And in some ways it was one of the toughest. The pull-ups and push-ups were pretty easy to film, but the sit-ups presented a challage to film since nearly the whole body of Buttons was in view. I do not have the budget of the Muppets, or maybe I should say I do not have a budget at all, so I do not have access to all the special made sets available to those puppeteers. I have to discover the best way to film the puppet without being seen myself. I think things have been working out pretty well so far.<\/p>\n<p>This video happens to be my favorite film of Buttons that has been done so far. I like the way he really seems to be alive and shows the &#8220;pain&#8221; of staying physically strong.
