets for performers around the world, and I’m working on a new series for my YouTube channel!

The first time I saw the puppet he was in a “raw” state; no paint, no eyes, just a blank slate. Once he was finished and brought to set, I was kind of intimidated, so I sat for about 4 hours in Stine’s house, while they were shooting outside, working with him in a mirror. 

Sure!  He’s got about 235 books worth of friends on his shelf! 

I’ve actually given this one a lot of thought...Snappy: Gilbert Gottfried, John DiMaggio, or Seth MacFarlane Mary Ellen: Jenny Slate, Ellen Greene, or Tress MacNeilleMr. Wood: Mark Hamill, Kevin Michael Richardson, or Willem Dafoe

Absolutely! There are SO many great resources available online for aspiring puppeteers and builders! I’ll link a few below that I wish had been available to me when I got started!FOR PUPPETEERS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0KILOGC_Vkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hBfb1MtZ9sFOR BUILDERS: https://www.projectpuppet.com/http://www.adamkreutinger.com/https://puppetpelts.com/

Of course! And I loved it!  I grew up watching the Toy Story movies, and since I work with inanimate objects for a living, I owe Pixar and their movies a lot.  And it’s REALLY cool to me that they featured a character that I assume was partially inspired by something I’m lucky enough to play a part of for the last 5 years!
