Muppet Fan Video Mashup from Jeff Yorkes

Greetings, Muppet fans! Today we have a really, really cool fan project for you. As most of you know, the main reason I started The Muppet Mindset was to showcase the work of great Muppet fans. And today's post is a prime example of great Muppet fan work. The other day I got an email from Jeff Yorkes, a huge Muppet fan who works as a freelance film and trailer editor. Which obviously shows in his CINEMASHUP projects, including his mashup of The Muppet Movie and Metallica's "Master of Puppets."

Jeff had this to say to introduce his awesome video:

"I'm a freelance film and trailer editor. When work gets kinda slow--or I just get bored--I make (what I call) CINEMASHUPS, where I recut movies to songs you never knew were totally about that film. As a life-long Muppet fan, this one was a no-brainer. This one's a CINEMINI, as I cut down the full version of the song (at over eight minutes) to a brisk minute and a half! If you enjoy it, check out some of my other ones at jeffyorkes.com or on vimeo at http://vimeo.com/user3544174/videos."




Thanks so much to Jeff Yorkes for sending us this awesome video! Great job, Jeff! We hope to see more great videos from you soon!

NEWS UPDATE: July 2, 2010

Warner Bros. Games, in association with Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop, announced a few weeks ago that they would be releasing video games starring the Sesame Street characters. The first game, "Cookie's Counting Carnival" stars Cookie Monster and the second, "Elmo's A-to-Zoo Adventure" stars Elmo. Each game is available on the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo DS, and the PC. The Wii versions of the games come packaged with a special Cookie Monster or Elmo Wii-Remote cover that hides many of the buttons to make the game-play easier for young children. The intended audience for these games appears to be very young, but as more information is released perhaps we'll find something enjoyable for older fans as well.

A Muppet fan, pseudonym "Bruce Wayne," has posted a YouTube video and a Flickr album chock-full of behind-the-scenes photos from the set of The Muppet Movie. It's an amazing look behind the cameras of the incredibly ornate sets of the film. From Kermit's Swamp to Rowlf's piano bar, the photos here will not disappoint!

Everyone's favorite furry red monster, Elmo, has taken over the UK. Well... UK TV at least. For the past few days, Elmo has been co-hosting This Morning, a morning TV show in the UK. And, as the video posted on his Facebook page shows, he wreaked some hilarious havoc in London. But wait, there's more, Elmo also performed an impromptu, a capella performance of some Beyonce and Alicia Keys while being interviewed on the set. Funny... he doesn't even have a British accent!
