The Jim Henson Company, a celebrated name in puppetry for over 70 years, continues to enchant audiences with innovative productions. Their latest venture, Wowsabout!, a musical special for PBS Kids, features Roxy, a lively hedgehog, and Ronald, a nature-loving pig, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Sequoia National Park. Cinematographer Michael Pessah skillfully combines the imaginative world of Henson puppets with real-world settings using the state-of-the-art Sony BURANO camera.

This cutting-edge technology was pivotal in capturing the essence and authenticity of the characters amidst spectacular scenery while overcoming the unique challenges of scale and perspective inherent in puppetry. The production emphasizes realism and creativity, showcasing the intricate interplay between puppeteers and the majestic environment. Through engaging storytelling and stunning visuals, Wowsabout! exemplifies the Henson legacy, blending art and nature in an unforgettable journey, making it a delightful experience for kids and families alike
