Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Wow dude. You have such an AWSOME JOB (i said it again). You portray my favorite muppet! Oh, and one more question, how do u operate the mouths on your costume and all the others( Elmo, Zoe, Telly, etc.)?
To operate the mouths this is called a mech its a handle that you sqeeze. There are two different kinds. Big Bird has two mechs inside of him one that looks like this http://timothylogue.com/mech1Bird.jpg.This is a long pole that controls his head movement ( it can move up, down, right and left ) and also the mouth and at the end of it as you can see there is a mech. The other mech that Big Bird has is the same as every other muppet and that is the hand mech and that looks like this http://timothylogue.com/mech1Telly.jpg this is in the left or right hand of the character ( depends if the person is right or left handed )
here is the right link for big birds mech, o and I dont know if you guys knew who makes our costumes, its company called Vee Corp they work with sesame workshop www.vee.com
I should also mention there is a Classic Sesame Street Live commercial on Youtube. I would post the link but Youtube's been acting kind of funny lately!
