puppets and stuff

[wytchcroft]

so i'm going to turn Doctor of Locks
into a puppet show... and i'm wondering - does anyone know a good site for invented instruments?

i like the idea of music made from things lying around the house to fit the steampunk theme.


oh, and a big shout out to my aetheric sister puppetwych while i'm at it, big love to you pw!:)))

[stoshagownozad.livejournal.com]

I'll keep my fists tight for you and Doctor of Locks!

*looks around carefully... then whispers*

hey, Yu - a few years ago i made an animated film
and now (just recently) i met another animator...
if my powers of hypnosis are strong (heh heh) - perhaps something could be made for youtube???
maybe... maybe...

and don't forget - you were the inspiration!:)))

I've always wanted to learn Flash animation actually... hmmm... Of course, one must find the time :o/

hee hee! *evil tempting laugh* :))

[browncoat2x2]

Curse you and your evil tempting laugh!!

Done any character sketches??

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

i can't draw so well these days alas.

[browncoat2x2]

But you must have at least some idea of what they look like, no?

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

oh yeh sure but i'm happy for that change depending on the who, why and how - like, if someone drew them or modelled them or if it was shadow puppets or whatever. i don't need to impose *hammy voice* MY VISION!!!
LOL!!:))

[browncoat2x2]

Hmmmmm... you tempt me so!!! And I have precious little time for such temptations currently, arg! So frustrating!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

LOL! i need dr horrible fingers now!


(and some sleep! or a new keyboard!)

I dunno, the other version had a certain kinkiness to it *EG*

Re: (+typo hell)

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

Oh! ;))))

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

and i'm making the (initial) puppets by recycling broken toys.

[browncoat2x2]

*that* is too cool!!!

[worldof-wonders.livejournal.com]

That sounds awesome! post pics! I can't wait to see! I wish I could see it live.

You can make a panflute out of straws. just bend the bottoms up to seal them and tape them. You can tune them by length. then tape them together and you will have a panpipe. drinking straws, that is.

I will try to remember other things later. I once illustrated a book with impromptu but real instruments. I'll try to find it and post more (I might or might not be able to find it now.) for now that is one suggestion.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

hi!:)))

and that would be great - i've made one instrument so far, out of an old tv aerial. :)

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

i still love this. :))) maybe, in addition to puppets, you might consider adaptin it into a children's book -- ssort of like gaiman's "coroline." in any case, it's brilliant.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

in my dreams you sweet talker you!!!!:))))))

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

lol! i just know that i really like it, and if i do, so will others. it's witty and fun, and a relief from the free verse i write most of the time! :) crafting it into something potentially publishable seems worthwhile. hell, as it is it's fine, too. it's just that the gaiman book sprang to mind. i could envision it as a dark dr. seuss. :) (ala "i will not eat the poisoned ham! i will not eat it sam i am!" :)))

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

dark Dr Seus is EXACTLY what i was aiming for* - there's a copy of green eggs and ham on my wall right freakin' now!:))))))

*as i told some friends earlier today too!

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

that was my favorite book when i was a child. :)))

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

one of mine too!:))

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

can you tell the "g" is wonky on my laptop? :)

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

tempermental keyboards are where it's at!:)))))

[beshter.livejournal.com]

Eeenteresting puppet show.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

go puppets!!:)))

[browncoat2x2]

This would make an interesting puppet show!! And children's book as was suggested in another comment!

Percussion instruments are, of course, easiest...
You could make chimes from old copper pipe cut to differnt lengths... or a horn for that matter, or flute, or even a xylophone type thingy! Tha's some versatile pipe!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

a xylophone thing is a good idea - thanks!:))))
