Wholeheartedly agree! I've been tuned into Tested since the very beginning, and out of everything that has been posted this video (and series) has made me say WOW out loud more times than anything. You have to admire Jim's tenacity for wanting to do something a specific way and then physically creating the ability for it to be accomplished. Hats off to anyone who has ever worked for JHCS, past present and future. The drive to innovate and keep this magic alive is something everyone needs to appreciate!
One of my favorite things about anything from the Henson studio is they don't dumb things down, they talk to kids like intelligent beings. And even after all these years, they still are full of love and enthusiasm for their craft.
I'm Loving all these Henson videos recently. It's amazing to see how this all works, with Adam's great questions and obviously the massive love all these folks have for there work and Jim's work that led to it all
It was great how forthcoming they were with their knowledge and the internal functionality. No gatekeeping at all. That the Doozers are so small and yet so expressive is amazing, and adorable! Every one of these videos I can't help but think how pleased Jim would be with both the forward progress but also how much his original internal designs still inspire the design of the modern inner workings.
I had the pleasure of seeing some of these at The Atlanta Centre For Puppetry Arts decades ago. At the time, I had no idea that they had put in a Jim Henson Installation. If you've never seen a grown man cry in joy in public, because he got to see a few puppets, you haven't seen true happiness. Right next to them was an installation of Emit Otter! One of the best days ever! If you're every in the Atlanta area, DO NOT miss out on this gem. It's easily overlooked in such a crowded city, but it's there! For you more mature folks, they used to perform shows that were for adults only and they served cocktails. Definitely one of the best places ever to take a loved one. The tour is self guided and constantly changing! I even got to see an original Skeksis and "Pigs in Space"! Thank you for sharing this with us! True fans are loving this!
I will never not love Adam's enthusiasm, curiosity, and genuine love for seeing how other makers do their craft. His joy in this series has radiated from the screen!
I just have to thank you, Adam. After many years of careful consideration, I began my academic journey in pursuit of an engineering and manufacturing degree. You and the Mythbusters crew were a massive influence and I doubt that I'd be on this track if it wasn't for you guys. You have my undying gratitude.
Doozers have always been my favourite Henson creation (I still have a book called "The Doozer Who Didnt" from when I was a kid - spoiler alert that's how Fraggles are created!) and I have introduced my 4yr old daughter to Fraggle Rock and she is MESMERISED! I cant wait for the new series.
i remember when fraggle rock first came out and had no idea they were still filming episodes. back then the doozers were what made the show for me as a teenager even though it was intended for children.
After over 40 years, I now know what the inside of a Doozer Muppet looks like! I’m in absolute awe at the marvel of engineering that goes into these works of art.
@@UnicornFairy42 I've only seen a short clip from the show, so I have to say, "no," unfortunately. Jim Henson always liked to stay busy, so I haven't been able to catch everything.
Man, this channel is so fabulous. You'd never be able to have this kind of content on commercial TV. In-depth and nerdy, not cut together to be as exciting as possible to a mainstream audience who you can't rely on to understand why it's cool without bashing them over the head with the basics. Talk about a great second act for Adam!
I am so loving this series of puppeteering videos. Thank you so much for sharing, particularly to Adam for being the perfect interviewer for making of any kind.
You should do a video on how to make a simple hand puppet, everyone could make. I'd love for you to make your own Adam Savage hand puppet, so people could get an idea how to customize their puppet to resemble themselves or maybe their favorite person.
I really enjoy these videos where Adam explores something particularly nostalgic for me! I've been fascinated by anything from Jim Henson my whole life, but especially as a kid.
This series is making me miss the Jim Henson Creature Shop challenge more and more. That, and Face-Off. They were both such great looks at how everything goes on behind the scenes.
Doozers were my favorite characters in the show...and they made them look so tiny. It always amazed me as a kid. I could get how they animated the Fraggles but the Doozers were somehow...magical...in how they hid the way the operators made them move so well.
@@UnicornFairy42 That’s what I thought. Anyway, in response to your question, no, never seen it (I’m not a fan of *all* Jim Henson stuff, let alone characters).
specifically for the parts shown in the video, Printing with Engineering Resin is elevating the whole process, as with the right material its as strong as an injection molded part.
Thank you for these in-depth looks behind the scenes at the Creature Shop. Jim Henson, his team and his Muppets were a big part of my childhood and spending time with my Dad.
I love that Henson's Waldo mechanism has a tongue inside the 'mouth' part and it serves no purpose. A genius but never lost his sense of playfulness. Amazing guy.
John! I remember seeing him for the first time on Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge! Dad and I never missed an episode and I always loved seeing John. Thanks for visiting the Creature Shop and posting these videos, Adam
Cool seeing everyone nerding out over puppets in the comment section lol. I'm not into puppets but it's awesome seeing how technical they are and how much goes into them, awesome.
Mr. Savage, I LOVE your videos from the Muppets! I am so envious of all you got to do and play with! Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you!
When i was a kid the doozers used to blow my mind!!!!! How did they do it?! Watching this is just amazing, even though they are beautifully crafted puppets the skill is with the creators and puppeteers! Loved this Adam, great vid.
It's crazy to think that we've gotten to the point where animatronics can be controlled remotely. It's still shocking to me to see how much puppeteering has advanced over the years. Being a fnaf fan you always see people talk about the older animatronics and how half of the stuff in the games can't be done irl, and yet here we are present day with remote controlled puppets and suits that when compared to ages old creations, seem like a dream due to the technology. Loving this series so far!
I hope you have some shots if not a video of John’s tool vest/ apron!!! Talk about first order retrieval! I’m curious about the part of his apron on his shoulders and attachment.
I grew up with the Many Creations of the Jim Henson Creature Shop. I can truly appreciate seeing you explore and learn about what goes into this amazing process. Thank You So Very Much 😎
@@tested Well congrats! I'm a genie. (No, I'm actually a 47 year old man who's sad he never followed his actual childhood dream of working with Muppets. If I was a genie, this wouldn't have been an issue due to the whole "wishes" thing.)
In reality, Jim Henson was ahead of his time with his inventions connected to puppetry/muppetry. His workshop, along with his son Brian, has kept Jim alive for future generations. I grew up with Seasame Street, transitioned to the Muppets and to the Fraggles but the characters are iconic and everyone has a favorite. Mine is Grover from SS, Fozzie Bear from the Muppets, and Red from the Fraggles.
The one thing that made me adore WALDOs was a short clip from a Fraggle Rock behind the scenes show of Kathryn Mullen talking to her Doozer character with a WALDO. For some reason that small thing made me absolutely adore the devices.
Growing up with these characters, and now seeing how it was done. Is so amazing! I cant believe they did all this work to make kids like me happy!💯🙌🏽🙏🏽
They're getting better at making these animatronics resemble real and identifiable puppets, and they're continuing Jim Henson's dream on. Jim Henson would be proud of what they've done! The logical next step would be to have these puppets walk around entirely by remote control. Difficult? Nothing is impossible, the only limitation is the time one has on hand to make it happen! Just my 2c worth! 😊👍

COTTERPIN! My fave! My 52 year old heart is so happy to watch thig. I loved the fraggles so much
I have so much respect for the Henson Studio's philosophy of combining cutting-edge tech with traditional methods and artistry.
Fraggle Rock was my childhood. Such great memories!

Of all the doozers they could of used to demonstrate with, they let him puppet Cotterpin! What an honor!
I love these videos. The Jim Henson Creature Shop folks are real magic makers, and it brings such a smile to my face to see what they are doing.
I know someone who met Jim Henson, she said he was so nice and really kind! Sad loss!
I’m living vicariously through you on being able to see all this cool Henson puppeteering stuff! Love love love these videos!
Adam is like a child in a candy shop. His energy is palpable. ❤💓🖖
Sometimes I gasp because he's a little rough with things when he gets excited.

Plot twist: the puppets are actually alive and just syncing and playing along when the humans move their hands. Adam has been bamboozled.
Plot twist twist:
Adam was never there; that was a life-sized Adam-shaped Doozer operated from off-camera...
😉😁
I grin for the entire duration of these videos.
So glad! That was us that entire day.

So much of my childhood in these videos. I sing the Fraggle Rock theme to myself almost daily. Haha
These Henson Co videos are simultaneously delighting me and making me CRAZY FKN JEALOUS!! 😂
#same !
Love the Fraggles, Doozers too but seeing The Country Bears in the back was just the icing on the cake for me🤣♥️
I must thank you on behalf of myself and everyone else who lives on Portland! We are all fraggles, and hippies until the end xx
The waldo in remote devices, named after the character Waldo from the story of the same name by Robert A Heinlein!
The reverence Adam has for this legacy is so relatable. It's wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I love how Adam's inner child comes out when checking out all the Jim Henson stuff
Ways art and science interact and feed off each other is super interesting to me, so these Creature Shop videos have been facinating
There is so much clever use of off the shelf tech in Jim's puppeteering!
Builder learns how the builders build the other builders.
Thank you for these in-depth looks behind the scenes at the Creature Shop. Jim Henson, his team and his Muppets were a big part of my childhood and spending time with my Dad.
The doozers were my favorite when my kids watched Fraggle rock. I''m not ashamed to admit that either. What a great job to have.
"It's a delight." is exactly right
The Doozers are the best part about Fraggle Rock. It’s cool seeing more about them.
I love that Henson's Waldo mechanism has a tongue inside the 'mouth' part and it serves no purpose. A genius but never lost his sense of playfulness. Amazing guy.
The Doozers were my favorite part of the original Fraggle Rock.
Henson was a genius. Loved his work, it made my childhood
John! I remember seeing him for the first time on Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge! Dad and I never missed an episode and I always loved seeing John. Thanks for visiting the Creature Shop and posting these videos, Adam
Speaking of incredible creature animatronics, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) is top 3 in my list.
All the Fraggle Rock related videos have my young heart soaring!! Such incredible machines!!
Thank you for these videos Adam, absolute treasure seeing more inside of Henson's
I love how Adam always has that 'kid in a sweetshop' look and enthusiasm to him
Cool seeing everyone nerding out over puppets in the comment section lol. I'm not into puppets but it's awesome seeing how technical they are and how much goes into them, awesome.

I love the never ending wonder of these videos. Jim Henson changed the world.
I remember Fraggle Rock. 🙋🏻♂️ I used to love it as a child. 😁
these are some of my favorite tested videos. ones where adam goes to film industry workshops and film shoots.
Really cool thanks Adam and the Tested team Tested team.
I'm geeking out a little over the Country Bear heads they have in the background. Also, the Doozers continue one of the cutest little workers ever.
These puppet explorations are always so charming!

Really cool how the OG Waldo even has a tongue! You can tell a puppeteer was responsible for the creation of that device.
i loved tge stuff the doozers built with and the fraghles ate it looked like cristal straws and always wanred to try some as a kid 😊
The doozer constructions are made out of processed radishes.
Love all these Fraggle Rock videos and love how open they share the details about all these characters! Great inspiration! :)
I love that the original Henson waldo that Adam was using has a pink tongue in it.
I hope you have some shots if not a video of John’s tool vest/ apron!!! Talk about first order retrieval! I’m curious about the part of his apron on his shoulders and attachment.
My favorite show as a kid especially because I got to watch it at my grams house.
I grew up with the Many Creations of the Jim Henson Creature Shop. I can truly appreciate seeing you explore and learn about what goes into this amazing process. Thank You So Very Much 😎
fraggle were my childhood. i love to see how it worked then and how it works now
I know the movie got mixed reviews but seeing the Country Bears in the background there is such a treat!
Could you do a year of nothing but Muppet behind the scenes? Please and Thank You.
We wish!!!!

So weird... I was watching a video from the 80s about how they puppeteered the Doozers just YESTERDAY!
It is amazing how much of this is made from parts that I use on RC airplanes but in a much more creative application.
Heck we use the same receiver.
I grew up with Henson puppeteering. Absolutely brilliant.
I'd love a video that goes into detail of all of the tools in the shop. Even a silent slow pan across every tool would be squee.
Adams tombstone “ A kid in a candy store”. Thank you Adam for taking us with you to your candy stores !!
yeah the doozers looked so alive in that show, always wondered how they could build such small and intricate puppets
So nice to learn about one of my favorite show of that time!
As a kid i was always fascinated with Doozers.. i was amazed and how they moved. Now after 30 over years I realise now that it's done by geniuses.
5:28 The fact that he's moving his hand in sync with his voice... :D
Loved Fraggle Rock as a kid!!
And I now want to see a Adam Savage Doozer.
Fraggles always ate their hard work. It was funny and sad all in one. Perfect entertainment.
Backstage Henson is fantastic ❤ I hope Adam got references from da bears. Those were some of my favorite builds 😊
Fraggle Rock man that takes me back.
THANK YOU, Adam! Utterly Fascinating! Triggered many memories.

Omf Fragile rock was a big thing for me when I was a kid. I loved it. I have all the DVD's of all the old episodes.
13:27 The detail on those models!! I've bought regular sized clothes off Amazon with worse sewing than these guys have on their jackets!
This series at Henson is fantastic
One more video from that day to come!
