Very good video version of the famous foam book :), July 11, 2002
This review is from: The Foam Book Video- Three Piece Head Method: A Step by Step Guide to Building Polyfoam Puppets [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Foam Book Video: Three Piece Head Method is a great companion or stand alone to the printed version. It covers the three piece head section of the foam book itself. The material is presented in a clear and consise manner with tips and tricks thrown in to make your puppet creating life much easier. If I had one gripe it is that some of the more advanced features aren't quite as detailed as they could have been but it is still a great video with or without the printed version of the book.

Very Constructive Construction, July 28, 2003
This review is from: The Foam Book Video- Three Piece Head Method: A Step by Step Guide to Building Polyfoam Puppets [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you are longing to build your own foam puppet, this video will save you untold hours of frustration. Drew Allison is not only an excellent puppet builder but a gifted teacher as well. Begins with a complete display of materials needed and proceeds with clear step by step procedures from head to toe - literally. Don't forget to check out the "Nip and Tuck" video as well. Both are fun to watch as well as instructive. Would love to see these videos on DVD.

Thanks Grey Seal!, March 3, 2006
This review is from: The Foam Book Video- Three Piece Head Method: A Step by Step Guide to Building Polyfoam Puppets [VHS] (VHS Tape)
As mentioned in previous reviews, the "3 peice head" video is the same as the "Nip and Tuck" video, save for the different approaches to building the head. However, I would like to add that the "3 Peice Head" video does have a bit more information when it comes to covering your puppet with other materials, such as fur, felt, or fleece...where as the "nip and tuck" video doesn't go into this in detail (though they do talk about painting the foam, etc).
If you're just starting out (as I am, though I bought both videos and the book)...you may want the 3-peice head video first, because there's more of a formula to follow. Also, if you're looking to make Muppet-esque puppets, I think this video lends itself more to that style. Both videos are great, however, and I highly recommend them. The book is also nice to have when you need easy access to information, but don't want to spend the time fast-forwarding and rewinding the video.
