Make-Up Artist magazine conducted an exclusive interview with the creature effects supervisor and special makeup designer for the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie, Nick Dudman.
The interview primarily focuses on the creation of Fenrir Greyback.
“He’s a character with a great deal of fine hair all over him,†Dudman explained. “In the old days, if you were doing a werewolf, you would just lay loose hair on an actor, but nowadays the camera would pick that up, plus it’s such a coarse technique, it would be different every day.
“What we’ve done is punch fine goat hair into the pieces and pre-paint them, so when we apply the make-up, it won’t take as long. Because the hair has been punched, there’s no glue, so the movement will be freer. The reason we use fur is because it’s tapered and very fine. If you use human hair, yak or any other hair, because it’s been cut, it’s the same length at both ends and has a coarser flavor, whereas fur sits nicely close to the skin.
