A Puppet A Day
Our own Jon Bristol has set up a new blog. It's an interesting challenge, and we're looking forward to seeing what happens...
It's called A Puppet A Day. It began on October 20, and what he has set out to do is post a puppet every single day. Starting with the puppets he has already made and going for as long as possible without missing a day (for atleast a year). This will be fun for Elmwood Productions, because we can see some old friends pop up, and from an artistic standpoint it'll be fun to see the evolution of Jon as a puppet builder. He says that they are going up in the order of "whatever", which we think means he's posting whatever one fancies him that day. As of now we've gotten to see Plink, Otis and a newbie called Joanie... According to Jon when the time comes he misses a day that means he's "run out" and it will kinda stop. At that time he'll continue to post new puppets as they are made, but he will also use it to showcase puppets he has collected and images of puppets from around the world...
Good Luck Jon! We look forward to seeing the madness!
So go and check it out... A Puppet A Day!

Jesters...
Jon Here....
For two years in a row Elmwood Productions was invited to screen films at Jestercon.
Jestercon is a yearly meeting, game day, and awards night for a troupe of role players (the gaming kind, not the kinky kind... OK, maybe some of both) who play the game Dark Ages: Vampire.
A few members of the Elmwood crew are regulars at this game and got me a hook up so we could show our flicks. So we were invited in 2006 to show the first Steve The Vampire flick, and we were invited back a year later to show that and the next three also, and some of the Jesters were even in one of the flicks, thanks for the help!
This year was slow in the land of Steve the Vampire and the work we've done doesn't really fit into the mold of there celebration, but since they have been nice to us and let us pimp out our films for two years I wanna say thanks...
So... THANKS!
Also last year Steve and his mom made an appearance and got to harass the gamers. We had a blast being there, and maybe next time around in 2009 we'll be back to bite their heads off with even more Steve stuff!!! I must say I had a blast both years. The first time I was suffering from some strange illness that stole my voice, so I let Jim do the speaking, and the second time we got Steve in on the action of presenting awards. Really great time, really great people! I've gotten to know a few of them over the past couple years, and I can say I always have a blast with them!
Here are some pictures for the 2007 event!
Although we won't be there this year the event is this coming weekend and I hope fun is had by all!!!
And for the record: Yes, I did steal these pics from the Jesters site!

This week Mr. Universe and his buddy Don discuss the need for two different movie versions of "Dune"

This week we've got some more "Elmwood Classic" for ya! We jumped in the time machine to find this one, it's one of the very first things we ever shot as a group...
And now a commercial interruption... Do your eyes stink?
Jon says... "Personally I love watching these old clips... No way are they anywhere near as good as 'Steve The Vampire" or our other shorts, but it brings back some awesome memories. I had no idea how to make puppets (I'm sure you can tell by looking at them) and we as a group had no idea how to shoot them too! But it all came out pretty good, and funny. And that's all I really wanted to do; make people laugh."
This Labor Day weekend join Jerry Lewis when you can over the Sunday nite and Monday time frame and support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
So we hear cures for many of the forms of Muscular Dystrophy are just around a few more corners, and every little bit helps.
We've been giving you free short films to laugh at since January...
Now it's time to pay up, by making a donation to the MDA...
Thanks,
Jon and the crew
