WEBVTT 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 --> 01:04.100 You can't make it and then all the sudden 01:04.100 --> 01:04.700 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 --> 01:15.100 The longest makeup that we ever did 01:15.100 --> 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 --> 01:22.700 the challenge 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 Levar 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 the hands on. 01:41.400 --> 01:43.400 We had feed on them 01:43.400 --> 01:44.200 and 01:44.200 --> 01:44.700 a 01:44.700 --> 01:48.000 section between his belly button and mid-thigh like bicycle 01:48.000 --> 01:49.000 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 are glued on 01:57.800 --> 01:59.700 this is front back head 01:59.700 --> 02:00.400 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 said 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 --> 02:24.900 grew up active. 02:24.900 --> 02:27.400 His wife came by who's a makeup artist 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 your 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 veins 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 so 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 a 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 --> 03:15.400 and he couldn't 03:15.400 --> 03:17.200 eat during the day 03:17.200 --> 03:20.200 because we also had them glued into a diaper 03:20.200 --> 03:20.900 and 03:20.900 --> 03:21.500 false 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 can do 04:04.100 --> 04:06.300 strange things that you wouldn't expect an actor be 04:06.300 --> 04:07.500 able to do because he had such a perfect 04:07.500 --> 04:08.500 balance 04:08.500 --> 04:10.900 and on top of that he wore Silver Eyes 04:10.900 --> 04:12.700 contact lenses so he couldn't see well it was 04:12.700 --> 04:14.000 almost like putting dark. 04:14.000 --> 04:15.000 Kids 04:15.000 --> 04:16.900 because the mirrored lenses are 04:16.900 --> 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 there's nothing but applauds for this man 04:29.400 --> 04:30.300 for the 04:30.300 --> 04:32.100 but he was excited about it as some of 04:32.100 --> 04:33.700 the other actors 04:33.700 --> 04:35.800 that we've had doing the they come into play 04:35.800 --> 04:37.400 and said he was willing to do anything to 04:37.400 --> 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 --> 04:49.800 I think I watched every episode 04:49.800 --> 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 --> 04:57.300 a hot interesting show at the time. 04:57.300 --> 04:59.800 So it was an Islamic Thursday nights of 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 --> 05:05.000 Star Trek all the way through course, then 05:05.000 --> 05:06.200 it kind of disappeared 05:06.200 --> 05:09.000 the movies came out. 05:09.000 --> 05:10.300 I don't know if 05:10.300 --> 05:11.400 I don't remember them. 05:11.400 --> 05:12.000 His 05:12.000 --> 05:14.200 you know knocking my socks off 05:14.200 --> 05:17.900 the early ones, 05:17.900 --> 05:18.400 but 05:18.400 --> 05:20.400 I was totally familiar 05:20.400 --> 05:22.200 with what Klingons were 05:22.200 --> 05:24.900 and what Vulcans were and 05:24.900 --> 05:26.700 I think just Spock 05:26.700 --> 05:29.700 and Captain Kirk made such an impression 05:29.700 --> 05:33.000 on the short time that they really aired. 05:33.000 --> 05:35.600 It's like I originally did The Munsters and 05:35.600 --> 05:37.100 the original Munsters 05:37.100 --> 05:39.700 only went for like two years and it 05:39.700 --> 05:41.300 also made such a marks. 05:41.300 --> 05:43.200 Such an impression you wonder why it would why 05:43.200 --> 05:45.700 it would disappear. 05:45.700 --> 05:47.800 But I was I was familiar with the 05:47.800 --> 05:48.900 this scenario and 05:48.900 --> 05:53.200 the stories. 05:53.200 --> 05:56.000 I'm looking forward to somewhere down the line redoing 05:56.000 --> 05:56.900 the tellarites 05:56.900 --> 05:58.500 just have to 05:58.500 --> 06:01.200 figure out how we can 06:01.200 --> 06:03.700 design them so they will fit in 06:03.700 --> 06:04.800 in today 06:04.800 --> 06:06.900 because I know originally 06:06.900 --> 06:09.400 it was a mask that had deep-set eyes 06:09.400 --> 06:11.800 and 06:11.800 --> 06:13.100 it got 06:13.100 --> 06:14.200 glued on to the man. 06:14.200 --> 06:15.200 So low 06:15.200 --> 06:16.900 that he kind of had to look up like 06:16.900 --> 06:18.600 this to be able to see 06:18.600 --> 06:20.100 hence the 06:20.100 --> 06:22.300 it became part of the character the tellarites all 06:22.300 --> 06:22.900 walking around. 06:22.900 --> 06:25.300 Like that and looking because of the 06:25.300 --> 06:27.000 the frontal brow on it, but then you can't 06:27.000 --> 06:28.200 see their eyes when you do that. 06:28.200 --> 06:29.400 So I've got to 06:29.400 --> 06:31.200 somehow design 06:31.200 --> 06:32.800 a happy medium where 06:32.800 --> 06:33.900 when the people will look at it. 06:33.900 --> 06:35.900 They'll say that's a tellarite 06:35.900 --> 06:41.000 and not something totally different. 06:41.000 --> 06:42.600 I have my fill here 06:42.600 --> 06:43.800 of sculpting 06:43.800 --> 06:45.400 and painting. 06:45.400 --> 06:48.100 It's an ideal job that I mean, it's so 06:48.100 --> 06:50.000 fulfilling where so many other 06:50.000 --> 06:51.200 makeup artist 06:51.200 --> 06:54.300 go from one project to another 06:54.300 --> 06:56.400 through a very slow process. 06:56.400 --> 06:58.300 I have a new show every week. 06:58.300 --> 07:01.500 I have to sketch design build paint 07:01.500 --> 07:02.900 and get on the screen 07:02.900 --> 07:03.800 so 07:03.800 --> 07:05.800 creativity. 07:05.800 --> 07:07.100 I'm loaded with 07:07.100 --> 07:08.300 ten months out of the year.
