Richard Bradshaw: Shadow Puppeteer

[dhillareguy]

Nice work .

[Superstarseven]

Good god, what a bunch of non appreciative idiots commenting here.

[80himynameis]

Never mind any of the negative comments! This stuff is wonderful and truly creative! No special effects, no CGI or anything. Just some creativity and good clean humor! Well done!

[maxumum11]

[JasonRulezHalo]

This is not funny... And it seems that most people dont know, THESE ARE PUPPETS NOT HANDS.

[kurticusandfrexual21]

[thelouisfanclub]

so cuuute .. the hippo.. and the mouse

[gammypage]

Why is this considered so good? it's like something a highschool student would make for fun a beginner's class.

[apt2223]

Oh, and by the way... Jim Henson thought it was puppeteering. I think I'll take his word for it.

[apt2223]

Not sure why you don't think that use of shadow puppets is real puppeteering. I think it is brilliant.

[Mr08sasuke80]

thats not really puppeteering

[puppetsinmelbourne]

Apparently puppetry is only limited to Muppets and Avenue Q.

Sad that the general public don't realise just how diverse the field is.

*I'm a shadow puppeteer*

[TheKetPrincess]

I remember seeing this as a kid. I loved it :)

[Superstarseven]

@adlitam321 What? Your life? Yes, it is.

[napsta13]

For some reason this reminds me of the best cartoon out there.. Tom and jerry... For some reason i thought of that show when watching this..

[swicheezy]

its not funny...its just cute i guess, but its at least its a form of entertainment that isn't about sex or drugs or violence. Refreshing, really.

[yoshi2333]

I miss old classic stuff like this.

[iF3llOffaBr1dge]

[marniefry]

Nowhere near as impressive as the people who use their hands or bodies in other videos... this is just like cardboard cutouts attached to sticks wtf? lol

[hyperbrunette1111]

the mouse was so cute!!! shadow puppets are awesome XD luv it!

[kondal91]

ive seen this live! =D

[lucas1hayden2]

i dont understand wat was making the shapes

[napoleontak]

@lucas1hayden2 paper with strings probably. the strings were super thin so the shadow would be hard to see most likely

[feudiable]

@lucas1hayden2 there are two people behind the curtain. but they are so far away from the curtain that you cant see them or just very blurred. the shapes have to be very near to the curtain to see their edges.

[MissKattyWren]

@feudiable There is only one guy working the puppets, I saw his show two days ago.

[ratf8]

@lucas1hayden2 pupets

[cradleofdeath123]

@lucas1hayden2 they were paper puppets

[KristinaBarton]

[Gracie76028]

[Dralithian]

Your right, this is "Shadow puppets" :p

[GraceUnderPressure1]

Very cute video :)

[peanut0535]

To all of those people who say "get a life" tell that to yourself. If the video is THAT bad and lame then why are you taking time out of YOUR day to comment on it?

SERIOUSLY IM FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT.

[jkfremin]

Don't be a hypocrite ;)

[peanut0535]

I love the video, what are yu talking about?

[vashonislandguy]

wow people, get a life!

[7chris77]

hahahaha politics on a shadow puppet video?? hahahaaaa u people suck at life.. seriously.

losers.hahahhaha

[GunnerAli]

There's an easy way to answer the 9/11 question. .-. If anyone is REALLY interested, respond. If not, wither in curiosity :3

[djdgreen19]

wow. you know, this is just fucking youtube. anyone who takes shit seriously and argues and defaces the wall of a video has no life. you call americans fat, and we are, i love my fat, it's a primary prop in my comedy performances, (see videos) and i'd rather be fat and live in a country whose government lies to them about killing thousands of people in less than a half hour than some stupid bitch who harrasses people on the fucking internet.

viva la counter-clockwise toilet flushing!!!

[takaaw]

"Flushing direction

It is a commonly held misconception that when flushed, the water in a toilet bowl swirls one way if the toilet is north of the equator and the other way if south of the equator, due to the Coriolis effect. In reality, the direction that the water will take is determined by the geometry of the bowl and other factors, not the Coriolis effect."

And apart from that, France is on the same side as America.... :/

[bigfoot1000bc]

Why the hell is every one going on about the 9/11 thing it's a puppet show!! sorry puppetsnob about them it's a great video (I like the mouse) :)

[violet2048]

Oh stop! It's a puppet show not a god damned election debate. Get another post and get over yourselves.

[almostausername]

typical redneck americans, turning shadow puppet video's into 9/11 talk.

[Supermanx264]

You should watch the documentary "Loose Change". Certainly opened up some new ideas about what really went down. Facts so many people overlook/overlooked about the situation. But why the hell are there 9/11 comments on a shadow puppet show video. lol.

[zmander96]

what does that have to do with pupets demonboy and fushen

[Fushen1]

Just look at how ignorant you are, closing doors for other facts than them given to you by your government. It's sad really... How do you explain the time taken for the buildings to fall to be roughly 10sec -the same time it takes for a really heavy object to fall from the roof of wtc. How do you explain all the explosions or for that matter why bomb-sniffing dogs where abruptly removed from security 9/6 and on 9/8-9 there was a power down for 36h meaning no cams monitoring the inside. How?

[fittslickarna]

stfu, you dont know anything so shut your fucking mouth

[Fushen1]

wow, du bor i en koja på landet va? fjant.

[djdgreen19]

yeah yeah, the intelligent people are aware of the truth and all the lies we have been told and all of the test that prove 9/11 was an inside job, but it really doesn't have anything to do with this video.

[GunnerAli]

There's an easy way to answer the 9/11 question. .-. If anyone is REALLY interested, respond. If not, wither in curiosity :3

[Momsens123]

the mouse is sooo cute <3 ^^

[Fushen1]

Oh yeah really? What's up with all your tellie programs, are they just lying, giving off false images of how you are? Ricky Lake, Dr. Phil, I mean the shit you argue about is 98% pure supidity. When normal people on the streets get asked in "Jaywalk" about where Afganistan is, they seriously answer "It's some state in US, right?". Then we have 9/11, I mean how can all of you seriously believe that shit, you're so very ignorant. And the fact that most of you look like hippos. Retards all of you!

[kiwii07]

i don't look like a hippo.

[gabishmabi]

lol

finally. some sense!

love you kiwii07!!!

[WebcamMesser]

Stupid hippo

[TheHershinatior]

Oh God.

SHUT UP!

we don't need damn arguing on a fucking PUPPET SHOW.

Seriously.

lets end it.

America sucks. I agree, we are the most ignorant people and one of the least intelligent, we are wussies. We also need to stop meddling in other peoples problems.

O.k? Happy now? Good.

NOW SHUT UP!

[Fushen1]

Oh! *Applaud* thank you, you give me hope!

[curtisbrown99]

HA HA

[reference2me]

Funny Funny Funny Love it....

[moonsafari4]

call me a goose!

[jazzminegirl]

THAT WAS AMAZINGLY CUTE!!!!

I loved it!!

[Fushen1]

stupid fat american hippo!!

[km2435]

they're australian, stupid.

[Fushen1]

No, I meant you, you worthless pig.

[km2435]

because that makes so much sense.

[Fushen1]

since did fat american scumbags like you make sense?

[km2435]

again, not making sense.

[Fushen1]

wow, you're like a broken record... stupid american parrot... we could go -"STUPID" -"whut, i'm american i don't understand" -"STUPID" -"uuh, huh? whut come again?" -"STUPID" -"whaa no sense, no sense!" forever, still won't change the fact that you americans disgust me in the kind of way that you resemble hippos... the fact that you're proud over posessing the shape of a hippo is just confusing and enfuriating.

[Calynseba]

your just enjoy arguing don't you?

[Calynseba]

Sorry bout the 'your', i meant to type 'you'

[km2435]

be careful Calynseba, he might demoralize you.... via INTERNET!!

[Fushen1]

Really... I just enjoy stating the facts, otherwise yeah, you pretty much got me... there's a reason why they call me Fushen the Youtube-Fighter. And no, I won't forgive you, you dyslectic fool!

[ilikebeer]

To be honest, not one thing that you said was fact. Everything you said was the same stereotypical nonsense that ignorant 15 year old Mommas boys like you shit out their mouths day in and day out. And stop making up stupid nicknames for yourself. Whoever was the first person that called you "Dipshit", deserves an award for most accurate description ever! You can't change nicknames once they've been validated, Dipshit.

[ilikebeer]

Oops, I started a sentence with "and". Unleash your wrath upon me, oh fellow internetters!

[GunnerAli]

Moo! Okay, I unleashed MY wrath. Enjoy that :3 lmao.

[gabishmabi]

ilikebeer...i love you

lol

finally some sense in this otherwise shit-fueled petty arguement

[abrazea]

I felt so bad for the poor hippo. Dont worry you'll lose weight! =)

[nano7717]

LAMO!

[Fushen1]

LAUGHING ASS MY OFF?

[clearfox7]

LMAO=DYSLEXIA

[chrismartin313]

stupied breanna

[afrox]

I think I remember this from when I was little!

[GaaraLuva1994]

I remember going to scitech and these guys were there and they performed for my class!

[DittoFreak]

I remember these people came to my Primary School when I was a kid!

[lasff69]

It's cool!

Altough 01:24 you can tell that it's a puppet. XD

[Buttercup1991]

that "sand" are the strings of the hippo the hippo has to be held there somehow.

[helgidude]

made my giggle

[oXAshravXo]

AWW! poor hipo!!

[skinskinner]

at 1:20 to 1:26 there is stuff pouring out of the hippo.. what is it? sand? :S

[waffleman666]

those are the strings on the puppet

[coolgirl7146]

i dont think so it was like pouring!

[stevey226]

It's the shaddow of the sticks

[KAPOWWWWWWW]

I think he was bleeding? Poor thing

[kakarot197]

nah those where the strings to make him move

[Zoggles2]

yeah, like the ummm, rods..

[madbadadd]

every1 listen up...you are all wrong..the puppeteer use rods sometimes for extra contol..that 'pouring' stuff is atually the shadow of the rods at funny angle..i did shadow puppeteing for a while. hope this helped .

[nano7717]

who cares...thats beside the point. Its cute.

[Funnychicks89]

you know this was the same puppet show on the muppets

[4TTOMMYKERR]

poor hippo xD

[Elmio2007]

yep poor hippo ;)
