Visible crew/equipment: When the evil birds send the big beetle-like monsters out to look for Jen, they run into a tunnel. When the beetles run to the camera you can see that between their legs, there is a pair of human legs.

The Dark Crystal is a dramatic puppet-populated fantasy adventure film created by Jim Henson, without any humans present, set on a world dominated by hateful, selfish reptilian beings known as Skeksis that drain others of their life-force so they can continue their decadent and evil ways indefinitely. Only good, elf-like creatures called Gelflings can break their dominion and save their dying and tormented world! A great family classic with dark elements, The Dark Crystal provides lessons in courage, hope, perseverance and working together toward a good cause! Root for Jen and Kira as they strive to win the day.
Jen: When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone, shall be whole the two made one, by Gelfling hand or else by none.
Trivia: The actors inside of the Skeksis had television monitors inside of their costumes, so that they could see where they were going.
Question: When Jen looks at the shard, he sees in image of a Skeksis striking the crystal, but why when the beings of light appear, do they say that they were the ones responsible for shattering it?

Answer: The skeksis and the beings of light are the same, each being a different side (good and bad) therefore it was there evil side (the skeksis) that struck the crystal.
