Our Video Puppetry 101 program has been presented in a wide variety of venues and formats, including schools, puppetry festivals and professional studios. Past participants have included everyone from students and beginners to working professional performers.
Participants are introduced to essential puppeteering techniques—such as lip sync, eye focus, and expressive movement—while exploring how puppeteers work with monitors and collaborate in front of, behind the camera and underneath the camera to bring characters to life on screen.
