Actors Painful Prosthetics & Costumes In The Hunger Games
While we often focus on the intense and tough journeys the characters face in The Hunger Games, today we’re taking a look behind the scenes to see just how much the cast struggles through their costumes, makeup and prosthetics. Elizabeth Banks faced tons of struggles with her wild accessories and avant-garde clothing. The actress was often weighed down with heavy material or stuck inside tight clothing that made moving very difficult. When the actress was wearing the gorgeous Butterfly dress, she actually had a few people on set who were assigned to help her go to the bathroom when she needed to! On her feet, Banks was wearing “Fang Shoes” by a famous shoe designer - these heels are just as uncomfortable to wear as they sound! Filming the Capital scenes was tough for both the actors performing - including hundreds of extras, and of course the makeup hair and costume teams who all had to bring the magic to life. These crew members were often on their feet for hours at a time and all before shooting. As for the actors, thick layers of prosthetics and glue all over their bodies to attach them was not an ideal situation.
The first time Eugenie Bondurant had her make-up done as Tigris, the process took a whopping six hours! Wetsuits caused a few issues for Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson - Lawrence got so itchy at one point that she knocked over a giant sacred stone trying to find some relief! Hutcherson struggles with the heat of Hawaii in a wetsuit while filming such intense scenes. We’ve got the scoop on all this and more!

Mind-blowing lengths to get into character 🤯
LOL HI!!!!!!
yes yes
I don’t get why they couldn’t make the outfits more comfortable!!
@@GoodForNuttingsame
I watched the Hunger Games countless times and never noticed Effie's shoes
I didn't notice them either.
Lol no cap
Same
Same lmao 😆
Sameee
The costume designers deserve all the credit. Effie's butterfly dress was gorgeous.
Its Alexander McQueen :D
@@blainedevonanderson7753 McQueen is a genius 😭
yes
In the underarms looked like they were about to be cut in half (oof) but you're not wrong it was absolutely beautiful!
@@blainedevonanderson7753no wonder!!😄
Hunger Games still remain my favorite series and I really hope they releases more movies. I really wanna see how Haymitch won his game. And also Finnick and Johanna's games.
Haymitch games would honestly be an awesome movie
@@catooomen8238 it was my favorite part of book 2 when they were talking about haymitch’s games so I would love a movie
Tell Suzanne to make a new book so they can make a movie
The newest book, "the ballad of songbirds and snakes" is really good. I believe that they've already started production and it should be released in 2023-2024.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
They never spoke about Effie's wardrobe for the Capitol Party in "Catching Fire". In an interview she said it was so hard to move that crew members literally had to keep carrying her around until it was time to shoot the scene. Effie may not have appreciated the jumpsuit look of District 13 but I'm sure Elizabeth did. In any case I'm sure looking back it was an honor for all of the actors to wear these incomparable designs
I’m most sympathetic to Elizabeth Banks. The outfits while fitting of the character looked incredibly uncomfortable and awkward. She pulled it all off though. So my hats off to the actress for that. She made the style work.
Jennifer Lawrence Is the third youngest Oscar nominee for best actress in a leading role, at age 20 years, 163 days. Only Quvenzhané Wallis in Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), at age 9 years, 135 days, and Keisha Castle-Hughes for Whale Rider (2002), at age 13 years, 309 days, were younger, at the date of nominations announcement.
I so badly wish they would make more hunger game movies, who else?!
They are making one for ballads of songbirds and snakes
2023 one will be out
Good thing their making one to come out this year.
YESSSSS
Wait…. Is there a book to go with it lol?
I never noticed the shoes or butterfly dress and I love and watch the movies regularly. It is interesting the different things we pay attention to In the movies
I never noticed the shoes but you never noticed the dress!?
The dress was so beautiful ✨
In all honesty when i see Effie all i can see is the caked on pancake foundation. Especially in the first movie
Wow, I had no idea they went in that hard with costumes and makeup for the Capitol citizens.. 400 extras all with special makeup, wigs and costumes? That’s insanely impressive and makes me appreciate that makeup team so much. That had to have grueling to be doing that on your feet for 9 hours each day.
If Jennifer had trouble with the prosthetic boils, I don’t even want to hear the actress of Glimmer’s experience.
Oh no
I know they used a dummy for her corpse.
Yes Yeah they used a dummy
Hair Trouble Arc: Have these people never heard of wigs and weaves?? They didn't necessarily have to chemically alter her natural to the point she needed it cut off.
Right! Like even inexpensive synthetic wigs can be altered enough to make it look real. Sadly not a common skill in the beauty industry.
they said in the video they rented 30 000 dollars worth of wigs for katniss, but ended up not using them? (except for the last movie) I wonder why they didn't use them
Yes! Wigs
I think the hunger games, in my opinion, is a very underrated movie because the acting was brilliant
Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress .
Oh how I would have LOVED to be a Capitol extra. I wouldn't even have minded them bleaching my brows if I got to wear awesome Capitol couture.
I was thinking the same
Would love to see more of this bts of Hunger Games
I never understood how they manage to ruin actors hair when there are so many dyes that don't damage hair or high quality wigs. It's almost like some movies try to ruin their actors hair so they can make sure they're committed or something
THIS 100% THIS. Like there is NO WAY her hair should've been falling off when it comes to BROWN hair dye. We're not bleaching the hair every time we dye it brown. And if her roots needed a touch up they should ONLY be doing the roots. There is NO REASON for her hair to be falling out.
I guess a logical explanation is the fact that they have to continually and consistently dye it so it looks more like a natural brown colored hair. Otherwise Jennifer's blonde roots would show up or the pigment would fall out quickly with showers and during the shooting of scenes with a lot of humidity and water (which is the majority of the movies lol).
@@constantine7953 Even with dye that’s gentle, consistent usage will cause hair breakage. There’s only so much hair can take
@@constantine7953 yeah but she was dying it back blonde each time
Painful Prosthetics and Better CGI makes Best Remembering characters in the Tv Series and Movies
Damm imagine how much process it was especially outfits, hair, makeup I bet it was torture. Imagine how much full body makeup it took for Jennifer Lawrence to undergo when she played mystique in x-men
Makeup artists and costume designers don't get enough credit!
That’s why the movies are amazing all the amazing effort the actors and everyone behind the scenes put in
Its kinda sad u cant notice Effie's shoes right, only when its pointed out. They look beautiful n painful at the same time n deserved def more attention🥲 😬
We need more movie series like this
Gosh those shoes could be used as a weapon.
Uh duh
4:47 OMG I would do the same thing Jennifer Lawrence if I saw the extras suffering
Gurl no one wants ur autograph
Wow… film production is just amazing 🔥
Amazing video love it
Amazing video 👍
i think the actor for effie had the most pain with the dresses makeup and shoes
Amazing
It be cool to make a hunger games series with their kids, maybe the plot story can be katniss and peetas kids that are a little older join up with finnicks son and accidentally stumble upon a discovery that....primrose never died? Dun dun dun, like maybe someone saved her in time from that explosion but only to use her for a plan to somehow bring back the hunger games and the kids somehow save primrose along with peeta and katniss, and effie and haymitch can be the aunt and uncle lol just some thoughts.
That would be ace
Omg
One of my favorite movie series 😍✨
i miss them aaa
Tigris is the reason I want them to make movie about the ballad of songbirds 🤩
Yea totally. I’m so happy Suzanne didn’t make a fourth book and instead did a prequel, because if she did then when a movie eventually came out it wouldn’t have the original cast with Jennifer Lawrence and stuff since they would’ve grown up to much.
They did and it’s coming out in November!
Johanna’s one of my fav characters, I’m glad that the creators of catching fire did her justice and didn’t cut her scenes out like they did with Finnck. Love you Jenna Malone
I love hunger games best thing ever
Elizabeth Banks was so spectacular as Effie!
You didn’t even mention Alexander McQueen once. The butterfly dress, the red dress, actually most of the dresses Miss Banks wore are from the collections of McQueen.
Effie slaying in these dresses
The hunger games are one of my favourite books and movies.
So excited for the new hunger games movie
Actually Elizabeth Banks' clothing was NOT custom made! They came from 2011 and 2012 fashion shows and she fit the conventional size for the clothing. She said so herself about fitting into the sample sizes
I wish there where movies and books about each games and how they where won by the victors
If a few boils hurt, glimmer's actress was probably in agony
They don’t hurt, it’s just not as comfortable as not having them. It can hurt when you remove them though if you didn’t shave first bc they stick and will rip out all your baby hairs.
We all still need to remember the rock prosthetic in the first movie😥
Fine. Ill re watch the whole series 😂
Love you
Bro I love hunger games I wish they had more movies and more books
I cant wait for the new movie
When’s the new movie coming out?
What new movie?
Poor banks, her dresses we heavy - like really! And she couldn’t eat or sit in any of them?!
I haven’t even watched the movies yet and im on the second book rn 😭😭
Making movies isn’t as glamorous as it seems! I’ve worked on a handful and it’s often exhausting, annoying, too cold or too hot, dusty or foggy or wet, just generally a lot of stress and discomfort. Just to tell a story.
I actually liked the butterfly dress.
Ive loved the hunger games since i was seven but never looked at effies shoes
Am I the only one who noticed that the thumbnail wasn't even Jennifer Lawrence????
at least jens hair didnt start falling out mid shoot unlike another actress whos hair did
Wasn't it banks Idea for the costumes to be cobstricting and high heels?
Hollywood does a horrible job with wigs! $30,000 for some brunette wigs? Sheesh!!
Not to mention the fact they managed to kill her hair without even bleaching it? It's really not difficult to keep dyed hair healthy, especially if you aren't bleaching it
wow damn wow damn banks is on here a lot
Cool 😎
Is no one going to talk about Natalie Dormer as Cressida in Mockingjay: Part 1???
Lmao this film is on my screen currently and this video came up on my phone bahahahaha
It takes a lot to film a good movie 🎥
cool
and katness is supper happy but scared for hunger games
That poison fog looks really painful
Oh god effies shoes…. I feel so bad for her
I wish I could see Jennifer Lawrence in real life
Oh my goodness, I hope the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes cast don’t have to go to these lengths!
No me
Life beats the movie
Let’s not talk abt how during Quarter Quell Katniss was the only woman tribute that survived
johana and enobaria😭
It sounds like Elizabeth just got tortured for 4 movies 😂😂
4:05 she looks very familiar
Commenting for algorithm
DID SHE SAY “Typing on a blackberry” WHAT YEAR ARE YOU IN 💀😭
Meanwhile Haymitch
Sounds like they need to start prioritizing actors comfort a little more
If they make a new movie which they probably won’t they should have one of Katiniss and Peetas kids should go to the hunger games and they some how escape (so they don’t have to fight) and run away with their whole family and have to survive in the woods Even tho since snow is dead they should still do that
When I was little I was an extra in suger and spice
Ok i havent even watched yet but if glimmer isnt on the list the wut-
they couldn't afford better fabric?
I’m sure the millions they were paid made it all worth while
Yeah spending hours on makeup for people in the back of the scenes that probably woildnt be seen but for a split second had to be hard.
Haha I thought I was the only one saying “poor me” when acting those roles, like that’s the job….. there should be no complaints when considering a star or lead roles compensation vs what they have to endure. They sign up for it, so suck it up
Costumers and costume designers should make it comfortable to wear
THEY RUINED HER HAIR???!I'm gonna kill them!She's amazingly georgeous man!The hunger games is a legend and it's not even that far they ended.The perfect cast and their strugle,they deserve everything!
and end result of make up looks something like from a party city
The last generation that movies were good.
They should’ve made ballad of the songbirds first bc is a mentor and WHO SAID HE WAS FROM DISTRICT 12?????????
OMG OR FINNIC DOSE NOT DIE AND HER WENT UNDER A UNDERWATER TUNNLE AND HE GOSE FOR HAYMITCH
I'd like to insert what ballet preformers go through daily for decades & how UPS drivers get so hot they faint. Except actors often make enough money to just retire after a few films, instead of doing it their whole lives.
eyelashes from Germany and Japan??😬🤦🏽♀️🤔 They truly are not familiar with working on a budget. Every Asian beauty supply... shoot all the beauty spots have a plethora of lash options.... folks even cut them to make their own.
So in this scene 1:40 they just washed the makeup away
Hi
okay but why does Elizabeth banks kind of look like Micarah tewers
Having actually had boils that looked like that.....the real ones are definitely painful
im so annoyed by people who think pixie cuts are ugly, and that includes jennifer lawrence. why does short hair always gets equated with being less attractive?
As the first female actress in a strong leading role I could care less
My Internet is not working😥
