5.0 out of 5 stars Over 3 hours of introductory GOLD !!!, October 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Foam Book DVD (DVD)
This double disk set is a step-by-step goldmine for anyone wanting to start making Muppet-style puppets!

---If you have been making puppets for a while, this DVD set may not be a big help. But it may very well give you a few good tips you haven't thought of before. If you ARE experienced, I would suggest getting the printed version instead. (since you already know the basics)

---If you are a beginner, DO NOT MISS THIS DVD!! Buy this DVD set instead of the printed book. Actually watching the demos are MUCH more informative than a few pictures and explinations.

Ok, so I am a University art instructor and an experienced sculptor. But it is abundantly clear that this DVD set provides all the information and step-by-step demonstration ANYONE would need to start making puppets they can be proud of. The presenter, Drew (who's a bit quirky, but fun) gives a whole lot of very, very helpful tips throughout both DVDs.

These videos introduce the viewer to two different styles of puppet making.
1. The first is called the "Three Piece" method. This is a great method for people who like to plan their projects out beforehand. It is easy to yield relatively predictable results with this method and allows for multiple puppets to be made almost identically. This is a great benefit for anyone who is planning to perform the same puppet show over and over again (because a destroyed puppet can be replaced fairly easily).
2. The second method is by far my favorite, however. It is called the "Nip and Tuck" method. This is an excellent (and very exciting!) method for individuals who like to develop projects as they go. It is difficult to reproduce "Nip and Tuck" puppets, but they can be the most visually engaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant double dvd, September 3, 2009
This review is from: The Foam Book DVD (DVD)
I was really pleased with the 2 dvds.I never realised that I would get such clear detailed instructions for making puppets made of foam. The DVD came from USA and I was impressed by how quickly it arrived.
If you want to make foam puppets, muppet style, this is a must!

Both methods of foam head construction are covered here. Fantastic detail....I really think that anyone could build one of these puppets with no prior experience just from carefully studying these DVD's
