Okay you got your puppeteers now but, you got your puppeteers doesn't necessarily mean that they all know how to operate the puppets. Alright hopeful you had a audition process were you see if the person that you are recruiting has potential to be a puppeteer. Some of them may be natural puppeteers and they know how to operate puppets beautifully but, if they don't you could train them. I would suggest to pick up some books on proper mutilation for puppeteers because there is a right way and a wrong way to operate puppets.
