Puppet Vision

A website dedicated to current events in the puppet industry has done a write up on The Wippets!!!
See it here.
Andrew Young the mastermind behind Puppet Vision, gave me some good feedback on our acts and offered us helpful links to visit about staging and filming.
I'm hoping sometime next year he can make it here in town to give a seminar on video puppetry.
