![]() ![]() You’re seeing fake eyes because we were able to simulate the missing jaw and the pulled-out teeth. Everything on their bodies is all practical, aside from the missing arms, which we painted blue. One of the things that I strive for, as a make-up effects artist, is to mix mediums. I always feel that you keep the audience guessing by throwing tricks at them, every so often. “Since walkers really don’t blink a lot, and their eyes are already dead and rotted looking,” Nicotero told Collider, “we built a prosthetic that built the performer’s faces out and we put fake guys in those prosthetics. So, when you’re looking at them, you’re not seeing the actor’s eyes. But if you use powdered food colouring - you can get it at a bakery or a shop that provides bakery supplies - you can use red and yellow powdered food colouring and put a little bit of soap in with it, and the soap will keep the blood from staining your hands.” So then you have a red stained bloody hand for two days. But as soon as you do that, that blood stains your hands. When I was a little kid, that’s what I made fake blood out of, because that’s all that there was. You can go to the supermarket, and you can buy red liquid food colouring. The trick to it, he confided in The Frame is using “powdered food colouring, not liquid food colouring. “We make all the blood in-house,” Nicotero told Vulture, “and we also provide the blood for the art department and for wardrobe and for makeup, so we go through hundreds of gallons. Others insisted that she was full CGI.” Making fake blood There was a big Internet debate and some fans said it was a puppet. People could not figure out how we did it. “We ended up putting her in blue leggings so that visual effects guys could remove the bottom half. In terms of losing her legs, they couldn’t dig a hole due to the shooting location in a real park, and decided against building a platform to hide them. Her makeup application took a little over three hours.” We put the custom dentures in first and then applied the latex over it so you could see her rotting gums and part of her skull. “We did a one-piece foam latex face and neck, two more for chest and back. “We did a whole life casting on Melissa Cowan who has a great face for zombie makeup” Nicotero told Deadline. Here are some more insights Nicotero and his team have given over the years into the ingenious practical effects used to create some of The Walking Dead‘s memorable moments… Creating “bicycle girl” in the pilot, Days Gone By Carl’s hair was deliberately grown long as camouflage for his eyeless prosthetics, a simple disguise for covering up the joins years in the planning. ![]()
