Plenty of Paper Puppet Playfulness Pending

For this series, we will be creating very short puppet pieces for our Tik Tok. This gives us the opportunity to create puppet projects with quick commitments and opportunity to delve into styles (rod, paper, shadow, etc).

The first of these projects features an OLD character from Zero Untitled’s canon, Baby Dormouse. The character originated from the 2009 children’s show “Safety Critters”. Instead of a live actor, Baby Dormouse is now a paper puppet talking head…literally. The first two ultra shorts were posted on Tik Tok (see links below). Expect to see more Baby Dormouse and other unique experiments in puppetry.

New Christmas music video coming

Zero Untitled’s final project of 2024 (for possible 2024 release as well) is a holiday themed music video for Down Chamber’s track “Scattered Fears”.

The video is under the direction of Daniel Rodriguez and Michael Verderber. Additional crew at Raymond Martinez, Julio Martinez, and Katherine Orozco-Verderber. Pre-production has already begun with principal filming occurring in mid and late December 2024.

We Joined the British Puppet Guild

Zero Untitled are officially members of the 2024-2025 British Puppet Guild! What does this mean for us? Well, with the events and workshops that the Guild hosts, we will have access to their cache of expertise, experts, and networks of international puppeteers! So, expect to see an improvement to our puppetry endeavors in the next year.

Cool Summer

Backroom Karaoke promo

Sorry for the delay in content here on the main page. We have had a TON of shows in June and more coming in July. Let’s review some of the happenings thus far:

– Back on June 10th, we had our first ever “Backroom Karaoke” show featuring the voices of Andrea Lorin and Katherine Orozco-Verderber. They sang 90s and 2000s pop hits live on Facebook Live (a medium we hadn’t tried yet).
– Yesterday, June 16th, we celebrated Premature Punchline’s 10 year BIRTHDAY by doing a mini-show for a small crowd on Zoom. We performed a brand new game called “Art Show” in which PPers must quickly draw fantastic art pieces while the audience votes on the winners.

– Episodes of “Sonic Sway” will be released on YouTube. These five episodes will break up the show into the five different improvised techno songs. The first is viewable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ2vk68gRmI&t=167s

– “Groucho Max” is going on a seasonal hiatus until more episodes become developed. All previous episodes are still viewable on Youtube.

– Also, this site has been fickle so we are strongly considering being rid of zerountitled(dot)com and jump onto another website. So this may be one of the final posts until we push for the new website (where ever that may be at)

So, perhaps you will see more posts here or we may just stick with our social media outlets to get the word out about our shows.
