I'm sure you have it in the bag now, but how about following the Trekkie Monster twitter account? They have a good example of streamlining tweets to be very specific about things.

This isn't mine (I've not yet got as far as posting videos with puppets yet) but a friend and his wife do a few videos:

Re: Any filming tips? Posted in Any filming tips? on Jun 19, 2014
Are you filming alone? If so, get someone to help you out!

A good friend (that has stopped finding your puppets cute, or has got over that you're weird for "playing with dolls") who can be there to direct you and adjust the camcorder accordingly would be a great way to do this.

That's my only advice, as I don't think anyone else has mentioned this already.  I spent my youth filming with puppets (fortunately footage only exists on an old Hi8 tape that no one will ever see again!!) with friends and their input has been very helpful in setting up shot and ensuring each other didn't slip into shot etc.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing Jay. And thanks for the compliment Shawn!

This is definitely a learning curve for me, never done a crowdfund before, so what you see is weeks and months of me researching how best to do this thing. Shame no one has donated yet, but this happens.

Just to clarify for everyone that is reading, this project is helping to raise money for charity. 20% of all the donations made to the film will be paid to the UK charity Children in Need. Find out more by going to www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey
