Once the writers' strike is settled (which should be soon!) things will pick back up on the project.Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10069428303800554413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-68956658655707743342008-02-08T14:28:00.000-05:002008-02-08T14:28:00.000-05:002008-02-08T14:28:00.000-05:00So is this the "top secret" project that's been in the works...or is there yet something else afoot?

But I was interested in who wrote these and the folks at Muppet Studios were able to help me out there. I don't have a full copy of the call sheet or anything but I was told that aside from Jim and Kirk writing the bits, they also had a pretty decent sized crew – Bill directed and there were six puppteers, multiple cameramen, a puppet wrangler and prop man or two; plus people handeling the lighting, sound and other technical things. These videos are not the result of just 4-5 guys improving and playing around with a camcorder. These are serious (mini) Muppet productions.<BR/><BR/>And yes, you are correct; Jim and Kirk were responsible for the Muppetisms back in 1999. The pair wrote the shorts and Kirk directed.<BR/><BR/>I too agree that it's nice to see Bill directing the Muppets... incidentally he also directed Pepe's Long John Silvers commercials in 2002, the unseen pilot for America's Next Muppet in 2005, the unseen Muppet mockumentary pilot in 2006 and the Tinseltown pilot in 2007. So he's sat in the director's chair before.Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10069428303800554413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-88050882435383370552008-02-08T00:15:00.000-05:002008-02-08T00:15:00.000-05:002008-02-08T00:15:00.000-05:00Thanks Greg.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear Jim and Kirk worked on these. Didn't they write the Muppetisms for Odyssey too? Some of these bits have the same feel to them. I really like 'em. It's also cool to hear that Bill directed the videos. Do you know anyone else that worked on these?bradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-53937253884784195202008-02-08T00:12:00.000-05:002008-02-08T00:12:00.000-05:002008-02-08T00:12:00.000-05:00Sorry Brad, but I don't know - however I will try to find out and will let you know if I find out. The information on the weekly updates came direct from the Director of Creative Affairs at Muppet Studios, however I do not know all the nitty-gritty details of how the updates will be happening –they will be following a hard scheduled of posting the new in routine of a specific day of the week, or the new bits may just continue to trickle out randomly with at least some new stuff being added at least each week. However I have been told on good authority that there will be new content up every week for the next couple of months and they are already planning to shoot more.Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10069428303800554413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-26695857536824564602008-02-07T23:11:00.000-05:002008-02-07T23:11:00.000-05:002008-02-07T23:11:00.000-05:00Greg, do you know when the new content will be posted each week?Bradnoreply@blogger.com
