While Adam has some experience with full body puppets (Totoro, Revenant Bear), his costumes weren't made to wear for hours on end, nor did they include heavy animatronics. At Jim Henson's Creature shop, creative supervisor Peter Brooke takes Adam through the designing and building of Junior Gorg from Fraggle Rock, while performer Morgana Ignis demonstrates how to bring the beloved character to life!

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I remember seeing a clip of when Jim Henson was a guest on Carson's Tonight Show, and I think he started the interview normally (as Jim) but then a minute or two later, he puts on the Kermit puppet and Jim disappeared right in front of our eyes. I think Carson even mentioned during that interview how incredible it was having a conversation with a puppet, even though the performer was right there. The Henson puppeteers are almost "too" good at what they do sometimes. I've also had the pleasure of attending a handful of performances of "Puppet Up!" over the years and that show format has the same juxtaposition where the performers don't stay hidden at all, they just wear solid black outfits on the stage and their puppets are framed by a camera that is positioned all the way downstage-center looking at the performers. There are projection screens in the theatre that the audience can see that shows the puppets as if you were watching them on TV at home. To be able to see it all happen in real-time is kind of mindblowing. The best way I've been able to describe the show is that it's like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", but with puppets! They do lots of improv during the show, too. It's just...incredible. And FUN!

I've done a bit of amateur puppetry and can confirm, once you're into the swing of things it starts to feel _wrong_ for the puppet to not be 'present' even when you're not performing. It's only when you put them down they stop being a 'character' and revert to being an object. It's weird.

For me, the thing that makes me think most of Full Body Puppeteering, in relation to the Jim Henson Company is Bear in the Big Blue House; I still can't comprehend how Noel MacNeal was able to puppeteer and voice a character, in a suit that was noticeably weighty and cumbersome, and probably required either lots of rest breaks or the AC cranked up to the max. That's a show I really hope eventually gets the same revival efforts that Fraggle Rock is currently receiving.

During first season of 'Dinosaurs!', a friend took me on a private tour of the set! We have all seen 'behind the scenes' of Studios in general; lighting, sets, back-drops, props. In Henson's world, we see puppeteers 'built into the set', or even living inside their creations. In all of this, you are never prepared for how badly it stinks! Here is a sample of the ingredients of the heady brew: Paint of all kinds, adhesives, sweat, stale snacks, over-flowing garbage-cans, old beverages that got tipped over and are sticky to the floor, sweat, spilled booze, the odd joint shared around the set, more sweat. And that is when everything is going well! Desperation to make dead-lines contribute subtle notes of Lavender and collective Madness. A professional set is grinding out footage 12-18 hours a day, under banks of hot light when it's active. It's a big closed room with no air circulation between sessions. "They smell baaaad!"

"As a puppeteer, your Situational Awareness has to utterly shift." "Oh, completely" "Your PROPRIOCEPTION has to now include the costume ." I have never heard that word before! GOOGLE says : -Proprioception (or kinesthesia) is the sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body, including our sense of equilibrium and balance, senses that depend on the notion of force. -For example, proprioception enables a person to close their eyes and touch their nose with their index finger. Other examples of proprioception include: Knowing whether feet are on soft grass or hard cement without looking (even while wearing shoes) Balancing on one leg. .... Thanks for the lesson Adam!!

WOW, I am so struck by how MANY people are necessary to make a full-body puppet like this work! The body performer, two or more people to put the costume on, a DIFFERENT person to operate the servos! Seriously, so many... This is slightly terrifying to imagine, becoming just a CANVAS for other people's art, to manipulate to their ends, and you're gonna HELP, but you're not FULLY independent... Just gives me more awe and respect for these Creature Shop pros!!

Live action puppets are definitely still a huge part of TV and cinema. The perfect balance of CGI and puppetry will definitely always produce the best results. Loved this vid!!!!

Wow! This suit is nothing like the ones the actors wear at the Disney themeparks. I had a friend who worked as a performer for Disney at their Florida location and she measured the temperature inside her suit (at the height of summer, but in a shaded location) to be around 120 degrees F. This suit's mesh outer layer, even with all that yarn-work, must breath a lot better than Disney's polyester nightmares.

This is so amazing! I've always been curious about the innerworkings of full-body puppetry. I want to see more of these. Will this make you go back and make changes to the Totoro costume, Adam?

Absolutely loving these videos, especially with how the suits work and how they feel and even see inside of them. Learning more about Jim Henson's Creature Shop gives me some real excitement to see what they were able to pull with the Five Nights at Freddy's Movie. A very very talented company that's for sure, I've always loved seeing stuff like this. Hopefully we get a look at some of the animatronics next, especially from Jurassic Park!

Man CGI cannot touch this. I absolutely love the work that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop does. They’ve worked on a few of my favorite films such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Where the wild things are.

There is something about puppeteering that just can never be replaced with animation. They have a certain liveliness to them, so much so that they can actually get perceived as real people. It would not take me long to adjust and interact with one of the muppets asif they were their own individuals.
