- In today's special video podcast we take a very basic look at how Jim Henson Company puppeteers use monitors to help them perform. We also give you instructions on how you can do the same thing at home with a television and video camera.
Just start using a monitor for my puppet show on UA-cam, and works great. Thanks for this helping video.
Just started using a puppet on our UA-cam channel and quickly realized how much of an art-form it was! Great respect for those who do this professionally!!
I've been aware of this technique forever. It's great to see that people don't forget even after Henson's death.
Replica of the pixies of labyrinth, it's a dream to have one at least of those characters and I'm willing to pay anything, thank you very much Mr. Henson and thank you for your mistress
I just started a UA-cam and made my own Jim Henson puppet thanks!
Great. Just what the world needs more puppeteers! Awesome, make all these videos. regular pod casts are so bleh and this guy is cuuuutie. Too bad i'm a married woman.
Really cool look behind the scenes, thanks! Fantastic hair on that Grant Muppet, too ;-)
Great video! I've added it to my puppets & puppeteering playlist. I hope you produce some more how-to/tip videos in the future.
I always come back here when I need a reminder
Awesome video Grant!
Thank you very much for posting this video!
(And that is an Awesome armadillo puppet.)

15 - Jim Henson
This is so unbelievably fantastic. Thank you for posting this.
@SylvesterParkview what date did you attend Steve Whitmire's lecture/workshop?
Maybe a silly question, but why not flip the image on the monitor so it matches the puppeteer's direction?
Because it's not flipping the camera. It would look fine on the monitor while recording, but terrible when playing it back.
According to Sesame Street's 40th anniversary book, one engineer tried that, but the puppeteers had been used to working backwards for so long that it became second nature to them.
Awesome!
12 years ago. Wow how time flies. Is that Armadillo still existing or is he toast?
Still existing
Let's count how many times he says "Jim Henson Puppeteer"
Nah, that's Joe The Armadillo. He appears on various behind the scenes features on Muppets DVD's but I don't think that he's been in any movies. The same puppet is now being used on That Puppet Gameshow on BBC one but they've changed his voice (different Muppeteer?) and changed his name to Ian.
Also Used As Dooley The Armadillo In Jim Henson's Animal Show
@mustar8 11 times in the entire video.. with 8 times in the first minute alone. I think he works for the Jim Henson Company... but I am not really sure.
Where can I find a monitor like this? Let alone how do I set it up?
Hello Mr. Jim Henson I would like to congratulate you for such talent and I admire your magic a lot and for making us dream as children, my question is how can I do to know if you can do one or two
That is not Jim Henson
thanks
Gran
heys its the puppet up puppets, google it if you don't know what it is
Isn’t The Amazing Ian from That Puppet Game Show on BBC1?
How to switch the laptop to a monitor, it’s like a camera?
1:00 um and a puppet
so where is the puppeteer that's doing this puppet seen? wasn't this puppet used in Dark Crystal?
I hate the "you all never be a Jim Henson puppeteer intro ...that literally killed the video
I think that was said to help with disappointment. Breaking into something like this will take time and I'm sure there are a lot of steps before hitting a plateau like working for Hensen. Life has many opportunities - beyond Hensen.

@@yosefdemby8792 Isn't it like that for all of us. Many years of effort before it is second nature.
@@Romans15.32 Uh, yeah. That was the point I was trying to make.
@@yosefdemby8792 Well, many ppl never wake up. Never get where they could be.
