video-taping part 1

So today we videotaped Falstaff, so that we could all watch him tomorrow. When you do body puppetry for tv (such as big bird), there is a tv inside the puppet, so that the puppeteer can see what they look like on the outside (even if it's backwards) – well, that falls slightly out of what we can afford, so this is the next best thing – we’ll spend a good chunk of tomorrow reviewing the tape.

It will also be great for Ron, as he’s never seen what he looks like, he can only see out of the mouth, and he often doesn't know what his arms are doing, as they're worked by other puppetteers. Should be quite a trip.
