Me wants! Me wants!
Save me a copy!
-
looks really interesting
-
· are there really Fennec-pawpets in the show? CYOOOTE!!! Never seen such pawpets before. If so: I must have one! I even will pay for it ;D
-
Actually, we've got 911 attendees. Are you sure to bring enough posters? :P
-
Opera Lion ? ;D
*runs away* Stop beating me ! Ouch ! Ouch ! Ouch ! Caution.. wet floor.
-
Mika with a frying pan was worrying enough......but a gun?!?!
Now no-one messes with Mika.......and lives :P
(soooo looking forwards to this years show! )
-
Now no-one messes with Mika.......and lives :P
So Lionel has nothing to worry about, has he? ;)
*purrrr*

More art for the art wall!

DISCLAIMER: The show might or might not contain Fennec(s). In case of Fennec involvement, note that there is a 100% chance of said Fennec(s) beeing custom built. But, of cause, that's all highly hypothetical, really.
-
Warning: if custom build Fennecs are involved, do not go near Fennecs. They may be aggressive. Eurofurence e.V. holds no liability for Fennec-related injuries when Fennecs have been provoced.
-
Also, please note that Fennecs are not to be confused with Fan-Ex(tm). The former is a desert fox, the later a fanboy repellant. Thank you for your attention.

Is this foreshadowing?

One thing I asked on FA already, is it somehow possible to get a poster of last year's show, as well? Or to buy/get a high resolution image to print it on my own, or anything like that?
I'd love to have those wonderful bats on my wall.^^
Greetings,

No! Fennecs are all cute and cuddly. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv3J6dhJEnc) ;D

Actually, we've got 911 attendees. Are you sure to bring enough posters? :P
I will have 100 posters with me (20 of them reserved for the Pawpet Show team). In case - which I don't really believe - they should sell out quickly, I will take pre-orders and re-print them after EF. :)
@ RealZero:
The "problem" is that I sold a limited poster print (signed by everybody of the team) in the Art Show last year, #1/1. It would not be fair to now just sell them regularly. If I find out who bought the poster last year, and if that person is OK with me selling more regular prints of it, it would be fine with me. I will see what I can do.

Oh so now it's a run for both the poster and the book with the other poster o.o

You should be prepared, with the two leopards in the background. Or make those into a separate piece, they're awesome!
-
Do we have to send you a PM to order in advance, Tani?
-
Hehe, come with Mika if you want to live ;D
-
I so want one.
I really love the pawpet show and so it is appropriate to have one of those prints. 15 Euro's is quite something but it's worth it. It's an awesome design. It reminds a lot about the one from last year and I think that's really great.
-
Do we have to send you a PM to order in advance, Tani?
Either PM or email. In case I don't hear back from you in time (sorry for my late reply), I will reserve you one for sure. ^^
@ Karasaph: I think 15 EUR for a DIN A1 sized poster incl. poster tube is a pretty cheap price compared to what people spend on regular prints or in the Art Show. ;P

You got yourself a white one there, did it come with a selection of sand-coloured paint?

*looks at the fennec picture in disbelief*
Hell, do those ears have to be pumped up first like the wings of a dragonfly? And dry in the sun before it can take off?
BTW, before anybody jumps at wrong conclusions because of my avatar: I am not, by any means, Happy Fun Fennec, nor related in any way. Also, I'm not filled with green goo. Usually.
-
Theo: Yes, it comes with furpaint (tm). Please read the instructions.
Gyro: About the ears: Yes, the can be inflated.
Here's Stage 2:

Ssh! You're supposed to be drunk on EF, not one week before the con!
Also, the wine is much better here.

It`s going on right now, don`t miss it. Greetings from the lobby!!!
-
there is only one thing I can say!
HolyShitWTFBBQZomfgOlololAtomicrofl
well that's my impression when I saw the awesome show.
it was my first and God I sooo wanna take part in that xD
-
Glad you liked the show! ^.^
So.. think we had enough Fennecs? ^.^
-
The show felt quite different than earlier shows but it was an entertaining experience none the less.
I kinda missed the good old running gags but they might just not have been that fitting if they were done the same way they were usually done.
I also had the impression that the show itself was shorter than usual, which is possibly because of less action going on than I previous shows.
Still, I enjoyed it and I really hope that there will be a DVD sooner than later :)
-
The message was awesome! Keep it up no matter what others might say!
-
It depends what show you compare it to. A few years ago we ended up with shows that ran for the best part of 2.5 hours. Over the last few years Cheetah and Eisfuchs cut that down to a more manageable 1.5 hours, simply because 2.5 hours is a long time to sit on your tush in a boiling hot room, and it's also a long time to run back and forth behind the stage.
We also intentionally did break with some of the running gags and famous quotes. Over the last few years, we focussed on all our main puppets, one at a time. This year it was Mika's turn, to show that the tough girl noone messes with and who does everything herself and who has the black belt in catfighting... also has issues of her own.
Personally... I am SO looking forward to finding out what we will come up with for next year's show. Africa/Serengeti should make a really good setting!
Meow!
Fairlight!
-
P.S.: I found all those names rather confusing and it took me quite a while to figure out at least some of the characters names.
Generally I have a problem with remembering names, especially such uncommon ones :(
Perhaps this could help you to improve the show in some way, that its less confusing for those people that have problem with remembering names :)
-
You mean, like "Poke"? ^.^
Nah.. I agree this year's names were quite tricky. Took us pawpeteers quite a while to be able to pronounce them without too much difficulty.
The short names, I think, were okay. Malika, Adham, Rashid, etc.
But it was an arabic-themed convention, and so we had to follow arabic naming conventions (the whole ibn and ben stuff. Arabic names tend to include their origins and lineage to some degree, and so can get quite long).
By the way... all the arabic names used in the show have actual meanings. That includes the characters, the name of the oasis and the name of the land. Cheetah and Eisfuchs must have spent quite a while researching arabic names, there ^.^ (One example: Al Waha Ta'lab means the Oasis of the Foxes. We hope ^.^ You'll have to try and figure out the other meanings yourself, tho ^.^)
Seeya,
Fairlight!

Nice attention to detail there, just goes to show how much planning is actually involved in the show :)

I can't compare it to anything but I really liked the whole female sketch, especially in a setting and a fandom with so many guys in it. The end really made me wink away a tear and that's just awesome!
-
*grins* We'll add that to our resumes. "Makes grown men cry" ^.^
It is amazing, year after year, to see the reaction of the audience.
From source to sea,
all mighty rivers flow,
but where they’ll take you on their way,
you’ll never know,
until you’re there!
Please don’t cry,
it’s just a short goodbye,
we’ll meet again down by the sea,
Just wait for me,
I’ll see you there!
Strangers from far away,
turned to friends in a day.
Sorrow is the price of victory,
but with a friend,
sorrow shared, is sorrow halfed!
Friendship crossed the divide!
Now we walk side by side!
Why pretend we live in different worlds?
Let’s join our hands
take the chance, and build a world of ... Friends!

I especially loved the crazy Fennec. She was so funny and cute xD
I guess next one can be around Lionel. would be fitting.
mew. does a DVD come out? because I only got 3/4 of the show on my cam (curse you my accu) and without the Pictureless parts p.p (not to mention the bad quality because my arm fell off and it isn't made for dark recording p.p)
ah and I really really loved the song at the end. Hell she should have a singing careere.
-
The show was just lovely, I preferred the topic of last year, but it was still great. I so love Poke's humor, the same like mine. *chuckles*
Well, a longer "rating" of the show in my full review of the con later the day (?).
Mhh, so, any chance to get the ending song by Lori as a sound file? Or in general songs from the Pawpet show's? Would love to hear those again in quality better than "cell-phone-you-tube-quality".^^

The ending song for "DreamCatchers" was released on one of BBF's videos. I believe it was the EF pre-registration Video part 2. But since EF15's Pawpet show just happened it will probably be awhile before anything is released in high quality.
-
Hmm.. I think we'll have to wait for Cheetah to be out of OMG-Mode before we can find out if he plans to release the sound file.
As far as DVD's go: It's planned. The problem is that the production of the DVD takes a lot of time, what with it all needing video cutting and audio remastering (not easy, given we have a 5.1 soundtrack). Cheetah, BBF and Jaryic are usually so snowed under in other projects that there is a huge back log of shows awaiting beeing remastered.
According ot Cheetah, there's a chance we might see the release of one of the older shows on DVD later this year, but that's all down to how much time the team can spend to produce it. EF is a really big con, and most of the 365 days a year has is spent on planning for it.. ^.^ I think some day we'll need to find a seperate "post production" crew ^.^
-
I have to say, when I saw Mika being gunned down I was like "WTF" and had troubles keeping my eyes dry. I'm glad she got back in the end. It was nice to see what was written on the wheel of the chair as well "Nobody messes with Mika". Just... just don't let any of the puppets "die" okay? It makes me sad...
-
I think the situation between mika being shot and her reapearance was just surreal
A main character is dead and everyone is happy and celebrating as if nothing happened.
There really SHOULD have been a sign that she is just heavily wounded.
-
My personal opinion of Mika being shot was that it didn't seem to have the same emotional impact on the audience as, say, Monty's death in the EF13 show because I don't think anyone could believe that a main cast member would be killed off without it ending the run as well.
YMMV, of course...
Cheers,
Southie
-

We never said she was dead, did we? Adham is an asshole, but a lousy shooter who only by luck managed to kill his brother during the brawl. He would just have left Mika lying there dying if the Fennecs had not interfered.
-
owolf: Valid point.
For someone to be shot and then not move anymore it was just an easily made assumption. In this case a wrong one.
-
I especially loved the crazy Fennec. She was so funny and cute xD
That would be Nashida. (custom fennec pawpet build by Xan and played by me)
Yes, the killing of characters was quite nonclimatic this time, especially compared to the first times we did it (Monty and Finlay). It's part of the genre, I think. I'm not part of the storywriting, but I personally also prefer the slapstick to the deep story, especially if it involves having to kill someone.
The writing on the wheelchair had been added shortly before the show as a tribute to Tani, who, well... rehearsed her role a little bit too thoroughly.
*purrrr*
-
I hope it's okay if I upload around 3/4 of the show in "my-arm-fell-of-so-don't-blame-me" quality. my cam died before the showdown on the dam. if not please tell me.
@Zefiro:
thanks for that awesome acting!
by the way. why was tani in hospital??
-
There were some issues with a rather upset stomach.
Trust me, those were tough hours when we learned that Tani was taken into hospital... and we were not sure how serious it'd be.
I'm just glad she was fine, in the end. Not just for the show's sake, but first and foremost for Tani's sake. *hugs a Schnolf*
Otherwise, this would have required the biggest "Plan B", ever! ^.^
-
Great performance! I was wondering though, I have a recording of it, and would like to share it on the internet; am I allowed to? And can anyone recommend a way of getting the .wmv files I have from the camera into iMovie so I can add captions for the audio-only segments?
I'd happily pay €15-€20 for a high quality version of this, and the same again for the previous ones, though I'd not be able to afford all of them... at least, not all at once.
-
Great great show! It was my first one. I heard only good storries about the pawpet show in the past, but it was even better than I imagined, in a professional way! Keep up the good work, and let us know if and when and where it can be bought on DVD :D
-
Whitepaw: There already are some of the Acts on YouTube.
Feel free to share your recordings as you like. Just let us know where they are, then. I'd love to see the show, myself, from the audience's perspective!
-
Talking about buying stuff: who wants to sell a fennec puppet and how much is it? Or where can I find a pattern for it to make it myself?
-
Gnah I forgot to upload part 10 xD okay wil be done today.
You can find part 1-12 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upuvNtS7LJQ&feature=PlayList&p=69C1B2F7FDE27657&index=0&playnext=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upuvNtS7LJQ&feature=PlayList&p=69C1B2F7FDE27657&index=0&playnext=1)
(when I uploaded part 10 xD first I have to split it into 2 because of 12 minutes :<)
Uhhhm well and the rest is written in the video description.
Next year I have legs for my cam and an extra battery
-
@ Keidran: yeay, thanks for uploading it!
-

The Fennec's are custom made and based on a disassembled Folkmanis Fox with some larger ears. You can ask Kyron if he would like to make you one (for money of course), but i think that will cost some money. The Fennecs are hand made and mostly we didn't use a sewing machine (used mine only for the ears, but then decided to go by hand for the rest).

Oh may Gawd it's Lionel peeking into the cam xD
god how cute xD
and thanks lynard for the info x3
maybe after I finished my fursuit I'll talk to him
