Puppet Tears, ep 052 Cedwan Hooks

Published: July 22, 2020, 11 a.m.

We're going BIG this week, since our guest is a master of costume characters both inside and out! Cedwan Hooks is a puppeteer for screen and stage who you can see on Slugs and Bugs, Moon and Me, and Doom Patrol, plus a wrangler on a number of television series, including Sesame Workshop's Helpsters on Apple TV+. He is also the owner of Creatures Inspired, his own LLC where he designs, builds and consults on professional puppetry projects, including the Dreamworks Experience in Macau.

Tune in for this awesome conversation ranging from Cedwan's early love for Barney and Friends, his big break in high school designing and building his own Audrey II, to now working full-time in the entertainment industry. Don't miss his insights into what makes an effective walk around puppet, puppeteering on a set during the COVID outbreak, and Cam and Adam drop a few Wizard of Oz puns for good measure.
