Career

In 1998, he conceived the idea for Little Airplane Productions.{{cite news |title=Little Airplane Productions - Greenburger Associates |url=http://greenburger.com/client/little-airplane-productions/ |work=Greenburger.com |publisher=Sanford J. Greenburger Associates |accessdate=19 April 2016}} The company was initially a joint effort between Selig and Lori Shaer (née Sherman).{{cite web |title=Animation Solo to Studio |url=http://www.awn.com/animationworld/animation-solo-studio |work=Animation World Network |date=23 February 2007}} Until 2005, the studio's works were solely live-action. Oobi was the first original series produced by the company; it began as a series of interstitials in 2000 and later ran for two seasons of half-hour episodes.{{cite news|title=Oobi Does It: The creator of a popular children's show discusses his low-tech success|url=http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6153394/site/newsweek|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20041027075904/http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6153394/site/newsweek|archivedate=October 27, 2004|last=Gostin|first=Nicki|date=October 1, 2004|accessdate=March 13, 2016|work=Newsweek|publisher=IBT Media|via=MSNBC News|url-status=dead}} The series was heavily inspired by Selig's time as a Sesame Street writer; he based its puppet characters on a training method used by Muppet performers learning to lip-sync, in which they use their bare hands and a pair of ping pong balls instead of a puppet. In 2003, Selig wrote and directed a short film titled The Time-Out Chair. Written and directed by Selig, the film premiered at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival{{cite magazine |title=Talking Shop with Josh Selig |url=http://www.littleairplane.com/press/BigAppleParent/index.html |publisher=Big Apple Parent |date=1 September 2004 |access-date=20 April 2016 |archive-date=5 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170305011009/http://www.littleairplane.com/press/BigAppleParent/index.html |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |title=Josh Selig, Little Airplane Productions |url=http://gothamist.com/2006/01/24/josh_selig_litt.php |work=Gothamist.com |publisher=Gothamist LLC |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160412144200/http://gothamist.com/2006/01/24/josh_selig_litt.php |archivedate=2016-04-12 }} and was later acquired by the Museum of Modern Art.{{cite web |title=Wonder Pets Creator Has Time Out with Live-Action Short |url=http://www.awn.com/news/wonder-pets-creator-has-time-out-live-action-short |work=Animation World Network |date=13 January 2011}}{{cite web |title=See 'The Time-Out Chair' at MoMA's Family Films Series on Saturday, January 15 |url=https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/tony-kids-blog/see-the-time-out-chair-at-momas-family-films-series-on-saturday-january-15 |work=Time Out New York |date=14 January 2011}}{{cite book |author=Máire Messenger Davies |title=Children, Media and Culture |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8QtFBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA164 |date=1 April 2010 |publisher=McGraw-Hill Education |isbn=978-0-335-24006-7 |pages=164–}} Profits from Oobi allowed Selig to create an animation division at Little Airplane, leading it to shift to an animation-based studio.{{Cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2007/04/22/kids-corner-qa-wonder-petss-josh-selig/|title = Kids' Corner Q&A: The Wonder Pets's Josh Selig| magazine=Entertainment Weekly }}
