On August 5th, 2013, my friends and I partook in an Adventures by Disney trip that took us to Hollywood and Disneyland. One of the stops was the Jim Henson Studios. We learned about the history of the studios (originally owned by Charlie Chaplin), their body of work, learned how different puppets are made and controlled, and finally the tour ended with a demonstration with puppeteer Grant Baciocco (of Jim Henson Studios podcast fame). Yours truly got to participate in the demonstration!
The booby bird I used was seen in shows like The Animal Show and Bear in the Big Blue House. Video shot by my friend Kelvin Cedeno.
