SOME MORE FRAGGLE MUPDATES!!

Our prop guy Charles has been busy "tinkering" in his workshop today! Hopefully his trusty dog sprocket was there to help!

After fashioning several versions of the bottle cap on Mokey's necklace we have decided on one!! here are some pictures of the various attempts! These were fabricated from plastic! Can you believe it??!!?? Charles is a genius!



And here is our final choice added to the necklace he made to match!!


Here is a photo of Mokey and a close up of the original necklace!


  
 
Finally here are a few photos of his work in progress on Boober's washboard!




Bravo to Charles and his fantastic work!! PRETTY COOL EH?

A BRAND NEW SIDE PROJECT!!

As you may have noticed, things have momentarily slowed down a bit on the Muppet Show project. Hectic schedules and Career changes have briefly haulted the puppet building process for a few weeks. BUT DO NOT FEAR!! I can officially announce that work is begining with our new prop and puppet builders Charles and Kim on our brand new adventure!! A side project to fill the void as work progresses on our muppets, and i think any fan of the muppet show will enjoy it!





STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES AND DETAILS!

SEVERAL NEW GREEN SCREEN BACKGROUNDS AND FOREGROUNDS

Work continues on our backgrounds!

The dressing room has proven to be the hardest task so far!! finding any shots without a guest star smack dab in the middle of the shot is near impossible... so ive composited shots from multiple episodes to create this!







This can serve as stage right or left by simply flipping the photo





The band stand was quite a task as well! Every shot has members of the Electric Mayhem in it, so you are forced to composited visable portions and try to create something seamless. It will no doubt look better with the drum kit and characters superimposed in post production. But for now, it's all we have!














 The piano was a huge challenge! Rowlf is notoriously always seated at his prized instrument and normally has his furry little paws laying on the keys. But i have managed to come up with a few angles for some panning shots.









And last but certainly not least. My favorite so far! This is actually composited from about 3 different shots and colorized matching curtains added in order to maintain the original aspects integrity. The iconic podium of our dear friend Sam the eagle!




Ya really have to use your imagination with some of these to see how the finished product might look! Hopefully you will be forgiving and understand our limitations when you see the project finished!
