Awesome, also it's cool that you know Caroll too. I meet him once at a book signing. :)

I love Elmo fighting with the cheese on the outtake in the beginning. lol That was funny.

How about puppet builders, puppet captains, and other personnel. Are their salieries simular?

Well I don't Jim wore himself out with all his many projects, in fact I think it energized him. There's a quote he said that working is as satisfying as much as enjoying a good meal. But yes, the mid 80s were a rough time for him due to Dark Crystal and Labrynth not being much of a success with...

This is cool, a thread dedicated to Richard Hunt. I can certainly say that Richard is probably one of my all time favorite Muppeteers. Especially his loud Brooklyn man voice "YO BUZZARD BEAK! WHERE'S MY RENT MONEY"? _Gonzo's Landlord on Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff. I remember hearing that...

I'm not sure if anyone posted this or seen this or not but whenever I see footage of Jim Henson I've never seen before, I just love to share it with who ever I can. lol It's really cool because Jim is being interviewed in Doc's workshop, part of the Fraggle Rock set. :)

Well I was thinking of hiring extra puppeteers for a direct to DVD sort of project.

This brings back memories because the first Muppet Show related video I owned growing up was Rowlf's Rhapsodies and I remember this was on there. :)

I liked it when Mahna Mahna punched Zoot in the face. lol What I've noticed on The Muppet Show is when a character punches another character, the sound effect kind of sounds like a boxing glove a little bit. Today in the industry with punch sound effects, it's louder and more action sounding...

Just curious how much money does puppeteers usually make?

By the way, ToughPigs are ranting about the missing releases in their new article. lol How ironic is that?

The revival from 2011 has the music videos "Mike Judge Collection volume 4". The classic ones Mike Judge Collection volumes 1-3" only have them as special features. The 90s VHS and DVDs don't have them. It's mainly because there's a lot of bands who can't take satirical commentary from cartoon...

Which reminds me Columbia was re-releasing the Time Life volumes on DVD for the first time in stores since the Time Life volumes were TV and internet exclusive at the time. But Columbia never finished the rest of the volumes. I remember getting the VHS and really wanted to switch to DVD when the...

Yeah I figure that too and the thing about music like TV and whatever media form, it's all own by separate copyright holders and owners. But at the same time the media industry has changed, sometimes songs are not owned by the musician but record companies who are owned by another company that...

Just go to the Disney DVD site, go to contact and contact them there. My advice to anyone who wants to get anything released on DVD is email the DVD company and call them too. Also write letters. That's what I do. I even contacted lionsgate about releasing The Jim Henson Hour by phone. My key to...

Okay then, thanks Buck-Beaver :)

I see what you mean, it's a skill that takes time and practice. In terms of experience I've done puppet films since high school in terms of filming my puppetry though I've learn how to perform since I was 10 and started building by own since then. It's kind of hard to describe building in words...

Thank you very much for the information on that. Also how do I go about learning how to build better quality hand and rod, live action puppets? Like you mentioned it depends on what I want to do. Yes I want to do television and film but I want to combine the TV/ film puppetry with motion...

Did you use the current Muppet Studios address? I need to get their autographs myself.

I'm working on starting a puppet workshop to make puppet films within my company though I need to price things like how much does the average professional hand and rod / live hand puppet cost to build? How much do puppeteers and puppet builders usually get when working for a puppet workshop...
