  • Emmy-winning prosthetics designer Barrie Gower gave us a tour of his workshop BGFX just outside of London. The team here worked on seasons 4-8 of the popular HBO series "Game of Thrones", as well as feature films and TV shows. We learned how the Night King makeup is made, as well as wights and White Walkers.

    I'm extremely curious about how these people get into such a line of career. I can't imagine this is what they always wanted to do, even as a kid. And high schools don't tell you about such career lines. Not to forget that such prosthetics haven't always been around and are quite new technologies.

    • @Wigfield84
      @Wigfield84 Před 5 lety +1

      Some form of prosthetics or another have been around for quite a long time. They've just evolved as new more realistic types of material are discovered. Latex used to be the mainstay. There are special schools for this kind of thing, but a lot of people learn just by doing as well. I imagine it helps to take a lot of art, theater, and maybe even shop classes in high school. There are tons of people you can watch on youtube to learn more about special fx makeup and such! It's super fun and interesting to watch. I'm starting to play around with simple things like latex and scar wax and just for the heck of it. I bet if someone practiced at it a lot, a good first job would be at a halloween shop or haunted attraction.
