I also love that puppets are watching a puppet show. That is so meta.
Does that make it live action or anime...
The puppets are watching other puppets put on a puppet show after the mystic gives the line “we will tell you [the story] using the magical art of puppetry”. It’s so great on so many levels

I was thinking "Hey, that gives me Barnaby Dixon vibes" and holy crow, it was actually you!
i had checked the credits because i expected someone to steal his style
Same here :) Instantly recognisable style!

I hope this leads to more gigs for you. Your movement looks so organic. The motion alone steals the show. Bravo!
I instantly recognised your puppeteering and loved that they approached you! Congrats on this amazing opportunity and your excellent job!
Same here!! I was like “Wait... isnt that? YES it is!!!”
Me three!
I had to pause while I was watching to confirm online, I was so excited!!
Yes! I knew it!
Same!
“ Maybe if I move to the side it won’t look like an apology video.” XD
Ok this is gonna sound stupid but I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes because I'm so happy for you.
That's not stupid, that's pretty cute actually
I get it. I remember when this channel was pretty tiny and now he got to work on the fucking dark crystal, what I think is basically one of the most ambitious puppeteering project of this decade. Its an absolutely massive achievement and I'm so damn happy for him
Same with me ;♡;
Cilly Honey same
I was feeling the exact same Thing! Tears in my eyes, as if it was my son, I wasn't ready for this ^^
Aagh! That pic you showed of the deathly hallows...my hubby drew that. Hes a concept artist for EA. Good luck with your work Barnaby, youre a talented man and deserve all the success in the world x
Dale Newton ?
I loved that scene in the deathly hallows!
ABOUT TIME YOU MENTIONED THAT WOOO! I JUST REALIZED BY TECHNICALITY YOU PLAYED THE HERETIC! Should have been a no brainer but STILL!
Hey yeah! You're right!
*BEHOLD OUR WONDER!!!!*
500th like. Nice.
The second the little gelfling puppet appeared my husband and I yelled “barnaby!”
Seeing you work with a company as big as Henson is incredible. You should be super proud of yourself! 😃
Same here! I was so stoked that he was in the show that my eyes instantly/unexpectedly started tearing up. It made me so incredibly happy to see his work in this series
I also love having public outburts
When I watch the series I was immediately like "this tiny gelfling puppet reminds me a lot of some of Barnaby Dixons puppets".
We ended up watching the credits of that episode twice, just in case....
About damn time someone with money recognized that your talents are worth purchasing. Been waiting for ages to hear that you finally scored something with all of this brilliant puppeteering you've been doing.
Keep up the good work Barnaby. Don't worry about us. We know you and Dabchick will get around to entertaining us all once more when you're not too busy!
I got to see you and Brian Henson on the Dark Crystal panel at Dragon Con in Atlanta! Truly an honor. I recognized your puppeteering as soon as the scene began, and ended up making a video about the series at the Center for Puppetry Arts after it came out. Masterpiece, fingers crossed for season 2.
HoustonProductions1 I was at the panel as well
Age Of Resistance deserves a second season. I’m also holding out hope for a physical DVD release, but I’ll be happy to see such creative and imaginative storytelling be rewarded with more opportunities to prove the myriad of applications that puppetry can be used for, outside of what would commonly be expected. Each scene utterly dripped with the love and dedication that each person imbued into it. Fingers crossed that Netflix’ll see that as well.
Stoneryoda 937 I’m just holding out hope that Netflix understands the uniquity of this show and treats it with the respect it deserves.
If you look on the soundtrack, there’s a song called The Dark Crystal:The Age of Hope
Maybe that’s the name of the second season 🤷🏽♂️
That scene... I KNEW IT!
12:11 I always love how your puppet tries to stop the fire
I saw this episode and immediately searched "Barnaby Dixon Dark Crystal" and was very pleased to be proven right! So pleased for you, and nice work! Also I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Chapman a few years ago and got to chat to him about how much I loved Otis the Aardvark as a kid, and his work with the Jim Henson company. Lovely bloke!
"Oh cool. Theres a video on the dark crystal."
Notices name
"Barny worked on the dark crystal? I know that guy!"
The only advertisement I won’t skip ❤️
Aaand suddenly I'm interested in watching that series..
All in all it may be a "kids" series but it's honestly really good
@@gabrieltorres7168 ....Kids series?... That's.. just bizarre to me considering how legitimately unsettling the movie was..
@@ZeeZeeBun I mean they at least wanted to appeal to little kids with the series.
LOL anyone who watched the last episode would know that it was not appropriate for children. It is far from being a "kids" show. Trust me.
You watch a puppeteer on youtube, but you weren't interested in arguably the largest puppet project ever produced?
You have a face like one of these "time travellers", who's doppelgangers can be found on paintings of many centuries and eras. Your face could be of a 40 year old and a 15 year old at once too... very cool.
Maybe because it's very era-unrelated conventionally attractive?
Nati Whatever I was thinking the same. He has a timeless attractiveness.
I watched the behind the scenes movie and when I saw you I told everyone who you were and they looked at me confused, that's so cool you got to work on it! It must've been a lot of fun,n :D
*sees title*
*UNHOLY BUT HAPPY SCREECHES*
SAME
Something like
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...??
That was absolutely amazing. Your style distinctly shows...I thought: Yep, that's Barnaby. I guess you didn't get to keep the puppet?
These coffee guys should have a blend called “Chocolate Rain” ...
I saw!! And I noticed your style when watching it. I SO CALLED IT! Then I read you were in the credits.
Make it two
I actually met Toby Froud a few years back in Beaverton Oregon when I was working at FedEx. I shipped his puppet he was sending to a friend in GB. I actually knew who he was and when I was starting, I get his name, first name, Toby - he has an accent so I was like (in my head) of course it's Toby. Well Toby! What's your last name TOBY!
I asked him politely for his last name, smiling from my thoughts.
He said, Froud.
I immediately put 2 and 2 together with what he was sending and knew exactly who he was. My smile dropped instantly and I tried to remain professional but fanboyed a little.
I actually got his business card with this new dark crystal project he was working on on it.
I'm a fan. Of puppetry. So much so, I recognized your contribution to the dark crystal immediately. Which i thought was fantastic use of puppets doing puppetry. Brilliant.
Fish who wanted a couple ice cubes:
YOU *W H A T*
I was so into the story and there being a puppet show inside a puppet show that I missed this connection. Great to see you getting to work on such an awesome project and I hope to see more of your work soon.
It’s about damn time someone, especially dark crystal, actually used your incredibly unique skills.
So you played the Heretic, one of my favorites Skesis.
Probably only in that scene and only the hands.
"I feel like a bit of a fraud because I wear my puppets on all day without getting tired." More like someone who could be given the role of a consultant to solve and design out MSD issues in puppeteering!
As I heard a guitarist once say, instead of trying to make yourself fit the instrument, have an instrument customized just for you.
Henson Company's been doing it this way for over 40 years, and IMO could take a page from your book on making controls much more ergonomic.
ehh I think it's less about design and more of that, the puppets he wears/works with are less physically straining. While yes it's important to do hand stretches, and hands are a part of the body that can get tired/strained as well, there's a HUGE difference between working w/ hand and finger puppets, and holding up something heavy on your arm for long periods of time, as well as having to be hunched over with a crooked neck.
The puppets of the Jim Henson company HAVE become a lot more ergonomic, however there is only so much they can do in that department before it starts limiting what the puppets are actually able to accomplish sadly. It seems to be a problem they're taking seriously tho considering they have physical therapists on site to check in w/ the puppeteers during every break!
That is the smile of someone who is literally living a dream.
When I saw the one scene when hectic is using those puppets i was like is the Barnaby dixon
Your style is so distinctive that as soon as the scene came on your name popped into my head almost immediately
me: *_sees title_* mmmmMMMMMmmmmmm
CHAMBERLAND!
@@Quazawe wow you get the joke congrats
The moment the little gelfling puppet appeared on screen when the Heretic and Urgo do the "Surprise" for the heroes, I recognized the movements! I got so happy about it! It was an awesome surprise indeed!
Who else can’t wait for Dark Crystal season 2?
Bella The DOGGO they’re doing a season 2?
I’m pretty sure they are
If you look on the soundtrack there’s a song called The Dark Crystal: The Age of Hope
Maybe that’s the name of the second season🤷🏽♂️
1:48 that Toby is actually the baby from the labyrinth and he worked on the movie
When i saw the scene i immediately thought of you. Im so glad to discover that it was actually your work. Im so proud of you
I absolutely love when your puppet notices the fire and tries to stomp it out. Even when your puppet is in the background you give it life and personality! I really enjoy you work, please keep it up!
My dad introduced me to dark crystal as a little kid, and when the Netflix show came out we were ecstatic! I’m quite sad I finished it so quickly but I’m still waiting for the seasons to come. Your part in particular stood out to me when I was watching it, and I’m so glad this came up in my recommended. The whole time I was so impressed, and this video only makes me appreciate it even more. You did incredibly, and I hope you get more opportunities like this to come!
I thought of you immediately when I saw that scene, and then I thought "well he's kind of a smaller creator so maybe it wasn't actually him, but he's actually won shows and been interviewed so like, he's actually pretty big," and I went back and forth, posted about it on snapchat, then forgot about it entirely. Loved it.
This is my favortie scene in Cinema and TV series alltogether since 10 years. Straigth away I spotted your style and when story, pupettering, lighting, camera work and music come into place like this it's pure magic.
A pure lightning in a bottle.
Fantastic inspiration, thank you so much!
I lost my shit when I saw the documentary and saw you on set like what are the fucking odds that my favorite puppeteer worked on this phenomenal series
That scene was one of my favourites. I thought it was hilarious how meta it was and I definitely thought I recognised the puppetry! You have a distinct style!
I'm not surprised that they chose you because of your pure talent.
Mini ad in the video: COFFEE JAM
Me: but I don’t like coffee
Bear the bitter bean broth to support the artist 😉
I already wanted to watch the Dark Crystal now I actually need to watch it
I loved your scene in the dark crystal so so much. ~“Puppetry... yay”~
congrats on making by far the most memorable scene on such an amazing show! my mouth was agape for the entire thing :D
I remember the og movie...I still can't sleep and I saw that movie 8 years ago.
When I saw that scene I was literally thinking “Huh this reminds me of Barnaby”. It blows my mind finding out it was you
There was a puppet festival in Ireland and it had a panel with puppeteers from Dark Crystal. They spoke about you at it and how wonderful and innovative your puppetry was. As a fan of yours already it was so exciting! They really loved your work and were so happy to have you onboard
That scene reminded me of your puppetry, I guess that’s why
oh wow,... congrats, to become a part of dark crystal is huge... this was soo interesting to watch
Puppets with puppets. Too good.
Also, That is a super elaborate way of explaining the situation. They had too much prep time.
THAT SCENE WAS SO AMAZING, I STILL HAVE CHILLS WHEN I WATCH IT
It's so cool you worked on it! I've been subscribed to you for a while now and got reallh excited when I found out you helped on that scene!! It makes the scene extra special and also honestly super recognisable and I'm not sure how I never figured it out while watching the show!
I've seen a little bit of dark crystals but now I doubly want to watch the new one!
I knew that those movements where yours. You've a kinematic trademark dude. Congratulations on a job well done to you and the rest of the D.C. team 👍
I just found your channel via an old Bobby Duke vid. Love what you do, it's absolutely enchanting. I grew up in the original Dark Crystal days and am so proud they kept the original feel and your work was top tier!
*watches the show in august*: "hey that scene was quite stylistically similar to Barnaby Dixon, I wonder if they got him in to advise
*watches the crystal calls*: holy shit its actually his hand !
*barnaby uploads the full scene to his channel*: SCREAMING VERY LOUD SCREAMING
I loved seeing you mentioned in the Making Of documentary thing!
I recognised your work straight away, and honestly it took my breath away! Everyone who worked on the show did an amazing job and definitely made me want a career in puppeteering!
i was sooo glad you were involved, when i saw that part i literally jumped in surprise and joy.... im happy you made a video response to your experience
That is so amazing! 😱 It’s so strange that I actually was reminded of you during that scene!

This is so incredibly cool! Congrats on the opportunity and great work! Amazing scene. Love it!
I never noticed how when the mystic sets on fire, the small gelfling tries to step on it. So cute!
i exclaimed "really? yesss" when i saw this video title :') very excited
Never clicked so fast in my life.
Congratulations on getting to work on the Dark Crystal. I can think of no better way of showing off your style and technique with a company that celebrates puppetry and storytelling all its many forms. You deserve it.
I am a big fan of yours; so when I was watching the behind the scenes of Dark Crystal AOR and you were mentioned as being part of the puppet scene I was so excited for you! You did such a good job and what an accomplishment to have worked with the Henson Company and the Froud family.
Omg yaaas the dark crystal! I watched the original when I was about 5. It has some plot holes but i liked the movie still. I haven't seen the series yet tho. I just watched it the other day and the movie is so awesome even after not seeing it for 10years! I will have to check out the series on netflix. Thanks if it weren't for this video I wouldn't know about it also #loveSkeksis
you know one of my friends got me to watch that show, when i saw that gelfling puppet i was wondering if you had somthing to do with it.
Id like to thank you for making me smile with your work, please dont ever stop posting.
Finally a video of your participation in the Dark Crystal. As soon as I saw that seen in the show I was like "OMG but that's Barnaby's style!!! WTF???"
I was soo happy for you when I saw your name in the credit at the end.
I wish I could work in a movie as well some day.
*Internal screaming mixed with confusion and realisation*
When i sae that scene i audibly gasped, "IT'S BARNABYYYY"
Wow! I had no idea you worked on this! They say the best effects, both practical and digital, are those that you don't even see notice. Amazing work.
God I love that you helped in the Netflix Dark Crystal. Its one of my favorite movies and knowing you worked on it just makes the scene seem so much special.
Barnaby: I worked on the dark crystal

I'm so happy! I never new this! I've watched your videos on and off for a few years now! Instantly recognized the movements!
I was so excited to see your work in the Dark Crystal series. Congratulations! Your work is so unique but more than that you bring a raw performance that only a true puppeteer can give to a film. Good luck going forward, and I can’t wait to see what you do next.
Came here cuz I watched the odd1sout
I'm so happy you were involved in the project! I've followed you for years. You are wildly talented. I expect you to have a long and prosperous career.
That's so cool, that was a scene that stood out to me in the movie and it's cool to see it was done by somebody I watch on the daily.
Saw this literally after watching the episode and your work was easily recognized!!! I’m so happy you’re getting recognized for your work! This is a big step and I hope you work on more films!!
I saw the series before knowing your channel, and when a saw your scene I thought it was one of best of the series!
Keep the excellent work man!
Hell yeah dude! Ive been WAITING for this video! Great work!!
I knew it! Haha. Soon as I saw that puppet. Dude, what an honor, working with The Jim Henson company. Congrats!
I love the way you talk about your art and craft. You sound so proud, yet so humble.
Thank you for this video, love that scene!
OMG dude, I'm so genuinely happy for you, I already knew about this and watched the clip, but still, I love that you got this opportunity, which you are obviously up to the task for. Here's hoping for many more great opportunities and success for you!
this was one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. outstanding! i love your work so much
I'm so glad I discovered this now. One of my first art projects was about the dark crystal and I watched the whole thing as research and I enjoyed it. Good job.
Oh my God, I absolutely love The Dark Crystal: AOR, it’s so amazing you were part of that show!! You’re amazing!!!
Congrats on being able to work on this project! Amazing! Love your work!
Dude it’s been a while since I’ve visited your channel, but I loved your content and creativity. Still do. To come back and see that you’re doing/have done things like this, and on one of my favorite childhood movies no less, it honestly makes me so proud of you. You have no idea. Congrats, you funky little puppet man, you’re doing just great.
Wow I remember seeing that scene and thinking of you but to actually find out you worked on this show is amazing! You did such a great job and I'm so glad your talent got recognized and on such a great show :)
This is absolutely incredible, Barney. Massive congrats! I can remember you creating your amazing wire sculptures in art class, you’ve done so well! Can’t wait to see what else you’ll do! 👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉
