These images were sourced from Disney Travel Babble's article on their visit to the set of Age of Resistance!
There were a handful more images of puppet pieces, which I did not have space to include, unfortunately.
The article's introduction is as follows;
"Iโm revising todayโs entry now that I can finally share with you the full story of our visit to the set of Netflixโsย The Dark Crystalย prequel,ย The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which was the genesis ofย The Lurkyloos Do Disneyland Paris in the Snow (So You Donโt Have To)ย trip report! ย Not only has the series just debuted on Netflix, but they also put together aย fabulous making-of documentaryย that allows you to see a lot of what we saw that day but were not allowed to photograph.
Our whole tripโthis once-in-a-lifetime tour of London, Disneyland Paris, real Paris and Scotlandโcame about solely because Netflix gave The Jim Henson Company money to create a prequel toย The Dark Crystal. Honestly, Disneyland Paris would otherwise have been theย lastย international Disney park we visited. As I mentioned in theย intro post, I was just not that into it. And no trip gets planned around this joint unless Iโm into it!
But, as youโll see in the documentary, not only did Netflix give Henson the money for a prequel, they insisted that all the characters beย puppetsโnot the originally pitched idea of half puppets and half CG characters. Which meant that Patrick got to spend nine months working at the Jim Henson Creature Shop in Burbank making hands, arms, bodies, neck sleeves and โbrainsโ (foam head inserts) for Podlings and Gelflings! And it meant that we were able to arrange a visit to the massive set of the show, just outside London.
That morning, weโd arranged another private ride via Blackberry Cars, which was supposed to meet us at 8:45 am but didnโt arrive until 9:15 am, which made me very anxious about reaching the studio out near Slough by 10 am. The driver didnโt apologize, but he did manage to get us there on time via speeding.
When we arrived at the studio, a really nice fellow named Juan gave us hard hats and chic neon yellow vests and led us through a labyrinth (ba-da-bing!) of key-carded corridors to start our tour with the production areas before eventually making our way to set.
We entered through the red door at the back of this shotโฆ"
