Is it weird that puppets scare me especially shadow puppets?

[Mr5000k]

[cirfia]

[Disjecta71]

Just genius : D

[jarofcarrot]

cool, i love shadow puppets,

i made a mad one there a while ago but shot it with a disco light instead ov normal white light so it came out all trippy and insane looking :)

[neverforeverkate]

May I use this as inspiration. I too am creating a shadow puppet show.

[Dimvids]

Go right ahead!

I hope you post your video. Id like to see it.

This reminds me of the players' dumb-show in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead (the movie).

[iGrowl]

I feel rather depressed now... o.e

[ervi2475]

whats up with the music?

[yippedoodah]

Isn't it freaky!?

[yippedoodah]

This was quite interesting. It was creepy and magnificent!!! bravo!

[xsixstring]

Thanks for the nightmares!

[objectsdart]

I really like the way Hansel picks pieces off the house and eats them. Let's face it-this is a scary story and your version does justice to the creepy and macabre elements of it. I love the music!

[sonicrocks06]

i agree with spooferpoofer. this is kinda scary..o_o

[spooferpoofer]

the puppets look really distubing

its also really creepy and the music

is so scary to so simon i think you are

a liitle distrubed

[danasy87]

na ich denk auch das ist irgendwie creepy. nicht mein geschmack

[DarkBridget]

creepy, disturbing...that is the point of Hansel and Gretel. This was dark art. 5 stars on this vid.

[shallowcoat]

Excellent! I'm just getting into shadow puppets and this has given me a lot of inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Simon

[LenzBorg]

Art sucks! ;-)

Now seriously, a very impressive piece. This needs to be seen live and in person for full effect, I guess. Have you ever performed it in front of an audience?

[DeR88LaNDseR]

boah das is sau geil^^ macht spaß da zu zuschauen!

war bestimmt viel arbeit!

weiter so ;)

[UFOIST]

I forgot to mention the superb music and sound FX.

You are a great team and you should expand on this through arts funding. Best wishes.

[UFOIST]

That was very good indeed. As a professional puppeteer with many years experience using shadow puppets I'd like to offer you a tip. Buy 2x500 watt flood lights from any DIY store and an 8ft x 4ft sheet of STUCCO ALUMINIUM. In the booth rig the two lights pointing towards backstage, then mount the stucco alli onto a stand. The idea is that the light hits the stucco and reflects through the screen appearing all even. It's worked very well fo us.

[alternativeblueprint]

utterly inspiring. Nice 1 !

[Blakefe]

tripy

[TheCommentWolf]

Creepy. xD Jim weiner, nice.

[Dimvids]

Hi, Yes. I made the puppets and stage. A musician friend did the music (mostly original). We did the performance with a third friend.

[MelissaDotBartley]

This looks like a pretty grim and dark version of Hansel and Gretel. Is this the original music? Are you the puppeteer, Dimvids?

[kvintessents]

The original fairytale of Hansel and Gretel is meant to be dark and grim. Disney made it family friendly.

[MelissaDotBartley]

Is there actually a Disney version of Hansel and Gretel?
