No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.
From Jim Henson
I do remember doing shows strictly in black and white, too, so you're right.
NBC was trying to convert all of their local programming to color right away to encourage the sale of the sets, so I barely remember working in black and white, although I do know that I did do it, but there was not a major difference, though.
If anything, there's a difference in working with color in England and the color in the US.
It has always been difficult to get Big Bird to be very pretty. Big Bird in England is much more gorgeous.
We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.
