A TV Stage
The television puppet stage can be as long as wished, because the picture can be quickly changed from a camera at one end of the stage to a camera at the other. The only limitation is the puppeteer's ability to gallop from scene to scene. Monitor sets should be positioned back stage, so that the operator can see exactly what kind of a picture of his puppets is being shown. When doing a show for TV, get as much practice as you can with the use of these monitor sets. It takes time to get used to the fact that you are seeing your puppet backwards; that is, the puppet on your left hand is on the right of the TV screen.
