How do the White Walkersbecome the White Walkers ? How does the Night King get those wonderful horns ? Why does Greyscale look so frigging gross ? All congratulations to Game of Thrones ’ incredible prosthetics team — the creative person who hand - make all these enhancement and then painstakingly , seamlessly place them on the actors .
Below , HBO gives those rarely acknowledge miracle worker a small passion with an excellent behind the view video . The clip not only has some of yourfavorite moment from the series so far , but some extensive annoyer about prosthetics forseason eight as well .
Of all the impressive and terrifying number commit in that TV , the one that stands out to me is the likely hour or two to take off the prosthetics . You never think of that , ripe ? We always get wind stories of actors being in war paint chairs for six to eight hours before they even get in front of the television camera — but imagine go through that process , filming for 12 hours , then being dead tired and still having another two hours to remove everything … only to do it all again the next day ? Brutal .
