We have all spotted things in shows which were never meant to be there. Scars swapping sides, hair up one minute and then down the next, blood which moves shot to shot or an errant edge which can’t be hidden.
Those are the things which you notice, and maybe take great pleasure in spotting and shaming those unfortunate artists who were ‘responsible’.
However, there are many things which you didn’t spot which could have been issues if they were not overcome before the cameras started rolling. Being skilled at makeup is one thing, but doing it in an environment with many moving parts which you don’t control is quite another.
Changing schedules, actors, body shapes and colours can all be a challenge. The time between lifecast and application may be when the actor works out, bulks up or drops weight, gets tanned or simply is replaced and your beautifully matched appliances don’t fit, are the wrong colour or no longer needed.
We go through some of these hidden problems which are not so rare, and which will tax the creative minds of those on whose shoulders these things fall.

We have had a long lay-off and been quiet coping with one thing and another, so apologies for the radio silence. We have a few new toys which will mean things are going to be more regular on the podcast front.

Thanks Stuart and Todd. Very enjoyable episode. I haven’t listened for a while. What with Lockdown and everything I feel quite despondent about working – although I did do a small project in August. Lots to think about and thanks for the recommendations for the sculpting apps.
We appreciate your message and kind words. Things will pick up, it is REALLY hard to maintain a chipper mind, especially when creativity seems like a confection we can ill afford when more basic things seem pressing. I do believe in lockdown, consumption of the fruits of creative industries have been consumed in huge amounts – music, films, TV shows and other output have been consumed in huge amounts and this will create a current of demand as things pick up and people want new seasons of things they have gobbled up. Studios are warming up, I see a lot of investment in the UK with new soundstages being built and infrastructure being laid out.
