Video of Pacino the Wolf now online!
16 years ago
Things are looking productive. I've been nominated by Blind Summit to apply for the Art Foundations fellowship in Puppetry. I don't fancy my chances but mearly being nominated has boosted my confidence a lot.
To enter I must have at least three samples of my work on film. The way they word it in the application makes it sound like they expect these to be taken from actual stage perfomances or proper film pieces. However I only have the music video that matches up to that criterior.
So to solve things I asked some very fine puppeteers to do a workshop with my puppets in order to give me a sporting chance at the prize. If I were to win, I would have enough money to build my own workshop, buy a much needed band saw and perhaps even leave enough money for me to pursue my own work.
I'm not sure the soundtrack is appropriate, but this is our Pacino the wolf workshop:

Love to hear your opinions.

Good luck, he is an excellent looking puppet and I do hope you succeed!
IMHO, if you fear that it might detract, you could offer a 'soundtrack less' version that has only the natural sounds-- but to be honest, you have puppetteers, not the actual voices of the characters. Ergo, unless you had that voice, I can't see any reason to use original sound.
beautiful work, really beautiful - the joints, the fur, everything
