💁🏻‍♀️ 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?

Greatest special effects timing in a movie EVER -- in The Bourne Identity, there's a scene set in a Paris apartment. After a short buildup where Bourne is responding to cues we don't see or hear, creepy in itself, an assassin breaks in through a large window with a tremendous crash.

I've watched the movie quite a few times. I KNOW its coming. And every single time, it gives me a shock. Not sure how that is done.
Any movie experts who can explain this? Is there some timing rule that this cleverly breaks?
