Reel by The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast
The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast@sleeplesscinematicpod If you love puppeteering and/or practical, in-camera effects, the final moments of 1979's 'The Muppet Movie' is a real treat. The pullback shot from Kermit to reveal literally every Muppet that had been introduced up that point took dozens and dozens of puppeteers all crammed into the floor of a soundstage. It's a CGI-free shot that serves as an amazing reminder of the skill and expertise that was regularly employed for a Muppet production, and also really satisfyingly wraps up a delightful movie.

@soyjesusguzman Great video, great info, thanks guys… I just can’t with the glotal fry or affectation the woman does with her voice every time she speaks. It’s maybe a generation thing but I can’t stand women talking like that.

@dramatic_irony2 Strictly speaking most of those muppets that need multiple people are to get their arms and mouth to move, in a scene like this they could probably get away with just one puppeteer and then for smaller muppets you could put one on each hand
