By the point the ultimate horn blows, Dunk could have sustained extra non-fatal accidents than simply about anybody else in TV historical past. And his massive type appears extra like a sentient bruise than a human being. In keeping with Dunk actor Peter Claffey, that bodily transformation was each bit as difficult because the struggle choreography itself.
“Anna [Knight], my make-up artist, was simply insane. I wouldn’t have been capable of get by that job with out her,” Claffey says. “She needed to put that giant [bruise] prosthetic on my eye each morning. It was like two and a half hours within the chair. She simply smashed it each time. We additionally had a wasp infestation on the time, so there have been wasps throughout me attempting to drink the sugar blood.”
Although Dunk defeats the wretched Aerion Brightflame and survives the ordeal, not all of his teammates are so fortunate. After dropping each Ser Humfreys within the first cost, it appears as if each one else got here out unscathed. Sadly, Prince Baelor (Bertie Carvel), Hand of the King and inheritor to the Iron Throne, suffered a deadly wound to the again of his head that solely turns into obvious upon the elimination of his helm. The person who helped take away that helm, Raymun Fossoway actor Shaun Thomas, expresses related appreciation for the make-up division’s grotesque work.
“It was a really tough scene to shoot since you’ve come from battle, you’re crushed up, and the vitality is low. It was laborious to embody that and nonetheless take the helm off. Nevertheless it was such an incredible second. To really see the again of his head… it was sort of a pure response to what the make-up staff had completed, which was an incredible job. And Bertie performed it completely fabulous. I really feel actually honored to be part of that scene.”
In the end, the expertise of crafting the trial of seven sequences sounds almost as tiring because the skirmish itself.
