Trollocs and Fades!

Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’re chatting to makeup effects designer Nick Dudman about season 2 of Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time. In particular, we dive deep into the design and build process for the make-up effects for the Trollocs and the Fades in the show. We discuss all kinds of make-up effects, animatronics and prosthetics issues, including the use of stilts on set for the Trollocs. Nick also talks about the collaboration with VFX on both creatures, which was really important this season.
