Outlander – Closer Look: Roger’s Hair and Make-up Epi 10

The journey was scheduled in story order so we had the luxury of allowing Richard’s own beard to grow naturally—his beard grows quickly so it was effective. A wig was used to lengthen his hair, and in the later stages, weft was added to lengthen the wig. Bruising, weather beating, and broken bones were a mixture of make-up and physical acting for Richard. When he … Continue reading Outlander – Closer Look: Roger’s Hair and Make-up Epi 10

Outlander Costume Design

George Washington He doesn’t appear in the books, but producers thought it would be fun to introduce his character as a chance meeting for Jamie and Claire in the show.

Outlander Set Design: The Wilmington Theatre Scene

A fun set for texture this season was the design of the theatre in Wilmington. This allowed production to make something much more opulent in design that many other sets this season. They used an old church in Glasgow and, in 48 hours, gave it a total overhaul in terms of the dressing, building a huge proscenium arch with lots of rich red velvets and … Continue reading Outlander Set Design: The Wilmington Theatre Scene

Bree and Roger’s Time Travel Wardrobes

Brianna Time Travels Her costumes leading up to her time travel were deeply personal for me. Her ‘through the stones’ dress was quite the dilemma. We had previously decided that Claire knew too much of life in the eighteenth century to think that a “Jessica Gutenberg” (Gunne Sax) dress would pass muster, but I knew how much it meant to the fans and made the … Continue reading Bree and Roger’s Time Travel Wardrobes

‘Outlander’ is TV’s sexiest show, but it’s also a great lesson in how to listen

When was the last time anyone really heard what you were saying? There are great reasons to watch Starz’s period romance drama “Outlander,” starting with the sex and sometimes ending with the sex. But for now, I’d like to praise what happens between the show’s main characters when they are clothed. Okay, that’s only a small lie. Even the most serious-minded “Outlander” fan is at … Continue reading ‘Outlander’ is TV’s sexiest show, but it’s also a great lesson in how to listen
