Oops, too high!

[Frogpuppeteer]

hey everyone,
i was wondering if anyone here has noticed that in certain muppet movies if you look close enough you can see the puppeteers that go to high or if the camera goes to low,i sometimes go looking for them i find it funny plus i like seeing them there if you have seen some in what movies have you ive seen them in :
muppet treasure island
a muppet family christmas
and a few other icant think of

can you guys tell me of a seen to look for so I can see it for myself. preferably Muppet treasure island because I haven't watched that movie in a while and plan to soon. I would really like to see them because I've always thought that they wouldn't allow that kinda thing to happen

Often times this is not the fault of the puppeteers. Sometimes frame aspect ratios on cameras/monitors/film look ok on set but heads and hands are later found in pre-production.

And sometimes the puppeteers just screw up.

I've heard theres lots in the muppet movies but I havent even seen them.

I've noticed some occurences in a couple of Bert and Ernie sketches. Probably old ones though.

in muppet treasure island its when fozzie is sword fighting agaisnt angle marie if you look and anlge maries arm you see the puppeteer look up real quick, also in muppet family christmas when they are all coming in to fozzie's moms house something during of after floyd you can see another one and in a very merry muppet christmas movie when piggy is on the swing during moulin scrooge(hope its spelled right) you can see eric jacobson but it goes real fast so you have to be quick to catch it. those are the only ones i can think of right now if anyone knows anymore put em up again im not hateing them for messing up i like seeing them it shows you who the guy or girl behind is

I know in The Muppet Movie's Full Screen version, you can see a couple of heads in the close-up shots during the final confrontation with Doc Hopper in the western ghost town. Also, throughout the movie you can see Kermit's "asparagussy" parts.

Also, in "Muppets From Space," my friend Ken swears you can see Dave Goelz opperating Gonzo during the studio interview with Miss Piggy. I haven't personally seen this instance, but he says you can see his entire face as Gonzo walks in front of Miss Piggy's podium.

I've noticed on Muppet Magic(Ed Sullivan w/ Muppets),there are a few skits where you can see the puppeteer.
