In both Narnia movies, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, creatures from Narnia have filled the screen with unique and mystical appearances. Thanks to both the makeup and prosthetics team and the costume team, Narnia is truly brought to life.
I had the amazing opportunity to become a Narnian creature myself. I saw up-close what it was like for each of the actors and makeup artists every single day of filming. The process took 1½ hours for me, which was half the time it actually took on set.
My makeup artist was Kevin Wasner. He told me that during most of the filming, he had 20-hour days with only 4 hours of sleep. His day started at 4 or 5 am and went until 12 or 1 the next morning. The morning hours were spent transforming the actors into creatures; the afternoon and evening hours were spent making sure they stayed that way, then turning them back into humans.
Becoming a Hag
Sarah Transform begins I was assigned to be a “hag.” They showed me a picture of what I would soon look like. Wow! It was mind-boggling!
