Hi, Scott.  Welcome to the list!  It looks like your expertise will be a
great asset on this list.  Your camera puppet sounds like a great
project, but nothing I've ever done.  So, the only advise I can give you
is to trust your artistic talent a little more.  None of us where born
artistic geniuses.  For me it took days to become one.  (It's a JOKE!
Don't flame me.)  Seriously, we all learn by doing.  It sounds as though
you are in the middle of all the reference material you need.  Surely
there must be a camera in your store that suggests a suitable face.  Try
picking up a few cameras at random and move them around, give them a
voice, and make sure no one is watching when you do it. :)

Do you remember Disney's door knob from "Alice in Wonderland"?  It's
amazing the things that can suggest facial features with just a little
tweaking.

Just as a matter of curiousity.  I assume you know that your messages
include an html version of your text posting, but I can't for the life
of me figure out why.  Care to enlighten me?
