This guy invented the muppets. Okay, he invented11200:08:12,180 --> 00:08:14,180the muppets and11300:08:14,260 --> 00:08:19,620They have been the biggest like some of the most famous and just the most consistent11400:08:19,620 --> 00:08:24,980most consistent puppet company puppeteers, I guess puppet artists, uh11500:08:25,380 --> 00:08:30,340Throughout history, um, it's different from ventriloquism. It's different from animation11600:08:30,900 --> 00:08:33,460It's puppets and it's its own vibe11700:08:34,100 --> 00:08:36,580and the innovation that they bring is11800:08:37,300 --> 00:08:41,860um something that I didn't know that that was going on so it begins with11900:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,460Mechanics it begins with like mechanical puppeteering. So12000:08:45,460 --> 00:08:52,020So there I guess like for like the muppet movie, I guess this thing goes all the way back to the 70s when they did the12100:08:52,260 --> 00:08:54,260When they did the first muppet movie12200:08:54,740 --> 00:08:56,740They would have people like doing like the hand12300:08:57,540 --> 00:09:03,220The hand puppet stuff but for like certain wide shots, I guess they had like totally12400:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,820Electronic puppets they built it was pretty much like you could control the animatronic puppet pretty much12500:09:11,220 --> 00:09:13,300and that's12600:09:13,300 --> 00:09:18,340That begins the journey of these people trying to figure out how to do12700:09:19,060 --> 00:09:25,540Like puppets in a really efficient way in a really cool fun way that can just have you just make a story12800:09:25,620 --> 00:09:29,700Just tell a story so you don't have to worry about too many logistics. So12900:09:30,420 --> 00:09:36,020Check out so this is brian henson. This is the son of jim henson and he's in charge of the company13000:09:36,100 --> 00:09:41,780I think he's a puppeteer himself. He's speaking with adam savage and they're just going through this whole thing13100:09:41,780 --> 00:09:46,100They're going through the history of what this process has been13200:09:46,900 --> 00:09:49,380You've been working on this technology you said since since13300:09:50,180 --> 00:09:52,180since the muppet movie13400:09:52,260 --> 00:09:57,700The very first one would have been the muppet movie in 76 and we started using them13500:09:59,300 --> 00:10:02,580More regularly in fraggle rock. My dad would do it to get13600:10:03,380 --> 00:10:05,380Because he couldn't afford the puppeteers13700:10:05,620 --> 00:10:08,820So in the fraggles when you'd see like 20 of them all singing13800:10:08,820 --> 00:10:13,780They would be ganged in in five so that one puppeteer would be using one control13900:10:14,020 --> 00:10:17,780And it would be working that one that one that one and that oh never five in a row14000:10:17,780 --> 00:10:24,500No, no, no, no, no, they may be sprinkled about and so that you know, three puppeteers could work 15 background singing fraggles14100:10:24,820 --> 00:10:30,260So we actually started using that waldo control pretty extensively there14200:10:30,820 --> 00:10:33,700What I love about this is I mean famously pixar14300:10:33,700 --> 00:10:40,980Famously pixar worked carefully writing software so that people who didn't know computers could animate the characters for their films14400:10:42,420 --> 00:10:46,020I was coming here thinking I would make this point that you guys are doing the same thing here14500:10:46,020 --> 00:10:50,520But it's actually more like you guys understand how to make characters14600:10:51,220 --> 00:10:56,740Come to life and you've you've come up with a digital way to give them all of this range of motion14700:10:57,380 --> 00:11:02,340Yeah, the stuff we're going on into this is really interesting. This is combining puppets and14800:11:02,340 --> 00:11:08,500And motion capture and there's been examples of this in a in a lot of different marvel movies14900:11:08,980 --> 00:11:10,180um, it's15000:11:10,180 --> 00:11:15,460Like the only other example we've had of motion capture and animation is either in a video game15100:11:15,780 --> 00:11:22,100Or when a celebrity is in a booth and they have the motion capture dots and and they're recording their face15200:11:22,580 --> 00:11:25,220As they're reading the lines which has always made sense15300:11:25,700 --> 00:11:31,620And there's they've always connected it back to like the old style of animating like like the old like snow white15400:11:31,620 --> 00:11:37,860Like the way they animated snow white in the 40s or 30s was because like like they had a woman in studio15500:11:38,260 --> 00:11:42,580Doing the dancing and then they would animate to that they would try to match that human15600:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,460uh now we have15700:11:45,460 --> 00:11:48,760This this like these puppets these these muppets15800:11:49,460 --> 00:11:53,240Uh, we we have this this son of a muppet brian henson15900:11:53,780 --> 00:11:58,100Uh, this guy is just really talking about it like like he has this history in him16000:11:58,580 --> 00:12:00,100um16100:12:00,100 --> 00:12:04,900And he has this contraption.

I was like, okay18700:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000henson company this is18800:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,440innovative18900:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,640we got the system working in the19000:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,480Mid 90s, but we were working with computers that were onyx19100:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,320H or something back then and they were a million bucks a pop19200:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,120and because we were19300:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,400Because we were doing such sophisticated stuff they gave us like two or three of them sure to to use19400:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,960And then you know, then they said wow, it's really amazing. Are you going to buy five or six?19500:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,840Actually, we can't really afford any19600:14:14,840 --> 00:14:21,640So so for a while so for a while we stopped we had to just stop the development and wait like five years19700:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,640Until the computers were no longer a million dollars, but were now19800:14:26,340 --> 00:14:32,12080 000 or so and once they got down there then we were able to start really working this way and um19900:14:32,680 --> 00:14:38,520Originally, we had a proprietary viewer where it was a quite a low low resolution image20000:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,200We need a very real-time image. We need there to be no lag in the system20100:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,400No delay because otherwise the puppeteers can't work right and that's always been true right from the beginning20200:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,840And so we already had a leg up when it came to real-time animation because we were always thinking in real time20300:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,960And it has to be real time. We can't if there's more than a20400:14:58,920 --> 00:15:06,600Six frame delay it becomes pretty impossible to puppeteer, right?
