💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐸🚲 How did Kermit ride a bicycle when his puppeteer was hidden? This #video takes a look at the brilliant practical effects that brought Muppets into real-world settings before #CGI existed.

From mirror illusions to radio-controlled mechanisms, each solution shows how creative constraints generate ingenious #innovations. Jim Henson even spent three hours in an aluminum canister underwater to film Kermit in his swamp.

Help me out, Fediverse hive mind.

1. Four camera angles on the same performance. No multiple takes.
2. Each camera angle has a different colored background
3. Videotaped in 1978, so green screen technology would not be this precise looking

How did they do a different colored back drop for each camera angle?

The first Jurassic Park still holds up.

I don't know if that means what they did was exceptionally well done (it was) or that so many new movies do shitty CGI (they are) but yeah.... Some of the skin textures could be a little more detailed, but fuck me, there's a reason that movie set the standard for CGI for 10 years to come.
