I am going to put in a plug here for the registrar I use since they are affordable and do not charge extra for "hiding" your info.  http://shop.whois.com/  Some companies do charge extra for it.

Not bad for a first try at it.  Everyone deals with keeping your head out the shot. In your case if you had worn a black stocking cap it would not have been as noticeable or maybe not even shown up.  If you start using green screen you can wear a green cap. You have to work on keeping the puppet up as high above your head as you can. Keep your body directly below the puppet. This is one reason that in film sets are often built so the puppeteers can stand and perform the puppet. That way you can walk with the puppet staying right under them. Need to build up those arm muscles. With your live hand puppet he has a big enough body that you could actually position the body between you and the camera to hide your head. Means you may not be able to see the flip monitor but if you can get an external monitor you can put it on the ground at your feet. I think having an external monitor would help in other cases also. If you are looking down at the monitor it is going to lower your head out of the shot.

They are all great! Do really like the wizards, but they all have qualities that make them really special. Don't be a stranger... love seeing your stuff!

Can you buy from Grainger? http://www.grainger.com/category/rubber/raw-materials/ecatalog/N-ay4  I know in the US they have warehouses locally but you can buy via catalog or their website.  Marine shops often sell it also. http://www.go2marine.com/product/52213F/rubber-gasket-material-by-the-square-foot.html?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=gb1&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=productfeed&utm_campaign=googleshopping&gclid=CJCe68ew7LwCFTBgMgodFXsA5A

What brand of contact cement are you using?  I've never really had any problem with gluing L-200 using Barge or even Weldwood. The only thing I can think is that you are not letting it set up long enough before you press the seams together.  Make sure you let it set at least 10 mins.

You can do what I call "burping"... I know it sounds funny... I apply contact cement to each surface the right away I press the together for a second or two the pull the apart. This creates a stringy mess but I think it helps to make sure each surface has good coverage.  Then let set up for 10 - 15 mins.

Well the biggest one out there that no one really knows about would be Vee Corp. http://www.vee.com/  I know that at least for the tour shows that Disney sends out they do all the body costumes for them. Not sure if they build for the parks or not.

Well I would say that the most important thing would be to make sure you do post the link to the campaign when you do mention it some place... seems you didn't do that here.   Might be best though to start a new thread about it.

I think he looks great. He is a good clean graphic I think. True you lose some of the detail when smaller. In fact the site here sizes down your image for display so you can kind of see what it will look like in small format and what is lost.

Na brings up some good points about being able to "fit" your logo in different formats. I do think that you could use this and the female version in say the graphics for the header of a website or on flyers and such but you also need something small and simple enough that can be on a business card or small add in print. Don't forget that you can mix and match so to speak. A couple good examples of this would be Pepsi, WalMart and McDonalds. Not only are their names part of their logo/brand but they also have a fairly simple graphic to represent them. Try a google image search of your favorite name brand product and you'll see examples of what I am talking about.

Yes I have felt that way before.  The more you do it though the easier it gets.  

Pretty cool! Being featured in a SuperBowl commercial is a pretty big thing for an independent business owner and the fact it is a puppeteer is really great.
