Images from the past....

There were four people in attendance at the Robot Chicken wrap party that were fellow crew members on my first stopmo job back in '95. "Bump In The Night" was a Saturday morning kids show that aired on ABC until Disney pulled the plug. Seeing part of the crew together again got me feeling nostalgic, so I pulled out the photo box to see what I could find. This was the pre-digital age, so taking mass amounts of on set photos wasn't as easy or cost-free as it is now. I was disappointed to find I don't really have many pictures from this great time in my life, but here are a few:

Mr. Bumpy, the star of the show. I remember this is one of the first shots I did using wires to fly an object:



The Closet Monster, an amazing life-sized puppet:



Here I am animating a shot with "Destructo" the robot character. Notice the beefy Mitchell rack-over camera:



Here is a shot of the replacement mouths for Destructo- the puppets on this show were top notch!



Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Misha Klein! This was Misha's first job as well!



There were always Polaroid cameras out on the stages for continuity shots, which were often abused for personal use. This one is for any old "Bump" stage crew out there:



Thanks for indulging in my past with me- now it's time to look ahead!
