Jim Henson Workshop - Making Muppets

[gritnom]

Imagine if someone walked into that room and it was just puppets without the puppeteers at the tables being taught by the teacher. .

Jim Henson also contributed hugely to science fiction movies and TV shows, like Yoda in Star Wars (fans cried out the more 'realistic' Yoda didn't look like Yoda in the first prequel, so they made him more muppet-like). And Jim Henson Company did the animatronic/muppet characters in Farscape. Of course the basic muppet look is all Jim Henson, truly a lovable style of puppets. My favorite is of course the Cookie Monster. Googly eyes and blue fur always works... after Jim Henson invented it.

[Pauluk33]

great stuff, youve got to love the puppets

[downfader2]

This is cool. Have often wanted to make my own muppet, although this video doesnt really show you much its still an inspiration. :-)

[13Elphaba13]

facinating video. Jim Henson was a genius.

[muppetspuppets]

Nice! I've always wondered what they use for arm rods.

Is it piano wire ???

[torontobabe]

well piano wire isn't exactly sold at the corner hardware store where I live so I use the wire from inside a broken umbrella. They're like spokes from a bicycle wheel. Works really well.

[SYFANT]

wire hangers are great too

[muppetspuppets]

Nice! I've always wondered what they use for arm rods.

Is it piano wire????

[puppetrynews]

Yes piano wire straightened is definitely an option.. G
