Puppetry, when done well, is an amazing ministry tool. There are few things that can captivate an audience better than a puppet performed with excellence; and as Christian puppeteers, we should strive for nothing less than our best. That’s why I’m making what I call the “Puppetry Excellence” series.
These puppetry training videos are designed to help you be the best puppeteer that you can be. And help you take your puppetry to the next level, whether you are just starting out, or you’ve been at this a long time.
“Whatever you do, work at with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” – Colossians 2:23a
We have just started this series, so we currently have two videos:
“Puppetry Excellence: #1 The Fundamentals” is the first video in my “Puppetry Excellence” series, and it lays the foundation for for all of the training videos to come. In this video I will teach you many simple techniques that you can use to breathe life into your puppet, but more importantly I will teach you the three fundamental illusions of puppetry. The more you can understand and master these three illusions, what I call the “Three ‘Sees’ of Puppetry,” the better your puppetry will become.
“Puppetry Excellence: #1 The Fundamentals” – $30
The “Puppetry Crash Course” is a condensed version of “Puppetry Excellence: #1 The Fundamentals” and teaches only the techniques, and none of the theory behind them. It’s also less than 10 minutes long, making it a great training tool for a volunteer who has very little time to learn how to use a puppet. After watching this short video, you will have the tools you need to perform your very first puppet show.
