four three good morning boys are gross my name is and today i'm with teach you a little bit about puppets i'm going to create my own puppet and bring it to life on my way i'm going to be took a few public tears about how they create their puppets and how they make the magic happen let's see my name is gordon smith or in my in my day job my professional job i am a prop builder i make props and special effects for television commercials and still photography there seems to be a thing where p tears have love puppets since they were kids and they just get into it that's kind of the what happened with me you know this kind of thing if i guess they only came along later in life when i hit my midlife crisis and decided to start a puppet show i developed along with some friends a web show called transylvania television it's about all it's all puppets it's for grownups it's not for kids and it's all about the vampire who starts a t yeah just watching sesame street and just being totally enthralled with little grover and the monsters all those characters publisher is not dead it's just sort of been in this odd transitional state most difficult part of acting the puppet getting used to doing everything backwards because of the way that the camera sees it isn't the way that you see it and so you're having to hide you know yourself underneath the table when you have your hand up here and can't lean looking up here at your puppet to see what it's doing you have to look at this film on your down here which is actually the opposite of what they're doing on the camera so getting used to that kind of like opposite world it's a lot of practice you're worried about trying to keep people's arms and heads and things out of the shot which is is not very easy to do and it also adds an additional technical challenge because everything tends to be four or five feet off the ground so your camera has to be that high you're not doing it blind you always have a lot of dirt that you can see exactly what the camera is seeing so you know what your puppet looks like on screen and that's from the very beginning when you drop a pencil sketch of what you think this character is going to be like and you start developing now all the way out to when you put it on and you give it a performance i really i do i don't see a separation anywhere ira is ari when i found out that six percent of the people in the united states i read terry and i tried to be one myself now here's my video log on how that turned  on my travels all over the country so i think they're a form of expression for a lot of people because they thought them apart even like in the tattoo community they can all be you can be completely different than the other person me it was a great opportunity for me to believe in myself there's tons of kids that are really creative and all kinds of different things and and i think older generation and your peers as well really need to call that out and  my name is eric carter and i'm a licensed cosmetologist which means i do here makeup and i can also give you information in regards to your s as far as fashion the world of fashion it all kind of links together because it's all about expressing yourself and one's creativity and just like a nice fashion designer gets creative with her clothing or his clothing so does a stylist when we're doing here we have to be real creative you are going to be dramatic you're going to be subtle you're going to be you're doing natural and it all ties together because it's all about getting the job done it's one of my passions i love my people feel good about themselves and i think when you get your hair done it opens another enter you at five zero earlier i had on black pants but my hair are really push and push and you know new concepts of ways to dress one sow i think it's always evolving there's always ideas that you can get from the past and the history in fashion industry where i think their inspiration can be from anywhere and you know it can be from just colors in the changing in the seasons like in fall a lot of red oranges you might see that bikes over in the north minneapolis close to where they live actually at city view elementary school after serving many apples police officer jason anderson in a state trooper saw the young men biking around says and shooting him and so what it showed after math was that family was shot in the back three times and then on the ground five more times the police department jason anderson  had had maintained their round and saying that the reason why they initially stopped in pursuit family was because they said that he had a gun anderson said that he was shooting family because he his life was a evidence on it no kind of trace evidence or no blood no fiber no fingerprints no smudge is on the gun and the gun also wasn't turned into evidence until seventy two hours after he after he died and moreover the gun that was found next to his body was stolen in two thousand and four and all the previous owner testified that it had been recovered by the police and had been held in police custody up until then which finding a path to justice for their son and so it went all the way to the supreme court in the supreme court made a decision not to hear the case  hopefully one day this these instances what will not be happening anymore when you when a situation like this doesn't get justice you know there's a sense of you know how can we succeed  the court system eventually or whether it's through people and community members individuals feeling empowered and saying you know we've had enough and and demanding for some some real change in terms of the way only it's incredibly important to keep fighting we will not be silent to sirens or cyanide in our side of the city because it's not injustice for just us there's a whole history of conspiracy stand with me because the next tragedy to being your family so we suffocate from this case skeptical the breed and the only justice will give us the accident to be treated like human beings in the memory of injustice dedicated to the family of family and all victims of police brutality rest in peace undone we're always building always adding always growing the water of the mighty mississippi roars through our veins constant strong for the first episode from this year i like the studio shooting of the second episode think that's pretty funny destinator are two and i were interviewing for i believe it was destiny's piece and we were asking people like about the food they'd eaten and there was this i mean it was a sad day everyone was telling us about all this good food we were getting so hungry and it was really fun just to be like bonding with people over food i guess and us to really be a part of something bigger than i was seeing the crew come together like at the beginning of the year everyone's kind of new and not everyone knows each other and i think that it's been really cool to see like over time people really working together as like a team in a creativity if i can describe it strain and one animal you have to be the white tiger they are the animal to be just like s p n and set it up as a place to be i think if i were to sum it up in a word yeah i'm all for it you get one word it would be friendship because that's what you get when you come to set up there's this call by a group of aboriginal women and australia that's goes something along the lines of if you've come to change my life then forget about it but if you've come because your life is intertwined with mind then let's do something i have to say it's been really fun to work with every born it has been the most fun school related thing i've ever done in choice like every moment here and really great time for me this is my family this is been my home so i was fourteen i guess if i could you know there's a song i know that probably describes had it out and it probably would
