Singing Sock puppets work shop

In this work shop we had to make singing sock puppets. As complicated as it at first seemed when the whole procces was broken down and we were split into groups it became alot more easier.
We were first split into groups of genres. These were Glam-rock, dubstep, reggae and ska!! We were then put into group that would sort out one area of making the puppet, these were Electronics, Making the sock puppet and the back drop. Despite most of us not having touch electronics and soldering before it was surprisingly simple! Matt brown (our mentor) showed us what we needed to do and then we were of!
We also had to get the music of which we wanted to put with the puppet and create the sound that the puppet would make with help from a friend of Matt's named Andy. Andy has had alot of experience with music and technology so he was very helpful.
When the puppets were finished and the music done all there was left to do was to record a video. so we got the back drop and put it up on a while back ground and hit the record button!
The course was very useful and is a great experience somethings are worth doing for more than just an assessment!
