Little Shop was the last movie of its kind before CGI. No wonder! It went over budget by around 6 months and David Geffen kept it afloat expecting it to become the next тАШRocky HorrorтАЩ, which it never became. Personally, I think the off broadway play was much better than the movie.
The mechanics were amazing, and too bad, the only day that Jim Henson came to the set, the plant broke, big time. Did you know that one personтАЩs job was to teach Rick Moranis how to film really slowed down moves in his plant scenes, so it would look normal at regular film speed? Never again will money flow like that film demanded.
I so appreciate your humanity. My fellow workers were largely wonderful folks on Little Shop, but the head plant design guy intentionally hired an incompetent woman to manage the workshop, knowing people would complain about her, and not take it out on him, as deadlines and demands became challenging. He gloated about that over beers one day. Unnecessarily reprehensible behavior in my book. Neil Scanlon, the boy wonder who designed the mechanics of the plant, was just wonderful, I might add. HeтАЩs gone on to great things. Anyway, memory lane has been activated. Keep up the great work, and thank you for modelling the humbleness and goodwill you have shown.
What!? I most have watched Little Shop of Horrors...I don't know 50 times on VHS growing up.
