https://youtu.be/oI8xeCyKOPA Im pretty happy with it. I'd like to make a background of some kind and get a light or 2. I hope you enjoy!

Fun. Nice mouth articulation, particularly on the lion. A backdrop and lighting could make this much better, but it's pretty good for what it is. Nice work.

Love your puppets. The lion is really cute. Did you make these guys?

Thanks! Yes I made these puppets. The Lion is based off the glorified sock puppet and the dog is based on a Skooter pattern I found online.

Good Effort. I liked it. Nice puppets too. Maybe if you had reversed the shot to have the room's light behind the camera would have helped solve the 'backlighting' problem. Your camera seems to handle the light levels you have, just not shining at the camera. I think these two would look great in their own set. Do have a go!

It was lot's of fun to watch, good music. Try lowering the camera a smidge. I have the same issue often. Showing more neck without the person behind the puppet. Keep gowing.
BTW Shawn. I noticed when someone posts a youtube vid, I am not able to access it through youtube. I like to see what else folks have posted.

Good suggestion The Director. In general you have your camera at eye level to the puppets ... or level your camera to the shot you want , and referring to your monitor, put your puppet in your shot. (yes Jiggsup, you do seem to have your camera tilted a little upwards.) But cool.. lets see how your next one comes out

You mean you can't watch it here and have to go to Youtube to see it? Not seeing that issue on my end but I do know that the code used to display YouTube links is the older code. I need to get in and do some updating so it uses the new YT code. That may help.

Yes I can watch them here but it says you have the option of watching them on youtube. It doesn't appear to get you to their youtube sites anymore.

Well if you click on the little YouTube icon in the lower right of the play screen it should take you direct to the video on YouTube. At least that works for me.
