Adam Savage Learns How Fraggle Rock's Doozers Are Built and Performed!

Adam Savage went to the Henson company, learned Adam how the Muppets come to life, got a lesson on the Henson Digital Puppetry System, learned how full bodies characters work, and he's back to see how some of the smallest Henson characters come to life.

The original Fraggle Rock premiered in 1983, and it was Jim Henson's intention that the Doozers, one of the series' hallmark (and tiny) characters, be puppeteered in much the same way as a normal hand puppet.

Jim Henson's Creature Shop creative supervisor Peter Brooke and animatronics supervisor John Criswell walk Adam through the evolution of these characters' mechanics and electronics since those early days, and even let Adam operate a Doozer himself!

Adam not only learned about how Fraggle Rock's Doozers are built, he spoke directly with Architect and Cotterpin Doozer about how they approach their performances on the series! (Well, veteran puppeteers John Tartaglia and Donna Kimball HELPED, but still.)

Adam Savage Learns About Full Body Puppeteering at Henson's Creature Shop!

First Adam Savage posted a video from his trip to the Henson company and learned Adam how the Muppets come to life, then he got a lesson on the Henson Digital Puppetry System, and now he's back with a look at how full bodies characters work. 

While Adam has some experience with full body puppets (Totoro, Revenant Bear), his costumes weren't made to wear for hours on end, nor did they include heavy animatronics. At Jim Henson's Creature shop, creative supervisor Peter Brooke takes Adam through the designing and building of Junior Gorg from Fraggle Rock, while performer Morgana Ignis demonstrates how to bring the beloved character to life!

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!
