The Orville deserves all support and recognition for their efforts towards providing their audience not only with visual excellence but also, and as importantly, with great acting and writing. It's nice to see something about this show on your channel.
The Orville is absolutely incredible! Great story lines, awesome humor that doesn't overwhelm the plot and great graphically! It is a tour de force. -Ski
The Orville had a pretty rocky pilot in my opinion, but the show got WAY better as it went. Hopefully not too many people were scared off because of the pilot.
That and the people who are stuck in costumers and those masks for en entire day. Hours of prep makeup and then shooting. I personally would never be able to have that on me for 2 hours I would itch and sneeze etc, probably get a panic attack too.
You can tell that this Dirk dude is full Pro at this, just by looking at how still he is holding. Except for a few motions near the end, the only movements he made are when they were pushing on him. Some severe self control right there.
I love this show and all it's characters. I ran out of stuff to watch and gave it a shot and It quickly became one of my favorites. I've watched it twice now. Great story lines, costumes, well incorporated humor, perfect formula of characters and the actors who play them. I can't decide which is one's my favorite cause they all have their own unique quirks. I'd high five them all.
I'm Loving the Orville, it's genuinely the best attempt at bridging Comedy with the themes of TNG I could have hoped for. Most of the best comedy comes from getting the difference between this show and something like TNG. What would Packard do if he were trapped in a zoo. He'd act all high horse trying to convince the zoo keepers what they are doing is wrong. He'd come up with some sciency way to be saved, or the crew on the ship would infiltrate to rescue him. What did Seth do, he sat around in his underwear day drinking. To get him out they just met the advanced species at their level, they treated him like an animal and traded for him.
The amount of articulation the actor has with this method is great. They can actually act instead of grunting monosyllabically through a pound of latex.
Excellent Orville background and story, it makes me appreciate all the difficult, time constraint work behind the scenes. I look forward to all the character evolution videos.
Great to get a look into this show's inner workings more and hints of the direction it wants to go. Can't wait to see what happens as it matures like every Sci-Fi does the first few of seasons.
Oh yea, specifically The Next Generation. I'm also pretty sure I heard him stop himself from saying "Cardassian" (clearly what inspired the Krill design) as well
I forking love the Orville... It's like finally they nailed a comedy sci-fi show... Like they NAILED it. Lets hope they get renewed because you know with Sci-Fi shows now-a-days they never make it to the third season haha
Torbax Yeah I know what you mean, my sister and I were huge sci-fi fans growing up, but also comedy fans. We would write out stories that would take things like Star Trek TNG episodes or Star Wars movies - But we would write in comedy that seemed like it belonged there. This show is doing the same thing and its nice to see Seth bringing this new sci-fi comedy drama that geeks like us have always known should exist - and bringing it to life.
I'm enjoying The Orville quite a bit, it's a nice TNG nostalgia trip. Most TV shows are generally so serious and action-oriented these days. I like the light-hearted humour but it's not too overbearing, they make room for entertaining stories too.
Shadownet Spy from what I heard they were people passing by in the Kalaban zoo,,,I guess they stopped and looked at Ed and Kelly longer than the others. I heard it on an Orville podcast I'll have to re-listen to it to know for sure.
This reminded me of the old show Face Off, which was all about creature make-up. It was a GREAT show - I never got tired of watching the make up artists work - they are SO talented.
I would enjoy hearing from Dirk Rogers the suit performer about what it's like to have to wear that make up for so long and how it is different for an actor who has to get his performance to come through that kind of makeup as opposed to an actor with a bare face.
that would be the lease interesting tho...I'm sure you can find a few channels with them speaking about their experience . I personally could care less about actors . I want to know more about the behind the screen.
Whats also awesome is they are using physical models of the ships and miniatures for special effects in some scenes. Love this kind of work put into a show. I think CGI overall should be used as a supplement, not to entirely replace practical vfx.
I was so not into the Orville after they fired the security officer......BUT the Universe has brought this to me and asked me to give it another chance. well then ok..... Love from Sydney. Macfalane stop sleeping with your cast ....but if do..... grow up!! a hole!!! Halstone is great for the show. She represents the new generation who are much smarter than many of us. I am from the Pleadian Star system and I know you make the first officer to look like one one of us and to project yourr version.........anyway.....Halston is good for the message you bring to humanity. I trust you will make the right decision...... Love and light.
The Orville season 1 : Oh good fun, very nice The Orville season 2 : Damn..still very good ! The Orville season 3 : Im blown away.. they seriously upped it. holy shit..!
I was a fan too of… I knew he wanted it to look like… y’know like… old sci-fi shows… Trek, the word you can’t say is Trek. Helluva transformation, looks amazing.
I'm really glad that they went with a bit of an old school method for make up, considering it usually holds up and stands the test of time better. There's shows and movies that came out in the 2000's that look AMAZING still, to this day. And there's stuff that came out 5 years ago that was half CGI and already looks like crap. 🤷♀️ I think The Orville did an AMAZING job on the make up in this show. 😍
U guys did such an amazing job! Love the show and all the make up. I really don't want to get involved into any brand bashing, but, as much as I seriously enjoy Star Trek Discovery, they did an awful job on the Klingon make up. I'm not speaking about the horrendous redesign, but how it's applied. Looks incredibly stiff and mask like. Anyway, boldly create what noone has created before.
The kind of show I would kill to work on as a makeup artist. The prosthetics are fucking amazing and I would love to see the beginning stages of each species during pre production.
From the first look at them, I always thought the Krill looked very elegant in their own way. They may look scary by human standards, but I also find an undeniable beauty in this fictional species!
They all look like that. Every person that sits in those chairs knows they will be sitting in one spot for quite a while unable to do a damn thing until it's done. I've been there. It's fun to act like a monster in full makeup, but to sit in that chair, It can bore you to tears.
Screw the new klingons, it's throwing me so much out of the show , I have to keep reminding myself oh yeah that's a klingon (jesus wth were they thinking)
I dont believe they actually switched , the one your talking about black with the white dot shows up(Because of lighting) when they are talking to other spaceships and still might show up in the future. the other episodes they were not talking to a cameras or directly facing lights so that effect isn't so apparent. but i agree it looked cool. *also i believe they just didn't put contacts on this actor, not actually saying his eyes will be like this.
You know what, I bet when it came to do the series make up they had the script for "Krill" in development and they knew they needed the human eyes for that episode to convey the actors through it.
I actually visited KNB FX once, it was fucking insane. They had so much fun stuff from their movies, and from upcoming stuff, and Howard Berger and his norwegian wife was very friendly. I'm glad that in the age of digital effects there's still a few remnants of awesome practical stuff out there, digital's great and all but it's just good to have guys like these. Fun fact, the t-rex head you occasionally see in the background is one of the actual ones from Jurassic Park!
we probably didn't notice Alara got eye brows after the pilot??? Are you kidding me LOL It was the 1st thing I noticed. I watched the pilot like 8 times before the second episode I was use to her with out them. I love the show... but yeah it I noticed.
The Orville, even with it's unnecessary forced jokes, is a better Star Trek show than Discovery, the Krill are so much nicer than the Hairless melted-engineer-looking Klingons, well done! I never thought I'd say this, but I now actually wish they let McFarlane produce Star Trek a few years ago :T
Mark Arandjus he tried pitching what ultimately became Orville to CBS but they said no, so Seth took it to fox and added parody to it to fall under fair use....Orville is what we got.
WOW first I amazed that the ACTOR under the work are so wonderful to have it on for so long. Of course the MAKEUP ARTIST are amazing skills to bring life to so many aliens. thanks for sharing this
I'd say there's plenty wrong with ripping off every idea from another show, but if Star Trek now, because of Abrams, is kind of a different thing, people are giving this a pass. Its like if New Coke came along and Coke Classic dissapeared, and some other company decided to make Coke Classic (now with garbage humor), people would take it, lacking an actual Coke Classic. That's all this is. A "good enough" sub for what people would like to have and its fine. But its morally dubious at best.
+Fuzzycat, at least Discovery is an original show, while Orville is trying to be a Star Trek with Family Guy jokes. It´s a Family guy Star Trek Special, but a whole season.
That dude was a serious trooper, the way they were kinda manhandling his head like an inanimate object at times. From the beginning of the show to now (geez, I didn't even realize till afterwards, this video is almost 5 years old) they've definitely become more "humanized" for lack of a better word, that is to say less monstrous and more relatable as an alien race, the more we get to know them, just through the visuals alone.
So far i really don´t know what to make of the orville, but the qualitiy of the design is excellent. The ship models look great, the cgi, too. The aliens kind of remind me of star trek Voyager, which is not a good sign. The Krill look a lot like Hirogen, with a litte bit of Yem Hadar from DS 9 in them. It was very interesting to see how the process works, and what skill and patience goes into this. Thanks, Tested!
This is awesome work. Basing the make-up FX on low cost established tech, means good savings in the whole budget. Also, it's not a bad show. I find it very entertaining. It's like a crossover between Star Trek and Red Dwarf.
