The Walking Dead is an immensely popular TV show about zombies (or walkers as they call them) – first of all thanks to hyper-realistic makeup. How are the walkers made so shockingly realistic? How much CGI is there on The Walking Dead? What do you have to be able to do if you want to become an extra on the set of The Walking Dead? Want to know all behind the scenes secrets of the walking dead? Watch this video! The team of visual effects artists led by Greg Nicotero brings the walkers to life with practical effects. Yes, while CGI becomes more and more common, for the most part Nicotero prefers old-school prosthetic make-up techniques. The zombie make-up includes dentures, colored mouthwash, over-the-head masks, 3D transfers to create the wounds, prosthetics, hand-painted contact lenses and a lot of hair conditioner. An army of zombies is created by an entire assembly line of make-up artists. And of course in the post-apocalyptic world, there’s a lot of blood and gore around. Moreover, Gregory Nicotero has a so-called Zombie School where the future walkers learn how to move. Would you like to become an extra on the set of The Walking Dead? Let us know in the comments!
