Okay, Here it is. I'm 90% satisfied, I wanted more time to perfect shots and try some new things,maybe build something to hide behind. Right now I stand to the side and stretch.  Very awkward. Due to home construction and spending time with a friend who finally lost her battle with breast cancer I got behind. I wanted to release in September.  Needless to say it was somewhat forced because my heart was not in it, but once started, the charactors came alive and I got hooked into the editing and production.  For the first time I followed a script that I wrote months ago.  Adding Charlie McCarthy and Lamb chop at the beginning was a last minute idea. (I stole,borrowed Lamb from someones cubicle at work. LOL!) .

Yay!

Mr Mcfarlen, what a case. My father inlaw is similar.. he's only 80 though, and worked in the oil refinery businessin instead of coal (lower level management) his 40 year old gold digger hasn't fallen down the stairs yet. So both my Father inlaw and  Mr Mcfarlen are still going strong!

I tried something new, quite by accident. For the music segment of my show I look for alternative backgrounds. As I was setting up, I had the camera in a doorway with lights on the puppets. Since the room behind them was dark, it made a nice black background. With the contrast of the bright puppets with yellow hair it looked great, so I kept that. Well my goal is to post at least one episode of Patsy's show each month.  I missed September but currently October has been up since the middle of the month.  November is finished and ready to post on or near the first.  Last year they ran from 3 to 6 minutes long.  Looks like 6 minutes is about where I will stay.  Leaves time for a commentary, a quick guest, and a song. Last year I did a life tip segment.  That's gone. Replaced by Klooky. I hope I can deliver the 10 episode goal.  Unless I grow a massive following(lol!) I will probably try something else after that. As many of you know it is a lot of work to film and produce even a small film. Fun but time consuming. episode 2 is about "bullying". Don't expect it to be too serious though.

Cool The Director. Looking forward to the next episode.  Today we finished all my exterior shots (for Lord of the Donuts) with my beard as is... now a cave segment... and then Rudolf the  WHITE.. to end the movie.. then... drum roll... the beard comes off ....and then lots of puppet stuff. yay. By the way The Director, is  Mr McFarlen still around?   My  F-inlaw still is.

He is still alive and if Patsy needs an old mans wisdom he may return.  BTW how do you post photos on here.

You can post pictures by clicking on the little image icon in the posting screen. It puts what is called bbcode in the post for an image that looks like this: [img] past the url to your image between these tags  [/img]  You see just the tags not what I just typed between them you just need to make sure the URL is between the opening an closing tag. Here is a link to the help page that explains bbcode/ bulletin board code a bit more.

If you have images in the Gallery here you can use the Gallery Image link below the posting box to insert them. When you click on that it pops up a new window that let's you navigate to your album and then it inserts the code to them for you.

Working on making both of these much easier to do so that when you click on the image icon you can paste a url and then it previews it for you so you can make sure it is the right one the Gallery Image interface will be a bit easier also.  Till then you have to work a bit harder, sorry.

Thanks I didn't understand any of that.  I'll wait till it gets easier. LOL! I did not see a link?

Opps that was my mistake. I forgot to post the link to the help page.    http://puppetsandstuff.com/community/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbc

Maybe that will help some.

There's a help page!
