This week’s episode features what might be my favorite “Footsteps to Flight.” This one has Granny Smith as the sidekick to Johnny on a late-night talk show. But that’s not the best part. It’s the scene-stealing portrait that cracks me up so much!
When we shot this segment, we had to do the whole thing twice. Once for Johnny and Granny talking, and then again with the close up of the portrait (because the puppeteer and voice of Lincoln had to stand right behind the portrait to operate the mouth up and down. Then it came down to tricky editing to match everything up! I think it worked pretty well, and it’s as fun to watch as it was to make.
