Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey

I wrote a short review on "The Muppets" the other day and here's another wonderful puppet movie from last year. This time, however, it's a documentary about Kevin Clash, a puppeteer who, after having seen "The Muppet Show" and stuff like that on TV as a kid, knew exactly what he wanted to with his life. And needless to say his dream came true. Being a puppeteer is not easy and making puppet TV isn't easier. I mean, first you have to make a puppet, then you have to make clothes for it, a stage where it all will play, a script, you'll have to find a voice for it, you need songs and music, and on top of all that, you need to give the puppet its own life in form of movement. Fascinating. (7 out of 10)
