I worked on this movie for about 9 months. First we started out sculpting the puppets, then molding them and fabricating facereplacements. We didn’t use rapid prototyping in those days, so it was very important to know alot about the silicones and resins we were using for getting a most acurate fit for the replacements. Puppet fabrication supervisor was Graham Maiden and technical lead was John Craney. The villain Habumar, whom I built from head to tail, including all facial experssions and the three children were the puppets I mainly worked on. Paintwork by Willeke Smid’s team, Costumes by Thalia Lane and Annika Schindler.
