[JimmyGillentine]

Hello all.....this is my first post here. I have been a big fan of Jim Henson's work for a long time. From the days when Sesame Street was good before Elmo took over to the Muppet Show to his movies. Hope to be posting here for a long time.

New Gelfling on the block

Well not really a gelfling more of a Mystic. Im down to earth and love nature. I am mostly a sculptor but draw every once in a while. My favorite Jim Henson character ie movie would be the Dark Crystal. I didnt know what to think about Laberynth when they introduced humans into it. I prefer an untainted film without people I loved the animatronic movie characters like Pilot in Farscape and many others in movies like that. Im not much into muppets per se. I more into the more advanced version of muppets animatronica. Probably explains why I love movie creature effects and why I am geting into that field eventually. Heres a little more info on me.

Im 28, male, 5' 9" tall, caucation, artist, single, and starving artist LOL

Well that about covers it. If you have any questions just ask them here =)

Welcome, Zingaman. What a great story!
By any chance, do you remember what scene they were filming that day?

There was several scenes being shot.
- The forest animals and Snowman singing "Ding Dong Christmas Bells are Ringing" at the end. The Snowman is standing between a penguin and squirrel. The penguin is performed by Frank Oz and the squirrel by Jim Henson.
- Gonzo and Animal hanging from hangers in the closet.
- Janice bringing Cookies out and Cookiemonster devours them...Animal says "That my kind-a fella"
- Robin passing the Fraggle pebble to Grover.

That's about it... But just to be on set for the day was a dream. I feel honoured that Jim took 5 seconds of his busy time to shake my hand and say Hi. I also stood close to Frank Oz, but did not meet him. And I got to touch some official Muppets.
