Meet Scott Land master puppeteer. SMP Vegas spent sometime with Scott and his cast of marionettes. His passion for his craft is inspiring. Enjoy and share.
Scott is a great guy and I have had the pleasure of being friends with him for many years. He is having issues from an auto accident now days but I hope he and his doctors can resolve the problems. Talented man and a good dude
What a lovely man, and such an inspiring and beautiful story. My aunt bought me a marionette when I was 10 years old. I loved him so much! When I was 13, we emigrated, and I wasn't allowed to take him. Now in my fifties, I am starting to learn how to make them - I finished art school two years ago. I doubt that I will ever make anything that is past pretty basic, but stories like this are just wonderful :) Xxx
I got so deeply into marionette craft and theatre, it became an addiction. I totally understand your pride , your passion. And I envy you for your amazing skills.
i've commented before...dude...I own some great marionettes, but your craft is awesome! Im trying to keep the art alive! Thank you for your heart in this lost art!
Wow great creations you have. At 65 (yeah I know it's too late to develop the skills I need) I am now retired and want to make music videos with puppets and marionettes. Sure it's a lot of work but I have all the time in the world to learn now. Thanks for a very informative video. Hoping to someday catch one of your shows and possibly become a puppeteer and fill an empty gap in the pursue of puppetry heaven. lol Happy Holidays! I have a question! What would be the best way to learn your craft. I know the time factor is important but maybe you can show or tell me someone who can show me the basic skills I need and learn from there. Possibly some video links and or books that teach puppetry. I used to be a "Imagineer" at Disney so I have many talents in miniatures, carpentry, electrical, welding, and many other things besides being a multi instrumentalist for over 50 years. Thanks!
It’s never too late! I just took a class at the Scott Land School in Las Vegas and one of the students was 74 ☺️ I highly recommend checking out the school, or like he said, the library is a free and easy place to start 😉
