alien makeups: Andromeda

Trance Gemini
the Perseid ambassador
Uxulta
other aliens

I’m not a great fan of Andromeda – neither the plot nor the makeups: it is just one of those bottom drawer proposals that shouldn’t have been resurrected, especially so long after it was conceived.

I would, however, like to make clear that I’ve nothing against the makeup people who’ve worked on it – they’ve done talented work elsewhere – but here they seem to be hampered by low production values and lack of ambition from the producers.

Francesca von Zimmerman is key makeup artist; Ryan Nicholson (Flesh & Fantasy) is prosthetic designer; Toby Lindala is key makeup effects artist (season 5); Rachel Griffin, Harlow MacFarlane and Christ Stanley have been special makeup effects artists on the show.
