Trivia / Time Piece

• Doing It for the Art: Like almost every project Jim ever created, however this one in particular is considered to be his most personal pet project ever. Jim himself even noted the reason he did this film was to experiment with different techniques of filming, timing, and editing — he even actually noted exactly how many frames of film each sequence should take.
• Reality Subtext: While it's never been confirmed or denied (and now never will be), Muppet associates Frank Oz and Jerry Juhl believed that this film may have reflected Jim's feeling of there not being enough time for him to finish everything he set out to accomplish, a feeling that stuck with Jim all throughout his life since the death of his older brother in a car accident at an early age.
  Frank Oz: Not like he was feeling his mortality or a premonition that he would die young or anything like that — but he realized that he just didn't have an infinite amount of time to do all the things he wanted to do.
