    I love how Adam pointed out that once you put personality into a puppet you forget about the puppeteer, seemingly forgetting that he subconsciously did it himself earlier in the video when he couldn't help himself and said hello to the bug.

      It's kinda like the puppet randy felt face, it's basically a puppet controlled by a comedian.

      But here he's doing it like the puppet has a mind on its own, and even formulates answers like the puppet and him are 2 different beings

    So the crazy thing about Barnaby is how young he is, and how intelligent, ingenious, and innovative he is, at such a young age! If you watch his videos, it's striking how well the editing is done; the original music that he makes himself, etc. He literally does it all, and I'm just tickled at the idea that he's legitimately just getting started! Watching these two talk to each other makes me think that Barnaby is a young Adam Savage in the making. I hope you feature him more!

      Imagine stepping into a closet where Muppets like Kermit are stored. Characters always full of life and energy laying dead, or hanging like skins laid out to dry. people who have seen the Muppets puppets not being used have always described it as creepy and off putting because your brain makes them a person, gives them life when they never had any and you don't think twice about this cloth person not being a living creature, same with his hand puppets. Dabchick laying out on the table is a bit creepy when I'm used to seeing him in videos emoting and moving

    The most amazing thing about puppeteers and ventriloquists is, if they're good, the puppets take on such a life of it's own that you no longer see them as puppets. Almost like the puppeteer has a split personality and the secondary personality exists in the puppet rather than through the puppet.

      Here's the thing that startled me about this: given something that Barnaby said early on in the piece, I feel that unequivocally celebrating him is a little hypocritical on Adam's part, and here's why: Barnaby's trying to patent the ENTIRE IDEA of this kind of hand/accessory puppet (search "patent WO2017207990A3").
      Obviously, no one should be able to copy his characters, nor sell them. But if that patent is awarded, no one else (including Adam) will be able to make ANY kind of two hand/costume puppet without being in violation of said patent. That seems to me like "...treating something as a scarce commodity, when it is not scarce at all" (from Adam’s talk at the 2018 Bay Area Maker Faire on May 23).
      Maybe that's not the intent, but that's what it seems like to me.

    That plastic btw, if it's what I think, is polycaprolactone. It's sold under all sorts of names, the stuff I've used is called Polymorph but I think it's all the same material so brand doesn't matter.
    I think the reason it's not a huge thing with makers is it's not patented so nobody can make much money selling it, so there's not much advertising/marketing. The plus side of that is, it's pretty cheap!
    I love the stuff, so versatile and easy to work with. Seriously, half the time people 3D print something they'd be better off sculpting it from PCL. Quicker, easier, and stronger.

      Wikipedia says trade names include "Plastimake, NiftyFix, Protoplastic, InstaMorph, Polymorph, Shapelock, ReMoldables, Plastdude or TechTack"

      I had the stuff lying around for over a year and never realised that dabchick was made from it. I agree, especially with the 3D printing sidenote ;) Amazing stuff that really comes in handy at every crafting occasion.

      Polymorph! Oh wow. I have a bag of that stuff from the 90's from a "robotics kit" that was sold by association with a robotics challenge TV show on BBC (not Robot Wars, the other one). Wonder where I left it...

    As a child, my hands were the most expressive toys I had. They we're civilians, heros, animals and monsters all in one. It's pretty great to see this guy take it ten steps further like this.

    I love the fact that Adam has this inner child in himself, like 90% of his personality is that child trapped inside the physicality of a full grown man.

      I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that, also the fact that the thought that came to me was "THERE CAN ONLY BE OOOONE!" XD!

    The puppets are so cute and they really do look like a completely different organism like adam said

    I just watched Barnaby's puppet work in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I recognised his style as the puppet show Gelfling within a puppet show in Episode 7.
