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

Look Behind The Look

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 commenting
on it. Hear how they worked together on this challenging project and
please let me know what you think of Dead Ringers!
