00:28.100 --> 00:30.900
With Star Trek, I would say the hardest assignment

00:30.900 --> 00:32.700
has been a time Factor

00:32.700 --> 00:35.100
not the actual

00:35.100 --> 00:37.500
development of it whether it's a little teeny nose

00:37.500 --> 00:39.100
or a big giant head

00:39.100 --> 00:41.100
as long as you have the time to do

00:41.100 --> 00:42.300
it.

00:42.300 --> 00:43.800
It's not a problem

00:43.800 --> 00:46.000
or to even have to do a whole chest

00:46.000 --> 00:48.300
or a body suit or something.

00:48.300 --> 00:51.100
It's the the time that if you had only

00:51.100 --> 00:51.700
have

00:51.700 --> 00:53.400
one day or two days to be able to

00:53.400 --> 00:54.500
do something and

00:54.500 --> 00:56.800
it means having to go around the clock and

00:56.800 --> 00:57.900
no going backwards.

00:57.900 --> 00:58.900
Once something

00:58.900 --> 01:01.000
is sculpted approved.

01:01.000 --> 01:02.200
It's ready to work.

01:02.200 --> 01:03.900
You can't make it and then all of a

01:03.900 --> 01:04.700
sudden somebody go.

01:04.700 --> 01:05.400
I don't like it.

01:05.400 --> 01:06.600
Let's do it again.

01:06.600 --> 01:11.600
There's no time to go backwards.

01:11.600 --> 01:15.300
The longest makeup that we ever did

01:15.300 --> 01:17.000
it's difficult to say, what is the hardest one

01:17.000 --> 01:19.200
because they're all they're all challenges the all meet

01:19.200 --> 01:20.200
the challenge

01:20.200 --> 01:22.700
and we have yet to

01:22.700 --> 01:24.800
not turn one out on time that work on

01:24.800 --> 01:25.600
the set

01:25.600 --> 01:27.600
the longest one

01:27.600 --> 01:30.000
up until LeVar Burton playing the lizard was Brent

01:30.000 --> 01:31.100
Spiner doing

01:31.100 --> 01:31.400
dr.

01:31.400 --> 01:32.000
Sung

01:32.000 --> 01:33.600
in his old age makeup,

01:33.600 --> 01:34.300
but

01:34.300 --> 01:35.800
Lavar

01:35.800 --> 01:39.000
played a lizard where we had a hit on

01:39.000 --> 01:40.000
him.

01:40.000 --> 01:41.400
We had a Hands-On.

01:41.400 --> 01:43.400
We had feed on them

01:43.400 --> 01:44.200
and

01:44.200 --> 01:47.600
a section between his belly button and mid-thigh like

01:47.600 --> 01:49.000
bicycle pants

01:49.000 --> 01:52.400
and his body was all a very dark dark

01:52.400 --> 01:53.400
brown

01:53.400 --> 01:55.300
and had veins glued all over it.

01:55.300 --> 01:57.800
And then once the veins were glued on

01:57.800 --> 02:00.400
this is front back head everywhere.

02:00.400 --> 02:03.400
They all had to be painted with fluorescent paint.

02:03.400 --> 02:05.200
So he would glow so the veins would glow

02:05.200 --> 02:07.400
special and then he had contact lenses into made

02:07.400 --> 02:09.100
his eyes glow yellow.

02:09.100 --> 02:10.100
So I had

02:10.100 --> 02:11.300
six makeup artist going

02:11.300 --> 02:12.500
or five hours

02:12.500 --> 02:14.100
and Levar said he says I'm only going to

02:14.100 --> 02:15.100
do this once

02:15.100 --> 02:17.200
let's get it all today

02:17.200 --> 02:19.000
because he'd literally could he couldn't sit down he

02:19.000 --> 02:20.300
had to stand there

02:20.300 --> 02:21.900
for this whole period of time

02:21.900 --> 02:24.000
while all these little teeny veins were

02:24.000 --> 02:24.500
grew up.

02:24.500 --> 02:24.900
I could

02:24.900 --> 02:26.600
his wife came by who is a makeup artist

02:26.600 --> 02:27.400
Stephanie

02:27.400 --> 02:29.000
and she happened to come by

02:29.000 --> 02:30.300
knowing that he was going to be going through

02:30.300 --> 02:30.500
this.

02:30.500 --> 02:33.000
Nice are Stephanie or some veins start glowing

02:33.000 --> 02:34.500
because it was it was like all these little

02:34.500 --> 02:36.400
teeny blood things had to be

02:36.400 --> 02:41.400
glued over his entire body.

02:41.400 --> 02:42.900
One character

02:42.900 --> 02:46.800
in particular some show called Offspring Leonard Crowfoot and

02:46.800 --> 02:49.300
it's literally one of my favorite makeups over the

02:49.300 --> 02:50.600
whole period of time

02:50.600 --> 02:53.600
Leonard was a ballet dancer and an actor

02:53.600 --> 02:55.300
very strong

02:55.300 --> 02:57.600
and he had to look almost like

02:57.600 --> 02:59.000
a little statue

02:59.000 --> 03:00.400
to begin with

03:00.400 --> 03:02.500
so he had a head-on

03:02.500 --> 03:03.400
to made a

03:03.400 --> 03:05.200
cast of his head.

03:05.200 --> 03:07.300
It had no ears.

03:07.300 --> 03:08.800
It had no nose

03:08.800 --> 03:10.700
and the mouth was down here.

03:10.700 --> 03:11.200
So he

03:11.200 --> 03:13.000
In here, well,

03:13.000 --> 03:14.600
he couldn't breathe

03:14.600 --> 03:17.200
and he couldn't eat during the day

03:17.200 --> 03:20.200
because we also had them glued into a diaper

03:20.200 --> 03:21.500
and Falls

03:21.500 --> 03:23.500
rubber chest

03:23.500 --> 03:25.800
Leonard would

03:25.800 --> 03:27.100
go about 12 hours

03:27.100 --> 03:29.500
without eating or drinking anything

03:29.500 --> 03:31.700
and then at the end of the night

03:31.700 --> 03:33.000
of the first night

03:33.000 --> 03:34.800
one person actually had to go and scrub them

03:34.800 --> 03:35.600
down

03:35.600 --> 03:36.600
second night.

03:36.600 --> 03:38.900
I got a loofah sponge for my wife and

03:38.900 --> 03:40.600
I went in to help scrub them down to

03:40.600 --> 03:41.200
get them out of the

03:41.200 --> 03:42.000
the makeup

03:42.000 --> 03:44.200
it took

03:44.200 --> 03:46.700
Around three hours to get them in and almost

03:46.700 --> 03:49.900
three hours to get about but the

03:49.900 --> 03:50.800
effect

03:50.800 --> 03:52.100
is so great

03:52.100 --> 03:54.600
and that it's a makeup that had identify a

03:54.600 --> 03:55.300
feature.

03:55.300 --> 03:57.000
I would have won an Oscar for it.

03:57.000 --> 03:57.700
It was

03:57.700 --> 03:59.800
the in the actor was so incredible

03:59.800 --> 04:02.200
in his performance because he could stand on one

04:02.200 --> 04:04.100
foot and he could do

04:04.100 --> 04:06.300
strange things that you wouldn't expect an actor be

04:06.300 --> 04:08.400
able to do because he has to perfect balance

04:08.400 --> 04:10.000
and on top of that

04:10.000 --> 04:12.100
he wore Silver Eyes contact lenses so he couldn't

04:12.100 --> 04:14.000
see well it was almost like putting dark.

04:14.000 --> 04:15.000
Is

04:15.000 --> 04:17.000
because the mirrored lenses are

04:17.000 --> 04:17.600
thicker

04:17.600 --> 04:19.300
and you don't see through them that well,

04:19.300 --> 04:21.800
so we almost cut off every sense

04:21.800 --> 04:23.700
that Leonard had

04:23.700 --> 04:25.800
including being able to the bathroom.

04:25.800 --> 04:27.300
So

04:27.300 --> 04:29.400
I said the nothing but applauds for this man

04:29.400 --> 04:30.300
for the

04:30.300 --> 04:32.000
but he was excited about it as some of

04:32.000 --> 04:33.700
the other actors

04:33.700 --> 04:35.900
that we've had doing the they come into play

04:35.900 --> 04:37.500
and said he was willing to do anything to

04:37.500 --> 04:41.700
make it work.

04:41.700 --> 04:44.100
Going back to 1965

04:44.100 --> 04:45.600
when the original show

04:45.600 --> 04:47.700
aired.

04:47.700 --> 04:49.900
I think I watched every episode

04:49.900 --> 04:52.300
reason being my wife was pregnant

04:52.300 --> 04:53.800
and we were home

04:53.800 --> 04:55.700
and that was

04:55.700 --> 04:57.400
a hot interesting show at the time.

04:57.400 --> 04:59.800
So it was an Islamic Thursday nights at might

04:59.800 --> 05:00.400
have been

05:00.400 --> 05:01.100
so

05:01.100 --> 05:03.400
we sat down and watched

05:03.400 --> 05:04.800
Star Trek all the way through course and
