Adam: Uses a puppy to help
Me: Puppyteering
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol
@@PuppetNerd Haha, thanks for pinning my comment! 😀
Puppy’s are the cutest
No kitten and puppy’s are equally cute
Shockerbolt69 RBX hi
I really want to become a professional puppeteer and I've known it my whole life. My wife made me a puppet a while back and I just recently used it to play and interact with my daughter and I got this incredibly warm and fuzzy feeling seeing her interact with the puppet and laugh. I really feel like this is my calling in life, honestly.
Go for it man! All the best
go with your dreams dude!!!
You can do this
Watching kids watch a puppet - even when they can see you and know you are performing - is the best! Go for it! The world needs more puppets!
Please go for it man, it’s definitely your life’s calling!
I'm diving into the deep end and decided to build 2 puppets and to perform a puppet show for my microbiology class project. I figured it be a change of pace from all of the projects done before. Your videos are a major help. Wish me luck 😶
Good luck!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
How did it go
Hey man howd it go?
@@user-ym5bv6vv9p This has nothing to do with anything but you’re the latest person I have seen active in the comments of UA-cam
@@TheEmilyp2012 i must be special
Finding a song you know well, and performing that in front of a mirror also helps. Aids lip sync and puppet movement.
❤️❤️
Excellent! I would definitely be interested in seeing a part 2 to this tutorial.
Awesome! Thanks! Hoping Cam will be in it too!
Thank you! I have an audition for Ave Q soon, and this is absolutely going to help me nail Princeton!
I just love watching Arlo
❤️❤️
@@PuppetNerd - That little Arlo puppet reminds me of the "Gutsick Gibbon" channel. Ericka, the GG, does her own animation and her main character is Gutsick Gibbon, a lean blue Gibbon that she uses as an avatar at times. Arlo looks very much like Ericka's cartoon Gibbon.
------------------------
She is a paleoprimatology PhD candidate who does videos debunking those who try to disprove evolution and also teaches about various early Hominins and other pre-Sapien topics. She is whip smart and has a great sense of humor.
------------------------
Puppets of our early hominin ancestors would be REALLY COOL!
For real, Adam!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I decided that a thing I want to do in 2020 is learn and practice puppetry, your video could not be more timely! ❤
Happy to help! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Same m8
I just filmed a whole series of puppet videos for my Bounce House business .
After watching this , I did a lot wrong . But I’m releasing them anyway . I think they are hilarious.
I’m going to really learn this craft . I had a great time doing puppets without knowing what i was doing .
Always wanted to try Puppeteering since a child[inspired by Sesame street and the Muppets] and this really gave me a "push" on me wanting to try it. 3d modeling and tech is my strong suit. Puppeteering is also something I wanna do. I've even made rough sketches on characters I want to bring to life[I've made sketches on the mechanics too] Haha thank you!
Excellent! One of the things I did for myself years ago was create a practice puppet with very small eye pupils. It forced me to be more precise when looking into a camera or addressing another puppet. That practice helped me to perfect exactly where my other puppets were looking.
Perfect!!!
This channel is amazing. I really appreciate these lessons. I've never known any puppeteers and these videos have helped me so much. Thank you for all your doing to teach and inspire puppet people! You are the man.
I’m loving this series so far Adam! I just grabbed a puppet I had and started lip syncing to the video and what you said. I really started to understand how many syllables I should be hitting when a character talks. Thank you man! I can’t wait for your future uploads on the channel you have great content. I definitely will send a video to be featured!
Thanks so much!!!! It was a lot of work. Soooo glad you like it. There is more coming!!!
I’m an animator and agree!!
Awesome!!!! Then you know for sure!!!
yes part two...would be great. I am really loving learning about puppets and puppetry.
Thanks so much!!!!
Grandsons love puppets. Thank You, need to make a few
Amazing video. Excellent explanation with good examples.
I've had a recent interest in building and performing with puppets and I just wanted to drop in and say thank you so much for the consistent and free content over the years. Making puppets is more involved than I thought! I've learned so many basic techniques from your videos. Thanks again for making this content, you're helping move the art forward.
Happy to help!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Adam spends so much time making patterns, and tutorials, with useful tips. Me, does everything wrong and ends up with a bunch of freaky weird puppets. I think I'm cursed.
My brain comes up with characters ALL THE TIME, and I have a very dominant one. They mostly interact with my sister because we are close and she gets the humor and nuances of the character. I'm really excited to actually make a puppet of one in particular. It's a fully fledged character, with a temperament, preferences, a unique voice, and talkativeness/lack thereof. It's extremely hard to go backwards and figure out what appearance fits something that already has most of its qualities, but I've been really working at it today. I hope I can pull through, finish it, and show you! Your videos are super helpful and are making me think even more creatively.
I really appreciate this Adam. Thank you so much 😊
Thanks so much!!!!
NICE! The puppet thing reminds me of my puppet seven locks counselor.
Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to incorporated it to my puppet here.
I would love to learn more about hand puppets and developing characters!
I expand on this video in my new book! amzn.to/3LbzqCf
This was so helpful! This really helped me. Also I hope that you create another video about creating a character.
We are planning on it! Coming soon!!!!
Thanks Adam I'm from Las Vegas and bought my first puppet from a store at one of our malls here . I'm super excited to start and loved this video it had great tips . For pros and beginner alike .
You are a wonderful and effective teacher. Well done
ghost
so glad i came across ur channel! this is a great resource. thank you for making this accessible, free, and engaging!
Omg I'm so excited and glad I found this channel
Thanks for stopping by!
I just saw that you did this! How did I miss it?! Absolutely loved it and am really looking forward to the next in the series. So excited that you’re doing these.
Thanks so much!!!!
7:11 that’s what Elmo does so you know that’s professional
I'd love to see Part 2 of puppetry basics!
It’s coming!
THANK YOU FOR THIS I rediscovered my love for puppetry recently and I want to start building/working them and this helped me so much.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is my first time doing puppeteer so this might be a fun new thing for me or a terrifying one. But I won't give up.
I didn't expect this to be this helpful! Thak you so much
YES, thanks for this Adam
❤️❤️❤️ Happy to help!
Puppy eye lock. I love it!
Whe you started about the control part I was disappointed but then i remembered practice makes perfect AND THEN YOU SAID TO PRACTICE. im exited again
8:30
What I would usually do, Adam, is I would improvise and try to make it seem like the puppet was the one having the hiccups
I think I'd be good at this because I spent most of my childhood playing with bratz dolls with my sister. We used to make them lip sync to songs on my ipod -even though they don't have moving mouths. We learned to make them move as if they were singing and we used a lot of the techniques in this video.
Thank you so much! I'm trying to start doing short films and was trying to use a puppet for the scary bits and your videos helped a lot.
Lol, i think i might have i new interest, taking notes on that. I've made puppets from socks and i have 2 puppets that are from my sister, i think i might start "performing" in front of my baby cousin cuz he is a child and may help entertain him and saves a lot of time to my aunt. Might work on that in the future, thanks!
protect this man at all cost
I never really had an interest in puppeteering, but then found a thing I liked, and my favorite character loves puppeteering. I thought it was kinda funny but damn, I've never been this invested in something before haha
Thank you so much
Thank you!
My flamingo thanks you for the advice
Keep up the good work! Sorry that I'm late I was working on making a puppet from your other video(s) I'm gonna try and work on this now.Ty for your help all these years! I am grateful for your help. Now thanks to you,I am making my dream come true! Have a good life :3
❤️❤️❤️
Great job man love it. Love the ground reminder and the Henson punch. 🤜🏼
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I am new to puppetry and was wondering about the syllables! Thanks for the tip about the Henson punch! The entire video was great!
this helped me soooo much!
Hey Adam, are you planning on being at this year‘s Puppeteers of America meeting in August that’s happening in Portland, Oregon?
Probably not this year. We still have a little baby. But I’ll be at one soon!
Adam Kreutinger I hear you, traveling with a little one is difficult!
Very talented
Hey adam. Thank you 🤩
Hey! Sure thing!
Great video! Very informative and helpful thank you 🎉 I was asked to start a puppet ministry and I have no clue how to work a puppet or to even go about this ministry. However where God puts you he will equip you 😊 . Watching your video helps all I can say is wow and thank you
This is Awesome. Totally using some of these techniques with my niece!
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks buddy! If she wants to make a puppet, here’s a great place to start! ua-cam.com/video/K9NfVw9AgqE/v-deo.html
I love you how have so much passion.
Yes, I would like to see and thank you for this one.
This was very helpful.
Happy to help!
I knew I needed a lot of practice. Now I have some direction. Hoping to grow my audience beyond where I’m at now.
Awesome! I look forward to checking it out!
I made two puppets and can't wait to share them with you soon.
Awesome!
u've gotta great energy
I am actualy makeing my own puppet. i used your viedeos as a help. i am happy if i can shouw you it once its done :D
Dude I’m on it... I’m almost there! “El Chicano and the handicapped fisherman! Old Mexico’s most wanted
For those of you who not yet seen it, the wonderfully creative Kaufman film, "Being John Malkovich", has a strong thread of puppetry throughout - the making and performing of stringed puppets / marionettes is amazing.
You are the best at puppetery. Thanks for the tips I SUBSCRIBED YOU. Your just so good.
Happy to help! Can’t wait to see what you do!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I've been making improvements with my show - focusing on comedic timing and scripts. This information had some important reminders for me!
Happy to help!
Please do a video about developing the personality of the puppet. PLEASE
Yes, please 🙏 show me how you give your puppets a personality
Coming soon!
I had to come back to this video because I haven’t picked up my puppets in awhile and when I did they felt stiff. 2:47 We do! Thanks for acknowledgment 👍.
Thanks! I’m a budding puppeteer and i need all i can get to learn how to improve. This really helped, thanks a lot!
Doing Avenue Q in October. Got here just in time
This is perfect to help with my chicken puppet
Thanks
I just found your channel and i absolutely love it. Thank you for existing
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks so much!!!
I've got a UA-cam channel that I am working on, based on puppets. Thank you for the inspirations, ideas, and motivations. Please keep it up.
Awesome!!! So glad to hear it!
I want to start puppeteering and your advice is definitely helpful! I'll check out your podcast. I'm also an animator so what you said in the middle definitely made me feel more confident
This has helped me in so many ways
Thanks Adam 😆
Adam, thank you. I have had a life long passion for puppetry and only preforming in-person and virtual gigs for only 2 years. I find your advice on lip sync helpful. I have been very confused on how I express my puppets when they are angry or excited and found using each syllable in those cases hard. It's good to know I don't have to lip sync every syllable when there is a strong expression of emotion.
I've been using puppets for a while, this was good, nice tips
Thanks! I appreciate that!!!
I had some extra supplies left over from my Mardi Gras costume and a pack of googley eyes so naturally after week 7 of being at home I made my first puppet. After building two from my imagination I figured it was time to learn some tips and found this cornucopia. Never thought about the craft until the other day and now I’m using this time to learn and you, sir, explain it well. It’s so fun! I’ve made 4 so far and they are so beautifully rudimentary, can’t wait to see what’s next for me in my puppet progress.
And I subscribed to this channel and that’s a rarity.
I’m a Backline technician working live concerts. So, probably going to have a lot of time to work on this.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see it!
Adam Kreutinger I’m off social media for a few days. Where can I show you what I made? Like an email?
Mr. Kreutinger, you are a "foam" father of our very first puppet Boris from our UA-cam comedy puppet show.
Hope you'll like him.
Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks so much! Can’t wIt to check it out!
Thank you!!!
Happy to help!
I wish this was around when I used to do Puppetry on livevideo.com (its gone). Lots of good info here.
Thanks so much!!!!
I am working on someday running my own studio that will create video games, animated shows and puppet shows
I have replayed the clip of Arlo going "Weeee!" so many times
My buddy Caleb wanted to let you know he’s excited for part 2! He’s an aspiring puppeteer.
Awesome!!
Please anser
I am so inspired by you so thank you
Thanks so much!!! I can’t wait to see what you do!
This is great! Its hard for me to find good videos on puppetry that apply to all ages. UwU
Happy to help!
Awesome
I would love to buy a full puppet . I don’t have a lot and the Canadian dollar has fallen . I have a really nice dragon and 2 kid toy puppets. This makes a lot of sense I have a short play list. Draco the dragon , just starting and learning but very seriously wanting to do a lot more .
Hey! Here is a video on making a full body puppet. Hope this helps. ua-cam.com/play/PLeYjVOvIFYr-eMN0D65L70QkL4x26xCXx.html
Well done
Hi Adam! I'm K, and you're one of the big reasons i got into puppetry. I have a puppet named Zingo and I'm getting much better, thanks to you! Keep up the good work.
Your channel is great and so is your website! This was fantastic! Thanks so much for this! I’d love the see a part 2! Thanks for the link for the magazine. Will definitely check that out. My monster Gilly isn’t exactly a puppet (he’s a plush) but we have a great time and he’s really loved💚💙😊
Wow, thanks so much!
Great info...tk u so much.
Hahahaha!!! My 6 year old grandson Simon wants to be a puppeteer and I found your videos to help him see what it’s all about! He was saying “I know you’re a puppet” in the previous message 😂😂. Anyway, thanks for all the informative videos and for helping out the creative minds out there that aren’t glued to devices and have a true desire to be a part of something.... well, REAL!!
As an animator who wants to try a new angle to up my reference game? You got me.
I’m about to start to practice puppeteering to create a UA-cam channel, I really appreciate these videos
Very helpful tips
What's the best position for when using a low table? Sitting? laying down? Should the arm with straight up or bent? I'm having trouble finding the right position
