"As a
Master Teacher in children’s church for sixteen years and
a film and video producer/director for over twenty, I have to say
this is a welcome merging of two mediums that have been very successful
in influencing children. So what makes these “Power Puppets”
so superior to the cotton (or straw)-headed ninny-muggins of the
past? One word – interactive
Imagine,
for example, a puppet on screen welcoming first time visitors, calling
them by name and commenting on their Saints’ jersey or their
sweet Adidas tennis shoes. As a teacher I no longer have to be behind
a curtain or stage, but I can be where I can see the kids
and interact with them. Now, I’ve got their full
attention and can drive home the points of the lesson, lead them
in scripture memorization or just play a game with them.
Plus,
in the puppet skits of old the backdrop was a lovely black curtain
that screamed, “You’re getting sleepy!” Now with
digital puppetry, the backgrounds can change with the push of a
button. Oh sure it’s just eye candy, but if it helps keep
this generation focused on our message, then I believe we should
be doing a lot more of it. Hats off to the big idea from Little
Mountain!"
