FUN FACT : After The Ludo Rig Had Finally Been Constructed, When Henson Learned That It Weighed Over

FUN FACT : After the Ludo rig had finally been constructed, when Henson learned that it weighed over 100 pounds, the director told the Creature Shop to start all over again to make it lighter. Even after the costume had been modified and brought down to weigh just seventy-five pounds, it was still a monster of a costume. Too heavy for just one person to manage, the suit had to be operated by two different people. Puppeteers Rob Mueck and Rob Mills took turns wearing it. Operating Ludo was “a challenge,” according to the production notes. The puppet was also a giant costume that the puppeteers, Ron Mueck and Rob Mills, had to control. On his right horn, there was a camera. The camera connected to two tiny screens inside the puppet’s stomach. The puppeteer used these to see where he was going. One monitor displayed the camera that was on Ludo’s right horn. The other screen showed what was being filmed by the movie camera. These prevented Ludo from walking into things. 🎬
