The Budd Company
"The Bull Session"

November 14-15 1978

We went to Detroit to shoot a HR video for the Budd Company, called "The Bull Session". This was the first time I had gone out of town to work with Bill - and it was the day after I started working full-time as a Programmer Trainee at Brunswick Corporation.

I only remember a few things from the entire trip - Detroit wasn't a nice place to be, the airport wasn't the greatest, and I worked with two other puppeteers and I can't for the life of me remember their names! The characters that were in the shoot were The Old Professor, and the Thumptwangers, but the real oddity was Mother Plumtree - Bill had re-painted her so that she was African American! Gave a whole different spin on the same character!

I did take some pictures during the shoot.
