[1] Kriegman holds patents for a method of hybrid animation, known as Shadowmation, which combines high-definition virtual-environments with puppets and animatronics, composited and rendered in real time. The production technique was implemented in The Book of Pooh and It's a Big Big World. [2]

Career and education

Kriegman attended Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont, earning a BA in literature in 1974. [3]

He began his career as a writer, video-artist and performance-artist, under the pseudonym Marshall Klugman. An Evening of Stories and Tricks You Won’t See Anywhere, was performed at Dance Theater Workshop in New York City and surrounding venues. His video work of this period includes, The Marshall Klugman Show (1975) which aired on WNET television. [4] As a short story writer, his work has been published in The New Yorker , Between C & D , the National Lampoon, Glamour, George Meyer's Army Man magazine and Harper’s Bazaar . [5] [1] [6]

The Telephone Stories (1979) is Kriegman's series of audio-plays for the telephone, one of the first installations of dial-in art. [7] In addition to being available on a special phone-line, The Telephone Stories toured museums and galleries around the country, including the High Museum and The Boston Institute of Contemporary Art, after premiering at the Whitney Museum, as the department's first audio-only offering. [8] [9] [10] [11] [7] Kriegman wrote and acted in Operation X segments for the PBS Series Alive from Off Center , which have been featured in the Walker Art Center and The Paley Center exhibits. [12] During this period Kriegman collaborated with Bart Friedman and Nancy Cain of Videofreex on several pieces including "Turkey Dinner" (1982), [13] a precursor to his full length My Neighborhood, funded by the American Film Institute, [14] which aired on WNET/13, and featured a sad sack Kriegman gleefully greeting everyone in his neighborhood, who all ignore him.

[19] After leaving Saturday Night Live his work turned markedly toward children's and young adult television programming.

Mouseterpiece Theater (1983), hosted by George Plimpton, was directed by Kriegman and co-written with Robert Cunniff for The Disney Channel; the show was a spoof on Masterpiece Theatre, but instead of presenting serious works in film, Plimpton would introduce Disney cartoons.

[25] CBS commissioned a pilot for a Clarissa sequel, continuing her story as a young working age adult, but the pilot was not picked up. [26]

Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree (1995), narrated by Kermit the Frog, [27] and Twisted Puppet Theater (1996), had Kriegman writing for puppet characters. [28] Kriegman created the Emmy Award-winning television series, Bear in the Big Blue House (1997), and created and directed, The Book of Pooh (2001), based on the Milne books, both in association with the Disney Channel. [29] Cast with bunraku puppets, both series employed Kriegman's shadowmation technique. [30] Kriegman also wrote for Sesame Street characters in the feature film, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999), co-written with Joey Mazzarino, and produced by The Jim Henson Company. [28]

Kriegman is the creator, executive producer and co-director of It's a Big Big World which aired on PBS Kids from 2006- 2010.

Notes:
  1. Kriegman was not associated with the Bill Nye the Science Guy program, IMDb misreports a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for the show.
  2. Various sources report that Kriegman has won four Daytime Emmy Awards, this was due to some confusion as to whom was included on the Win for Rugrats in the Outstanding Animated Program (1992) category. Kriegman's work on Rugrats was nominated for, Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program, in the same year.
