Don't miss the April Guild meeting on Sunday, April 23rd at Images In Motion. Images In Motion has a video studio especially designed for puppet shoots. It has been used for a number of children's puppet and music videos. It will be set up for a hands-on workshop, performing in front of the TV camera. Puppets will be available, or BYO puppets. Kamela, Mike and Lee will cover basic manipulation, then how to put it all together in a scene.

Kamela and Mike have just completed another round of the popular Round Table Pizza ads. Lee is returning from 5 months in Vancouver, shooting the PBS series "Mustard Pancakes" (Parent's Choice Gold award.) Images In Motion is currently puppeteering, building puppets and writing scripts for a number of TV shows. Clients include Cartoon Network, Leapfrog Toys, PBS, etc. More info on IIM can be seen at www.imagesmedia.com. There will be lots to see and do. There will also be an opportunity to view puppet videos. If you have a short clip you'd like to show (3-5 min), call 707 996-9four74 to get on the program.
