"Ulitsa Sezam" (Russian "S.S.") Interview

[Buck-Beaver]

Hi all!

I was doing some research for work and stumbled across an interview with the American Producer of "Ulitsa Sezam" (The Russian version of "Sesame Street") on a website called "Russian Webgirls."

I can't find the 1st page online, but most of it is there and its an interesting article if you want to learn a little about the Russian Sesame Street.

Check it out here.

I worked on Ulitsa Sezam last year as well as Alam Simsim (Egypt). I have nifty products from their promotions with KFC. So if ya'll want some co-production gossip, let me know. I have several ins....

Sigh. I do miss working there....

another note

Sorry i just noticed how you were talking about the sign being upside down. On Alam Simsim you'll notice half the graphics have the numbers (that replaced where CTW used to be) as 321 and some as 123 (in egyptian, of course). That's because we kept switching back and forth! They read left to right over there so we had it 321, but at last count we decided to keep it 123. It was nifty.
