TV & Film puppetry art by Erica Crooks

 

TV & Film Puppetry art that I drew in late October of last year.

I've been interested in the art of television and film puppetry since childhood. Not only was I a fan, I was curious on how it worked.

Art is more than just entertainment, creativity is magic.

I remember when I was a kid, drawing and trying to figure out how it all worked.

Perhaps such filmmaking techniques slightly differ from how a human being is filmed.

It's important that the puppeteer isn't visible on camera for the most part.

The puppeteer would need to watch a monitor so they can see the puppet performance in real time.

A camera operator might be present if it's a studio production. However with independent filmmaking ( or video making for some ), a video camera set up on a tripod can get a simple scene filmed. 

But all scenes in puppetry filmmaking aren't the same. It can be simple or it can be more complex, depending on what what you want to achieve creatively.

Many times, puppeteers would wear a headband with a microphone but sometimes for puppet characters might be audio recorded ahead of time.

This is a visual general idea of how television / filmmaking works but it can differ in many ways.

A puppet character could be behind a desk with the puppeteer hiding behind it or the set could be built higher so the puppeteer can perform while standing.

 I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Pride Month 2024. As I've mentioned regarding The International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia, etc, same can be said about Pride Month, it's every day, every month, all the time. Even in general, never stop being your true self. To me, the point of humanity is enjoy life just as long as you don't deny that right of others. Everyone deserves to have a happy, prosperous, joyful and secure life. It should be a birth right. Even though the philosophy which I believe is simple, that doesn't mean that I'm not aware of the problems that we have in the world. The point being, this world needs love and peace, and we all need to recognize that simple goal that we all just want to have that happy life as I've just mentioned. This of course includes to the unfortunate continuation of how LGBTQ+ are perceived. So let's continue to not only make the world a better place but to educate and advocate peacefully. LGBTQ+ lives matter too ! We will and shall not be silenced ! All Power To The People ! PEACE !

#lgbtq #lgbtqia #pride #pridemonth #pridemonth2024 #translivesmatter #nonbinary

Even though The International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia, etc was last week, to me and anyone who's LGBTQ+, it's every day. This world needs love but we live in a world of hate, fear, sadness & pain. Next month is Pride Month, and LGBTQ+ shouldn't and will not be silenced. LGBTQ+ activism shall continue and speak out against hate and fear injustice and misinformation, laws against them, especially LGBTQ+ Youth, silenced voices that are false flagged and reported to automative bots on social media, etc. Far-right politics is dangerous. We don't need to live in hate and fear. Despite differences, we are all equal. We all want a happy, peaceful, prosperous life of freedom to enjoy. Let's live in peace and harmony instead of hate and fear !

LGBTQ+ lives matter !

All power to the people !

PEACE !

 The world needs love but unfortunately we live in a world of hate and fear.

Despite differences, we all want a happy, healthy, prosperous and safe life.

The root cause of problems is often anything that violates our right to live a happy life.

I believe world peace is possible, if people want it.

 Happy News Year 2024 Everyone !

 In this day and age of A.I. ( Artificial Intelligence ),

When I think about the Dudley Moore episode of The Muppet Show, it's almost like they predicted the future. 😅

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_407:_Dudley_Moore

Dudley Moore through out the episode shows off the latest in music technology known as M.A.M.M.A. ( Music and Mood Management Apparatus ). Which looks like an A.I. robot in the parody form of Star Wars' R2D2 ( Ironically, Star Wars did guest star on The Muppet Show ).

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/M.A.M.M.A.

Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem 

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Dr._Teeth_and_the_Electric_Mayhem are told to "take five" ( which they mistaken as playing the Dave Brubeck jazz hit song ). They were told to leave as they are replaced with M.A.M.M.A.

Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem go up to M.A.M.M.A. to mock it.

Dr. Teeth : Would you believe this? It's a musical garbage can.

Floyd : Playin' musical garbage. ( laughs ) 

Dr. Teeth : It ain't got that swing when it's played by a thing.

Floyd : Still you will note, that it is being played, and nobody bein' paid.

Dr. Teeth : True, true.

Floyd : Jive.

Even Animal is angry. He tried to attack M.A.M.M.A. and even Dudley Moore through out the episode.

It's one of my favorite episodes. :)

What's also ironic is how we live at a time where "the last and final" Beatles track used A.I., and this episode starts with a funny and weird tribute to The Beatles featuring alien like bug Muppets. ;)

Trans Awareness Week 2023

It's Transgender Awareness Week.

I am a queer non-binary transgender woman.

I am on the autism spectrum / neurodivergent.

I am an individual just like anyone else.

We are all different.

Being different isn't an indicator of who's good vs who's evil.

There's people in this world who are friendly ( some even misunderstood ) while others are bullies who don't care.

That has nothing to do with biological differences. That's about who has authoritarian hierarchical power over others vs those who are oppressed by such bullying.

Same goes with anyone who isn't Transgender. Transgender isn't the problem. It's only a difference and that is all.

To Hell with the hate ! Let's have peace instead and celebrate life together !

Of course, I am not denying the current problems in this world when it comes to literal hate crime, especially those caused by the far-right. I am not denying the problems of people not understanding us and siding with misinformation as truth. I am not denying the problems of economic inequality either.

Instead of people fearing Transgender people, perhaps they need to educate themselves about Transgender people with proper information.

Here's some recommended resources that I know of.

It's " Coming Out Day ", and this year is an anniversary for me.

I've been out as "Non-Binary" for 15 years and "Transgender / Trans Woman" for 10 years.

And I'm still learning about the LGBTQ+ part of myself. I don't find it complicated at all. 

I think life is partially about learning about yourself as well as the world around you.

Life itself isn't one choice or the other, it's what one resinates with best. Always listen to your heart and soul. Never ever allow fear to stop you from being who you are.

Especially if you lived a life that deserved more happiness and peace.

And of course, it's not always easy. Hate crime happens all the time. :( IT SUCKS !

I'm not talking about censoring freedom of speech and expression,  I'm literally talking about bullying and WORSE !

A philosophy that I still believe is that despite biological / cultural differences, all people are equal because they just want a happy, peaceful and prosperous life.

It's often power over someone else's positive freedom that tends to be the root causes of problems philosophically for the most part.

LGBTQ+ LIVES MATTER !

_ Erica

P.S. Happy early Pride 2024. ;)

 Arleen Sorkin ( the original Harley Quinn ) RIP 😢

 This week historically marks the 55th anniversary of the events that would eventually become the " Chicago 7 " trial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Democratic_National_Convention_protests Probably one of the most historic events of the 1960s counterculture era and one of the most historic court cases of all time. It's also what Abbie Hoffman & Jerry Rubin are probably most famous for. "THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING ! " ☮️✌🏻🎭👨🏼‍⚖️

Do must know what the Fediverse is ?

Fediverse isn't just a name, it's something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse Have they done their research ? Here's an intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX_agVMr2r0 as well as Mastodon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPSbNdBmWKE and PeerTube too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJIsiuSdpq8

Meta, Bluesky & whatever new social media platform made by the rich want to be part of the Fediverse. Why ? For profit ? They already dominate the internet !

TWITTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN TOXIC ! So is Meta, Bluesky, etc any better ? Of course not.

I'm still for Fediverse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse for the creative freedom, opportunities & possibilities because with centralized social media / internet, it's scarce. Unfortunately, technology is expensive. We need to remember that the internet isn't just digital television & online shopping. Discovery, research, creative expression, etc. SAVE THE INTERNET ! We end HATE in the world with LOVE !

Save public libraries and make public libraries more PEOPLE FRIENDLY ! Not small and full of snobs. Ones that have meeting rooms, internet, all sorts of things. BIG LIBRARIES ! And of course save the biggest library of all " THE INTERNET " ! #savetheinternet #netneutrality

According to the last time I've checked, " fair use " still exists ! Fair use of copyright law ! Education, freedom of research, commentary, etc. Freedom of expression, speech & the press. THAT INCLUDES THE INTERNET ! It's not just for rich capitalists ! #savetheinternet #fairuse

As an artist, I find discovery very important. It can come in many different ways. From official distribution to fandom word of mouth. This also inspires future artists too. #savetheinternet #popculture #fandom #fairuse #art #creativity #inspiration #educational

Transphobia & any other hate crime is not only evil & cruel bullying, it's stupid. Right wing politics are just like right wing religions, it's worship of hate, fear & authoritarian hierarchical power over others. Despite differences, we all just want peace & freedom ! 🌎☮️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #translivesmatter

International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia 2023 message by Erica Crooks

 

It's International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia ( including non-binary, etc ). Might as well include all marginalized people. Especially when there are LGBTQ+ who are as well. I'm a non-binary, autistic / neurodivergent transgender lesbian woman.

And when it comes to fighting against hate crime, this unfortunately includes inside LGBTQ+ pride communities as well.

LGBTQ+ and any marginalized people, they have the same problems white cishet men do.

Narcissists can be anywhere. 

Despite biological / cultural differences, we all generally want the same thing.

The world needs love, but we live in a world of hate, fear, sadness & pain.

We all want a life of our desires. We all want nothing but good in life.

We want freedom & peace.

If everyone in the world came to that realization, we can finally have world peace. Life would be simple, not complex with authoritarian hierarchical power systems including capitalism, etc.

As we all know, for now, we only got one planet and we are all sharing it together.

PEACE !

_ Erica

There are two kinds of artists. Capitalists & those doing their best surviving the evils of capitalism, are aware of the evils of capitalism, & care about the art & artists MORE than capitalism ! ART IS ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ! NOT JUST YOUR TRASH COMMODITY ! #capitalismkillsart

I support my fellow LGBTQIA+ people & like minded people. Who I don't support are JERKS ! Narcissistic sadistic bullies who hurt vulnerable people. Likewise, the authoritarian hierarchical power / capitalist systems that made them fearful / hateful bullies in the first place.

Right Wingers : They hate / fear drag performance even though it's just one of the oldest forms of theatrical performance arts. 🎭 

Right Wingers : The enemies of WWII HATED political satire against them ! 

Right Wingers : Nixon HATED / FEARED Leftist Hippies ! 

LEFT WINS ! 😎👍🏻☮️

Many love entertainment / art. But how many of them think about all the hard work that goes into it ? It can be expensive. Even if it doesn't look it at times. 😅 Art / Theater / Filmmaking is not as simple as it looks. I know. I'm a filmmaker / artist.  https://www.youtube.com/@Officialericcrooks/

" No one can know what Jim Henson would think. We can only guess. " 

Ok, let's guess ! 

( 1. Study the books, interviews, documentaries, etc. 

( 2. Jim took the MBTI ( The Idealist aka INFP ). 

( 3. Figure out Jim's zodiac, numerology, etc. 

( 4. You can apply this with anyone ! 😉👍🏻
