What does Fluff & Such do?
Puppetry Videos
After discovering the Funday Pawpet Show, Nonsanity jumped at the
chance to do some puppetry performances and video directing/editing. He dragged his wife and
friends in on the project, since his time was limited due to work, and besides... The more
hands (and heads), the better. Though now he mainly creates his material alone in a padded room.
(Okay, it's not padded, exactly... There's just a green cloth tacked to the wall.)
After each video is aired on FPS, it will become available here for immediate viewing (flash) and personal download (mp4).
All the files are now in Quicktime 6 or higher format. You must have at least Quicktime 6 installed
on your machine. It's available for free from Apple
for most computers. (It's Q6's native MPEG-4 support that keeps the quality high and the file
sizes low.)
All of the videos were made on one or more Apple Macintosh
computers, most with Adobe After Effects.
