Silhouette Puppet Show: Perform

Video Transcript

"Now, that our screen is made and we've also made our images, our puppets, I can show you now, how it's going to look when you actually do your show. Now, the amount of light that's coming from the front of the screen will determine how close you have to hold the images to the screen. So, these images right now, can even be pressed all the way against the screen. Or if you have the light they can be held a little bit of a distance, you can play around with the different effects, but we see that their being controlled by the sticks so, you don't see the hands in the background, you only see the images. And, if you are using just a low light and you have to put it all the way against the screen, just make sure that it sits flush so that you can see the entire image. And, this is basically the way that the show is put on, with your voice in the background. And, you can tell a story, you can also see how the size of the images and the size of your screen come into play, depending on how many people you're going to be showing this in front of, your, you could want to use a much larger screen and images can be as large as you want. So, this could really be shown in front of a much larger audience. We've chosen just a, a small screen about the size of a sheet of note book paper. But, we see that the visibility is, all determines, it's all relative to the size of the screen and the size of the images. So, you have a lot of room to play around. This is also a really nice project to do for a class, where each one makes their own images and they can go ahead and they can tell their own story. I've had teachers use it for a standard arts and crafts project and I've also had teachers use it to develop creativity with, with their kids where they actually come up with a story and make the images and they, and they go ahead and tell the story in front of the class. So, there's a lot of things you can do with this, this project. It's a lot of fun and it's really one of those projects that you really want to keep around the house and take it out, and use it over and over again to a, to really entertain the kids in anyway, in anyway you want so, enjoy this project."
