If one were to hold the belief American media operates free from the grip of its board of directors and political puppeteers, steering the narrative to suit their whims rather than illuminating the truth, one would indeed be quite mistaken. There is no media for independent thought.

"The directors used puppeteers to form Rocky in order create a life-like, empathetic character who could interface with Gosling – even though the alien doesn’t have a face or expressions. They called Gosling the sixth puppeteer."

(They probably didn't use only a puppet, we'll see)

We had a word for directors that never took suggestions: puppeteers. Sooner or later, people stopped showing up for auditions when they were directing. I've got stories, but I think everyone who's ever done stagework does.

I need a directors cut of Project Hail Mary where you can see all the puppeteers moving Rocky.

The Gizmoplex COULD have been a talent farm, with a dozen corollary projects in the works at all times, developing the next generation of writers, riffers, puppeteers, prop builders, directors, etc.

It was a missed opportunity and it might not ever come again.

Agreed. The show doesn't write itself. Writers, directors, puppeteers and set designers all need to be paid. Sesame Street can't self fund.

anyways. in the sales pitch for the stage manager software includes the line “no difficult puppeteers, demanding actors, or moody directors needed,” which is… interesting. It feels like a subtle dig at fiona, doesn’t it?

“Writers, directors, actors, showrunners, puppeteers, visual effects artists — all are suppliers. The fewer buyers competing to hire them, the lower their compensation and the narrower their opportunities.“

In the age of CGI over saturation, #ThePitt pulled off one of the most realistic birthing scenes I’ve ever seen on TV utilizing all practical effects. It’s an engineering feat that shows directors don’t have to rely solely on digital effects to make a scene work. www.vulture.com/article/the-...
It Takes Two Puppeteers and a Custom Rig to Birth a Baby on The Pitt
TV’s most realistic birth sequence required an orthopedic chair, a silicone vagina, and some piano wire.

I was worried that Rocky would be all CGI, so I'm really stoked that he was moved by puppeteers, and they only used CGI when it was impossible for puppeteering. He will probably look and move differently than described in the book, but I am optimistic! Andy and the directors are all super excited!

Some of the worker-owners at MaxFun shared their thoughts on MaxFun's transition to a co-op! Check out some quotes here, or the whole interview over at maximumfun.org/news/get-to-...
C.N. Josephs, Communications Specialist, 4 years at MaxFun. Question: What do you think the future of MaxFun will look like now that we're a worker-owned co-op? Answer: I think our future is bright. I think that there are a lot of good things coming. MaxFun has always been dedicated to uplifting artists and helping our communities, and I think that being a worker-owned co-op is going to give us even more opportunities to do that. Kira Gowan, Ad Operations Specialist, 6 years at MaxFun. Question: What was your reaction when you first learned that MaxFun was becoming a coop? Answer: I was excited; I thought it was a cool direction for us to go in, and that it seemed like it made a lot of sense based on who we are as a company. Marissa Flaxbart, Producer, 2 years at MaxFun. Question: What’s your favorite thing about working at Maximum Fun? Answer: I get to meet and work with amazingly talented and interesting people all the time. Beyond my smart, funny co-workers, there are the hosts of my shows, who’ve become a big part of my life; the hosts of other excellent shows on the network; the incredible guests I get to book for my shows, from film critics to puppeteers to acclaimed directors; and the audience who love and support our shows—a group I was already a part of before I worked here. Palmira Muniz, Producer, 7 months at MaxFun. Question: What does it mean to you to be a worker-owner at a cooperative media company? Answer: When I heard about MaxFun becoming a cooperative, I was even more excited to join the team early this year. Starting a new job at a company is risky because you don't really know the work culture until you're fully in it, but that piece of info gave me a peace of mind.
