Swedish Tony Posted by TeamHansson on Mar 25, 2012
Hi.

I'm a guy from Sweden who loves making videos for the web ect.
A few week ago I thought it would be fun to make a muppet-puppet
creature for my videos.
10 years ago I worked on a Swedish childrens show on TV that involved
muppets so I got the basic design-idea from there.

I have no skills whats so ever in building stuff or sewing, just a big
will to create =)
So I did a muppet the best I could.
I post a couple of pictures of him and the first video wich is a work out video.
In the video there is some slack from his cheek/neck that I have fixed now.
Please give me (not to harsh) critique if you have the time =)
The acting/voice was really hard for a guy as me who likes to be behind the camera.

Hi there! I think your puppet is really funny. The eyes are a bit out of focus, which makes him look a bit confused- that only adds to the funnyness. He is great for a first shot!

Not bad! I think your voice for the puppet is pretty good. You'll only get better with practice. Welcome to Puppets and Stuff!

Welcome! Your voice acting was good. You have created a good and funny personality for your character.

Thanks for welcomeing me and the support. After all, this is my first try.
As you all know you're never completed with your puppet.
I feel that I need some sort of foam to fill out his bodie. Now it is
kind of just hanging there.

And then there is tons of clothes depending on what he will be doing in the different videos. Buying and remaking the clothes is more fun then I first tought =)

Yep even a foam tube inside for the body would help fill him out. I actually make foam bodies kind of based on the same type of pattern you would use for a shirt without sleeves.  Think of the shape you have if you lay out a t-shirt flat on the table. If you cut two pieces of foam that shape and then glued the sides and the shoulders  you would have a hollow body shape that would work well.
