Screen grabs from ‘A Crystal calls’ The Dark Crystal, Age of resistance making-of documentary on #netflix

Featuring our journey of ‘Lore’, initially a character that was to be 100% CGI, but instead he was successfully delivered as a practical puppet, Go team #Creatureshop 🤙🏻. Images include, on set with LORE before and after post production puppeteer removal, Paul and @zosiass in the rehearsal room with lead ‘Lore’ puppeteer Damien Farrell and camera test footage with Paul and @zosiass puppeteering early ‘Lore’, an experience we will never forget.... We really love that pile of Rocks!

‘It was a great honour to be the Senior fabricator working on this character and being so involved in the whole process, from the make, early test puppeteering and seeing it through to looking after the guy on the shoot, accompanied by Big Z and the rest of the #creatureshop of course’ 💪🏻 x #TEAMLORE
