Adam Savage’s Tested Discovers Henson Digital Puppeteering!

Last week Adam Savage’s Tested posted a video about his trip to the Henson Creature Shop were John Tartaglia and Donna Kimball, along Gobo and Mokey Fraggle showed Adam how the Muppets work.

He's now posted another video, this time Brian Henson and Drew Massey show Adam Henson's digital puppetry system. 

While it may be best known for its mastery of hand puppetry, the Jim Henson Company is also a place of major technological innovation. At Henson Studios, Brian Henson, Chairman of the Board at the Jim Henson Company, and puppeteer Drew Massey give Adam a demo of the Henson Digital Performance System, a proprietary system that allows performers to puppeteer digital characters in real time. Be sure to watch to the end, when the controls are handed over to Adam himself to try!
