THE WEREWOLF TRANSFORMATION REVEALED

there seems to be a problem with the video

it wont play

this wont work on my computer ill try again tomorrow

wont work for me :(

Not working for me either!

Please make this available on Youtube(and don't restrict it, that's annoying)

wont work on mine either :-(

its still not working whats going on guys?!!!

The thought of Tovey having to do that for hours at a time is what actually makes me whince during the transformation scenes. He does an amazing job.

aha can finally watch it

poor russell, he is fantastic during those scenes, i reall hope he knows its worth it and how much we all appreciate it.



Toby says he doesn't know how Russell does it? Because he is awesome and adorkable i reckon :)

WOW, good stuff. Have said this before about the poltergeist stuff - I am so glad BH isn't opting for all CGI. I think CGI is very clever too but I love the skill and effort involved in old-school, real action stuff.



Thanks for the insight.

I've really enjoyed the "Behind the Scenes" videos, very satisfying for my inner pedantic geek!



Love the werewolf transformation - the idea that it's a truly horrendous thing to undergo really comes across. We're left in no doubt that the condition is a curse and an affliction due to the great FX and Russell's superb portrayal.



Terrific stuff - I'm so going to miss this show!

The special effects are up there with Rick Bakers 'An American Werewolf in London' transformation. Brilliant. Glad to see CGI wasn't used, as it doesn't look as good as the old fashioned way. Russel Tovey's portrayal of the transformation was first class.

The effects may be done on a budget but they worked well.



In the last episode I was cringing at all the crunching/snapping noises coming from poor George as he transformed - I really felt sorry for him.



Thanks Russell for putting up with all the make-up stuff & the effects team for a job well done.

Loving the robotics effects with the werewolf muzzle

Just been looking back over the episodes, behind the scenes stuff, previous blogs etc. I mean the whole BH team are just fab, aren't they? Everyone has done a wonderful job and the care and enthusiasm which goes into creating it all really shows. And this website has been great as well.



Just well done everyone and thank you.

Wow so glad this is working thats amazing - poor russell though i tried coloured contacs for a halloween party and oh my god never again lol poor guy having to do it ovr and over again but i guess it makes the pained look on his face an the screaming a bit easier :-S



The special effect are great though and i agree - it wouldnt have been the same with cgi :-) proper old school stylie :-)

Ahem, still embedded on Youtube, please please fix this. And while you're at it, could you please make the Herrick vid available



I'll love you guys for it



'Being Human' rules

wow poor guy i bet ne couldnt talk for days after all that screaming.



is really good to no that the old methods are still going strong well done to every one that sat and put all that detail in it was worth it!. This show really is brillant there is so much work that went in to it just brillant.



And Russell you did so well puting up with it i would of moaned my arse off

That was really good to see, Russell was brilliant!

It must take the biggest amount of energy to scream constantly for hours... Russell, perfect performance couldn't have been done better.

:)

Woohoo, added a link to it on the lj community for George:)



(still waiting for people to post fanvids on the sire though)

I love the image with the nose being pushed out. You couldn't have got that with CGI. This just makes me love werewolves more nad more, can't wait to see what you do in the next series.

:)

Wow poor Russell it must be awful, but when you see the end product it's fantastic, we need to see more of Russell's bod next series so hurry up guys get the next series out soon i'm going cold turkey!!!!!

even more impressed knowing it isn't CGI, have to hand it to Russell though it really does seem tough and he pull it off amazing you actually feel his pain

Just want to add to the general Russell Tovey love - he just just fantastic throughout the whole episode. I'm delighted that the final episode focused on George's journey, it could have just been a fight-fest but it really was all about 'being human'. Really satisfying conclusion.



On another note, poor poor Nina. Bloody hell. I'm a little bit distraught for her, and she's fictional. Damn you Whithouse.

Just watched it, the guy needs a medal for the contacts alone...well done Russell. Brilliant.

Russell..what can I say? He's just fantastic at this! He must have endless patience.

His portrayal of George is wonderfull: a bit of an Andrex puppy, while his werewolf appears agonisingly painfull and vicious, whilst at the same time sorrowfull.

What sort of techniques does Russell use to avoid straining his voice?



There can't be too many takes of the screeching on any given shoot, I'd imagine.

IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING FOR ME

Brilliant job all round!



Many thanks for the great 'behind the scenes' stuff, makes a great show all the better.



Looking forward to season 2!

im just so glad being human series 2 is coming out!!great prostetics by the way!!

sorry, I'm about a week behind everybody else again. That control thing they are using to work the prosthetic - is that the same thing they use on Dr Who to make the daleks move?
