As soon as you know the price it will cost Andrew, please let us know. I would love to be a part of this workshop, even if during a week I will be into moving madness. I will surely find a way to get everything to work out.

You mentioned that there will be online live video classes................. will these be archived for viewing just in case someone misses a class?

(I'm trying to think of questions that others might ask prior to you launching the live broadcast.)

Will the cost of this class be a package deal or can you purchase just the classes you are interested in viewing?

If I'm understanding things correctly. I will purchase a membership that entitles me to the online class, access to video classes, pdf tutorials and notes, and online Q & Answers that will help me thur the process of building a puppet.

Will your broadcast work like Skype or Blogtv ?

Thanks Andrew

Billy

Those are a good question, Mr. Fuller

Billy, you're right...you're essentially purchasing a membership. It includes:

  • Nine video tutorials and ebooks/pdfs (one per week)
  • Access to the private forum where everything will be discussed, critiqued and expanded upon
  • Access to the weekly live video chats. I'm going to primarily use these to do follow-up, answer questions and demonstrate anything that isn't clear from the videos and pdfs. All the live chats will be archived and available to everybody in the course. I'm most likely going to be using a private system for the video chats that is built in to the forum, but it works just like BlogTV.
  • I'll also be available for ongoing feedback and help with everything over the nine weeks.

The course will be just a package and an individual video/pdf would probably only be of limited value because what the course is really about is a process and how to think about puppet design and construction. I'm not really trying to teach a specific method of puppet construction, but instead a process of how to first design a puppet, choose the best methods and materials and then finally once all of those decisions are made the specific technical skills or processes you need to actually build it. Does that make sense?

There will be lots of tutorials and hands-on "tips and tricks", but in a lot of ways the technical skills - "how to make an eye", "how to cut foam", etc. - are really the easiest part of the whole process. The course focuses on foam puppets, but you could probably go build a marionette or an animatronic character and 60-70% of the information would be relevant to that too.

I'm going to be posting a free lesson online so everyone can get a better understanding of the course.

Awesome. I am currently working on 3 marionettes and your class will help me greatly about how to design them so that they will be perfect. The only thing missing for me is the price.

Sweet, cant wait to see it!

Thanks Andrew................. So I guess all that is needed now is a price and what time to be there. What methods of payment will you be accepting ? Thank You for taking the time to answer questions.

Cool!
Re: Puppet Building 101: Nine Week Online Puppet Building Workshop Posted by Na on May 31, 2009
D'oh! It looks like this will be too soon for me and will be right in the middle of my trip to Atlanta. I think I'll miss out on this one: but I will definitely definitely definitely be interested in doing the next one (depending on cost of course!)
