Dave and Lou Elsey: Revenge of the Sith's Makeup Effects Team

In this episode we are talking to Dave and Lou Elsey, the makeup effects team behind Revenge of the Sith, whose work was nominated for an Academy Award.

The Elsey’s talk about everything: from meeting Rick Baker to their early work on Farscape to, of course, getting the call from Rick McCallum to work on Episode 3. We go through it all: Palpatine’s transformation, Anakin’s burns and the reintroduction of Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. We even get into the (in)famous Hyperspace Webcam and their Obi-Wan Kenobi mannequin.
