S3 | Ep. 29: Judy Chin & Jason Collins talk about their extraordinary work on the intense new series, Dead Ringers

This week features a conversation between Oscar Award Winner Judy Chin and Emmy Award Winner Jason Collins of Autonomous FX, Inc. Dead Ringers starring Rachel Weisz, now on Amazon Prime, is a limited series based on the original film which starred Jeremy Irons.  Judy is the makeup department head and Jason heads up the SFX Team on the show.  These two are masters of their craft, that much is certain, but what I really enjoyed talking with them about was the extraordinary way that they approach the subject matter of the show through artistry.  We also discuss the observation that audiences are shocked by the "graphic nature" of the scenes in the birthing center of this series, yet are capable of consuming content that is violent and gory without commentingon it.  Hear how they worked together on this challenging project and please let me know what you think of Dead Ringers!Watch Dead Ringers (2023) Now On Amazonhttps://amzn.to/3oUy6v3 Watch the Original Film (1988) Herehttps://amzn.to/3oUy6v33:08 - Start3:53 - Judy Gets in on The Project5:40 - The Baby Vending Business8:40 - The Maternity Ward10:00 - The Natural Body Horror Dance12:35 - Pushing For Authenticity 14:04 - Prepping the Birthing Rig15:10 - The ECE Procedure17:30 - The Big Belly19:50 - The Crowning Scene21:05 - Creating the Twins22:50 - Simplicity Saves the Day23:52 - Differentiating the Twins25:51 - The Female Approach26:35 - Closing Get full access to Look Behind The Look's Substack from Tiffany Bartok at lookbehindthelook.substack.com/subscribe
