Digital Mahna Mahna

Just posted this on my blog and thought a lot of you might dig it, a digitally puppeteered re-creation of "Mahna Mahna". It's crude, but neat.

That's really cute! It's crudeness I think, is what gives it it's charm. I love how Mahna Mahna just floats up in the air in the begining.

That was fun! How long did it take you to do that?

 

[Buck-Beaver]

I didn't do it, it was created by students at Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center.

I found another digital Muppet project, from the same university - this one is a virtual reality version of the Muppet Show. Check it out - http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/2005/11/more-digital-muppets.html

Very funny, I have just one question though. In that last scene was Kermit controlling that little man wearing the virtual reality headset or was it the other way around I'm not sure?
