the helmet. Legacy also created a hollow
lek'ku and designed a very lightweight spine
that allowed for the lek'ku to have lifelike
movement and bounce.
STUNT PERFORMERS:
MS: A team of four wigmakers were
responsible for fronting all of the stunt
wigs, including Morgan Sellers, Jessica Mills,
Sasha Camacho, and Samantha Weiner. Face
replacement was oen used, so the stunt wigs
needed to be perfected so that the fronts
matched the hairlines of the actors (or the
wigs the actors were wearing) and adjustments
needed to be made to ensure that head shapes
looked similar enough to go undetected.
The unique challenges this project
presented were equally matched by the
amazing moments we shared with the cast
and crew. So many personal "bucket list"
items were fulfilled on this project, and every
day was filled with creativity, learning, and—
most importantly—collaboration between all
departments. •
