Jim Henson and Brian Froud are two of my greatest inspirations.
This site is an attempt to honor what I feel was their greatest
achievement, and also one of the greatest and most under-appreciated achievements
in the field of puppetry and creature FX for film, yet.
I used many resources to create this site. Included:
Books: (All out-of-print)
- The World of the Dark Crystal, Brian Froud and J.J. Llewellyn
- The Making of the Dark Crystal, Christopher Finch
- The Land of Froud, Brian Froud
Magazines: (Also long unavailable)
- American Cinematographer, December 1982
Published Materials Databases:
- Library of Congress listings
- First Search
And also the feedback and information from dozens and dozens of wonderful
dedicated Dark Crystal fans I am massively grateful to!
