Transcript
00:00I want to have a normal conversation about flaying human beings, as you do.
00:05What was actually the material? Like, what is the skin made of?
00:08Skin. Human skin. No, it's...
00:11I was like, that took me a couple of hours.
00:13He's very dedicated, that's what I was saying. Everything's practical.
00:18I got a guy. No one told me that.
00:22There was actually a lot of different types, like obviously leaning into different types of latexes and things that would
00:28tear but also hold.
00:29That was one of the things we needed, that it would rip but not fall apart.
00:32But then even like some of the earlier layers of skin, which are thinner and have to get separated, were
00:36made out of a more paper-like substance.
00:38So our prosthetics team kind of used a lot of different techniques.
00:41But the key thing we were always up against, I was like, rip it off, but don't break it.
00:44It still had to have some sort of quality to it.
00:47Elasticity. Yeah, sure.
00:49What was fun in this story with creating a monster is I had to pull her out of the shadows
00:53and bring her into the light very early,
00:55but also have somewhere to go, you know, with it.
00:58So that required the onion, for want of a better description.
01:02The underpilling of the onion, so to speak.
01:04Yeah.
01:05But it was all done for real.
01:08We're going to see you in the top of the red.
01:08I want to get started.
01:08Now, for a second whole, we need to get started.
