Would you like to see more unedited live recordings of older shows?

Nostalgia Time: The pawpetshow on physical media

Just a quick video that I came up with while doing maintenance of my file archive - have you ever seen a pawpetshow video on physical media?

Demön Hünterz - Raw Stream Recording

Hi everyone!

Since we still don't have a new video editor (the person formerly working with us vanished into the void during the pandemic), the official release of Demon Hünterz is still on hold until we find someone new to take over.

To bridge the time, we're giving you access to the raw recording taken off the ef prime live stream, including all the hilarious technical breakdowns :)

Enjoy!

Patreon just announced they're changing their privacy policy to default all of your account info, who you support, etc. to public.  You need to go into the settings and disable that. Check the two toggles at the bottom of the Settings page to off.

ACAB - Unedited Stream Recording

Hi everyone!

This is the unedited ef prime broadcast - it will stay unlisted, since it's not the official release. However we wanted to give you a little earlier access than the usual 1-2 years it takes to bring the raw  recordings through post-production and build a new video from ground up :)

This is with all the delays, glitches and mishaps intact - enjoy :)

We made it! Thank you everyone!

What an adventure this was!

The Making of a Prop: The Voice Recorder

Hi Folks!

It's probably hard to imagine how much work goes into the detail of even some of the smallest props.

If you've seen our show "The Signal" you might have noticed a certain voice dictation crystal playing an important role in the story of the show. In this post I'm sharing a few WIP pictures of the crystal as well as the Blender file and the Arduino code in case you want to build your own.

We first started talking about the general shape and Cheetah said that he'd li...

Production Update April 2023

It's 6 months late, but at least it's here now! The long awaited production update for our new show!

The Signal - Original Soundtrack

This is the complete score to our 2022 show "The Signal" composed and arranged by no other than the magnificient Fox Amoore. This work will probably also see a proper release on Fox's shop and all the regular outlets later this year!

I edited this to a slideshow of stills photographies that Tioh and Martini Snowfox took during the show. 

I personally think it's a masterpiece, and surprisingly listeneable for something that was composed to action cues - can you find all the hi...

The Skies of Astar - Backstage Video

I've had this on the backburner for a while, but I guess it's time to  finally put it out there :)  This video will give you a peek behind the  playboard at the Eurofurence Pawpetshow!  Unfortunately, the last 30  minutes are missing because the batteries of our GoPro camera ran out of  juice, but we think it's an interesting look behind the scenes anyways  and decided to release it as it is. Have fun!

What kind of content should we work on next?

The Signal - Unedited Stream Recording

From the Workshop / Seat Reservations

Hi everyone! 

I wanted to get this out sooner, but getting the show running is a bit of a nightmare this year, and we're working overtime to get everything on stage! 

If you can read this and you're attending EF, please leave a comment with your badge number and nickname on this post until 12:00 on Saturday, and I will make sure you'll get a seat reservation!

yours,

Cheetah

PPS Backstge Tour

Dear Patrons, 

as you know Eurofurence is approaching fast and we're in the last stages of building props, backgrounds and more for this year's show. Since you supported us in the past we want to extend an offer for a backstage tour of the stage and our workshop live at EF.

We'll meet Friday 3pm in the Rotunda, we'll have a puppet with us. Please note that this is shortly after our dress rehearsal so there might be spoilers around 🙂

Looking forward to see you there a...

The Signal - Production Update Ep. 1

It's been a while hasn't it? The hiatus caused by the pandemic is now definitely over, and production is in full swing! We're also trying to spread out the work for patreon content over more persons than just me, which is why Episodes might actually be a little bit out of chronological order, sorry for that :) First official Production Update is about our informal meeting at Mephit Mini Con just a few days ago. Additionally, please enjoy a few work in progress photos :)

Juno Rising - The Interviews

Three releases in a row? Well, not hearing anything from us for months must have paid off in SOME way, right?

These are the events "Welcome to the Pawpetshow" and "Meet the Cast of  Juno Rising", which respectively preceded and succeeded the EFO premiere of the show, featuring interviews with the director, the writers and parts of the cast of the EF pawpetshow - and a surprise appearance of our composer, Fox Amoore!

Enjoy :) 

Finally: Juno Rising is released!

What a crazy journey this production was, and here we present it in all its remastered glory. 

I usually try to keep the post production effects to a minimum, but especially during the fighting scenes, it was reaaaaaly hard to keep track of who is shooting at whom - partly because we messed up the timing a lot. In the scene at Links Lair, several thing happened that made NO sense, and in addition to some creative cuts and shuffling some lines around adding in visible laser beams ma...

Clearing Out The Attic - EFO Shenannigans

I case you have missed it, "Clearing out the Attic" was a behind the scenes show that we produced  live at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg on September 26, 2021 for Eurofurence Online.

The announcement said: "Join Cheetah and Haku in a classic show-and-tell, as they dig through  the crates in the attic of the Pawpetshow storage while  mindlessly  rambling about all the old props, devices, odds and ends they might  find. May contain traces if alcohol."

A Prodigious Pawpetshow Patreon Pandemic Publication

Due to the restrictions of the pandemic, work on the new show has grind to a crawl, and it's currently a bit of a challenge to come up with meaningful content for our youtube channel.

Nontheless, here's a long due update for our supporters! Where we are in terms of the new show, what's  in store for EF Online in 2021 - and some exclusive first look at the  story of the new show, new puppets, what makes the sound mix of live  shows so difficult, and we've also got some rem...

It's cold out here.

Making Of "Demön Hünterz"- Episode 2

Here it finally is! The last few months were really hard on my mental health, and it's really hard to be creative in isolation.

I'm trying to make up for the long wait with an extra-jumbo-sized 42 minute episode. That's basically three episodes in one serving, and I've done my best not to repeat too much you've seen in the production updates of earlier shows!

You'll get a nice introduction from (almost) the entire team, and a lot of "before vs after" comparisons of a few scenes ...

EFO - The Interviews

Hi everyone! Thanks for your ongoing support in these dark times :) This release has been overdue for a while, because of my own spectacular failure to record the stream. So what's this? In case you missed it, we gave a couple of interviews on Discord preceding and trailing the premiere of the "Skies of Astar" video back in August. The first third or so is just me, and I'm being joined by Tani, Pan and Eisfuchs around the 0:30 mark. The sound and picture quality are coronalicious - we hope it...

You Write a Script and then Shit Happens

This is our panel for Eurofurence 2020, about the challenges of managing  a volunteer run stage show, what can possibly go wrong, and what we  have learned from it! Contains lots of hopefully interesting  behind-the-scenes commentary of shows past and present :) 

Release: The Skies of Astar

Hello, and a lot of thanks for your ongoing support, even though releases have been scarce in the last time :) We're very happy to present you the official release version of "The Skies of Astar",  recorded live at Eurofurence 23 (2017) in Berlin.

The Peter M. Harrington Airfield is bustling with life as the  celebration of the Trans-oceaning Expedition is about to being.  Everybody is excted to see what the explorers brought back home from  their journey. After the...

Eurofurence Online PPS Panel

Dear Patreons,

we're currently planning a live streamed talk for Eurofurence Online.

The concept is that we're taking the community back stage to show what happens once the script materializes. The talk will include behind the scenes war stories and illuminate why things happen the way they do and how we work.

Today we're asking you if you have particular scenes, characters, props, funny incidents etc. for which you'd like to see behind the scenes information. &...

Making Of "Demön Hünterz"- Episode 1

This was supposed to come out a year go - but better late then never :) With the work on anything EF-Related being postponed to next year, I finally have the time to dive into the slowly composting pile of random footage and separate the trash from the treasure :) 

Enjoy :) 

Release: Behind the Scenes of "Operation Desert Snow"

Back in the day, we did not comprehensively document the production like  we try to do today, but every now and then, team members and friends  brought their cameras and then uploaded the most entertaining clips they  found. This is a small collection of the material available from the  final rehearsal in August 2009 that'll give you a nice taste of what the  production was like a decade ago, when were were still young, slim and  free of grey hair :)
