Jim Henson Company Tour
Thanks to summer alumna Halle Stanford, the Theatre Design and Production students toured The Jim Henson Company in Hollywood last Friday. The group toured the grounds which occupy the former Charlie Chaplin studio. All were delighted to see the production areas for their motion capture animation and the Henson Creature Shop. The day rounded out with a viewing of Mirrormask in their screening room. Everyone left feeling inspired and excited by what they saw. Thanks also to Bret Nelson, another summer alumnus and Henson employee, who helped with our tour. Thank you to Bella for the photos.
