It makes so much sense that a Henson movie is one that flew under the radar for me. I never would have guessed they use the puppet effects on live actors. That’s so cool how well simple practical effects work in movies. I wonder how many we still see in modern movies and just assume they are CGI. The Borg Queen was one I saw on here a while back that blew me away.
I didn’t even see that! I was just reminded of the other, more obvious shot. I might never be able to watch another movie again without being suspicious if the actors elbows are offscreen!
This is insane, I never realized how much of this is happening right before my eyes! The one I posted was the first I notice on my own because it was as obvious as the Swedish Chef. I didn’t even get what Ummthatguy was pointing out until your post gave more context. Guess I was distracted by the bulge!
It is the image I posted. I might be misremembering, maybe it was the from the other episode Inner Light. After that point though, I was constantly on the lookout for more Muppet trek. There was one shot of Riker that was a bit suspicious. 😁
One of my favorite episodes of TNG for no reason other than the shot of Picard playing the flute with some other actors hands operating the instrument holes. When I realized they weren’t his hands I couldn’t un-see “Muppet Picard”.
Also the “no” has the yellow reflection from the graphic above, implying its projecting out.
