Interview  |  Claudia Black
Crew compliments

Picture Is there anything else you'd like to add?

Just that the crew are quiet achievers, and I know it's not really part of their job description to do interviews, but Farscape's won a lot of technical awards over the years and everyone worked incredibly hard on it.

The actors always get asked, because of the make up, "Wow, were your hours really long?" Well, the makeup artists had to be there just slightly ahead of the actors. There were people there always earlier than us and generally later than us who had incredible discipline and creative ability.

I was in awe of the makeup department. Every year, the Creatureshop, the wardrobe department, always managed to meet their deadlines, always managed to improvise and to compromise, and the relationship that we had with our makeup team was vital for our survival and mental stability on set. So I would like to acknowledge all the work that the skilled technicians did on our show for so many years in difficult conditions.

They're not the ones that get the applause when we go to conventions, [so] I would like to acknowledge them and thank them, and if I don't see them again on Farscape, I really hope I see them on something else, and it was an absolute priviledge.
