Henson Podcast "Basic Puppeteering - Using a Monitor"

[xRewinded]

Let's count how many times he says "Jim Henson Puppeteer"

[PlatonicPhi]

"How do I become a "Jim Henson Company" puppeteer?"

You stick your hand up your ass and start talking. When you can do that you can move on to a muppet! 8D

[PlatonicPhi]

@PlatonicPhi I smell money now a days when seeing stuff about the Henson company... 8(

[sirchristian12]

@PlatonicPhi Dude I am the master of sticking my hand up my ass! I am ready to move on!! hahahahahahah

[IntoTheLens827]

Yea, Using the monitor can be very tricky indeed. I did some stuff that was actully funny by using & looking at the monitor. I actully had my puppet go up from the side of the frame to the top. As I got the puppet to the top of the frame, (& upside-down) I had the puppet fall to the ground. lol. I need to get that video up on here one day so please stay tuned to my channel & subscribe. I would like to get some of my puppet stuff on here!!!

im glad you used fraggle rock for the song

[Quesal]

I've been aware of this technique forever. It's great to see that people don't forget even after Henson's death.

[mustar8]

good video! But try to count how many times he says "jim henson company" XD.

[Gerald5000]

It'd make for a bad drinking game cause you wouldn't be able to pour shots fast enough.

@mustar8

12 - Jim Henson Company (puppeteers, mostly)

15 - Jim Henson

[TerminatorFiles]

@mustar8 11 times in the entire video.. with 8 times in the first minute alone. I think he works for the Jim Henson Company... but I am not really sure.

Thank you very much for posting this video!

(And that is an Awesome armadillo puppet.)

[T0m1977]

That was neat!

[masteractor]

Awesome!

[astoundingchimp]

I wish this guy had mentioned which company he worked for.

[ToasterBoyYT]

Hilarious!

[JammieBodgers]

That was great and fun and informative! I've tried the sock puppet and my arm gets tired really fast from being held straight up for very long. What do you do about that?

[cheady20]

This is so unbelievably fantastic. Thank you for posting this.

@SylvesterParkview what date did you attend Steve Whitmire's lecture/workshop?

[mightymur]

Hah! That's what I need, a desire to do more creative pursuits! Now I wanna puppeteer! Dangit, Grant!

(Excellent video, more, please!)

[supercoolcreative]

Awesome video Grant!

[lonicrux]

Great. Just what the world needs more puppeteers! Awesome, make all these videos. regular pod casts are so bleh and this guy is cuuuutie. Too bad i'm a married woman.

[MARCUSEBARNES]

Great video! I've added it to my puppets & puppeteering playlist. I hope you produce some more how-to/tip videos in the future.

[TinyDancer500]

Really cool look behind the scenes, thanks! Fantastic hair on that Grant Muppet, too ;-)

First thing is to think backwards.
