Disfiguring the Phantom - Behind the Scenes | Love Never Dies

[@1S1NGG8]

For some reason, I find this highly entertaining... And when they were putting the white pieces of wet plaster or whatever it was, I was yelling, "It's a Ramummy!!!!"

[@AngedeleCor]

You know the poor guy is thinking, "Please let it hurry up n be over with." He's a trooper for going through that.

[@logandanae8692]

covering that face should be a crime punishable by law lol

[@xxthat0nexx]

See what he's did for us Phantom fans?! What a trooper.

[@Catnapay96]

"You can be the Phantom in Love Never Dies, but you have to do this"

[@BriLivesTheGoodLife]

Ohmygod ohmygod. The entire time I was watching this I was finding it hard to breathe. Props to you Ramin, I would not have say there! Love him as Phantom though :)

[@lesliecastro2548]

I've actually had a face cast done for my acting mask making unit - it's really not so bad. We got nose straws so we can breathe and someone talking us through the process. It's actually extremely calm (though we were lying on a table) and relaxing, almost like a facial. It takes about half an hour, but it's honestly so relaxing. It peels right off and leaves your skin feeling good. Bad thing is if you're wearing anything on your face or don't use enough vaseline hair/makeup comes out with it.

[@BabyMieuw]

Oh my! Although these artists work very quick, I would still be terrified! A lot of respect for Ramin and any other actors who undergo this procedure. It's the whole unable to move, see or hear anything experience that would freak me out. Let alone the fear of accidently getting my nose full with that stuff. To bad the sound doesn't work most of the time. Knowing what these artists have to say and explain what they're doing would perhaps help me find it less scary. But again: lot's of respect

[@aubreymaelzer56]

Its so sad seeing that beaitful face being covered

[@AStarAlmost]

This is so AMAZING!!! Ramin has such courage to go through all of this! It's ASTONISHING!!! Scary, but GREAT!!!

[@froface98]

he must really love that role if he's willing to go through all this misery.

[@eew12]

No. This is how they create a model of his head. One time thing. The actual makeup prosthesis is built on the model and then probably glued to his face each night.

[@wahinesurfergirl]

Omg, I'm even wondering what went through Ramin's mind, as they were covering his entire face the whole time, with wet plasters and all of that blue goop?

[@catiemaystamper]

What if he has to sneeze? :p

[@audioajunkie]

I would get SO claustrophobic!! Props to you, Ramin!

[@musicalacting]

THat's gonna be so claustrophbic!!!

[@kcummings611]

man! that is fantastic. he is one brave man. i would freak out if something like that was on my face! kudos to Ramin :)

[@TheLaurenJC]

That would freaking suck!!! Poor Ramin! Suffering for the arts!!

[@XXsarahbaybee]

aw my little baby!

[@Lizabelle014]

RESPECT

[@emgrace55]

I've had this done to my face, and it's actually kinda fun, but when it comes off, it is so bright out!

[@MissMiffed]

What... on.. earth!? How does he BREATHE!?

[@phantomlover1101]

i loved watching this exspeacially cuz its got ramin in it

[@LilaCaffee]

I could not sit still for that long! LOL the guy in the red reminds me of Mark from rent...

[@stuartbray]

@marissacapri11 You carefully work around the nostrils, leaving the airway clear. It is never a good idea to use straws as these can become dislodged or worse, knocked up into the nasal cavity by accident. Clear nostrils and airways are the priority, and once the alginate has set (in about three minutes) and stops moving, the nostrils remain unaffected. besides, if a person was unable to breath (as when they have a cold or blocked nose) you can either breath through the mouth. -Stuart

[@heeeyitsracheel]

Just...Perfect...

[@TheLaurenJC]

I feel so bad for Ramin in this moment... how long did this take??

[@Katiedid1985]

I just wished that this came with sound. I love watching these videos and this is really an education peice for me. but i just wish the sound was all the way through the video. Thank you lot for posting these. Keep them coming and I hope you never close down. That the show continues on forever. Both Phantom of the Opera and Phantom: love never dies. God Bless.

[@phantomdaae1981]

LMAO, I'm being silly, but I can't help but be amused when they keep clearing the blue stuff away from his nostrils. Seriously, though, even with the nostrils unclogged, I'd feel like I was suffocating with all of that stuff on my face and head.

[@t2rnus]

Oh my god! Poor Ramin! :O

[@SierraBoggessFan16]

That looked really cool. I wonder how long it takes.

[@shanadleonrye]

Dang! Just pray you don't have to sneeze.

[@liveforlife2494]

That looks so intense! Wow! I didn't know they needed to do a cast of the entire head.

[@jaytagle]

This is Way Too Cool!!!!

[@Nightmancyr]

Ohh, yes, very brave - I'd be utterly claustrophobic after 5 minutes!!

[@haydensbabyghurl]

That is so crazy how they do that! I don't know if i could sit through that, but I guess if it's only a one time thing then you just go with it.

[@RosesNightengales]

He's such a trooper! I love him

[@kamwrites]

It's in the description.

[@SierraArielBoggess]

LOVE LND!

[@debadeepsen1984]

For quite some time, I thought they wanted to cast him in Avatar 2...

[@hannahdavis408]

whats with the sound? or is that just my computer?

[@1S1NGG8]

this is so cool!

[@Kiltlover03]

awesome!!!!

[@TheRandomPhangirl]

Dude had to do this every day? Whoa! My respect for him just tripled!

[@chelsealoganWilson]

Thank you person with sense! I AGREE TOTALLY. I think it's going to be good! I think Mr. Webber can totally do this and make it just as awesome as the first!

[@ginger505]

bless him!! he looks a bit like a smurp with the blue stuff.. but oh my isn't he dishy mmm this is so clever! x

[@kelbo1rox2your3sox]

Wow! That's some serious molding--cheers to Ramin for staying so CALM. Ack, my neck would be KILLING me after the first few minutes...but then, I can't even wear a turtleneck without pain. xD; Majorly looking forward to LND--it's going to be brilliant. =D

[@crystalDM96]

This is what it feels like to be mummified!

Awww I hope he could breathe!

[@khooby922]

Wow plaster of paris? for real?!

[@Fullmetal1890P]

I'm so clausterphobic there's just NO way I could do that. Just another reason to adore all men who play the phantom.

[@BooBop1987]

That is something!

[@EvilVampireBitch]

hey coool they're mod-rocking his head

[@jp003d9141]

@CaelahBethyBear I'm assuming to make the mask, you have to do it all around to avoid cracks when trying to peel it off again.

[@44Greenwood44]

@musicalsterinspe no it's not that long. I do life casts myself.. they were 3 to work on it so it must have gone really fast. the alginate takes about 8 min to dry and the plaster.. maybe up to 15 min.. so about half and hour in tho mold for the guy max... not 2 hours

[@Bambammetje]

So this is how you make Smurfs

[@wooohooo727]

mmm, ive heard that the story isn't great, but the music is. i can't wait to see the show. however, i should warn that phantom of manhattan wasn't such a great book xD

[@wrightway123]

yes

[@kamwrites]

Phantom prosthetic for Love Never Dies.

[@corinniePop]

This looks excrutiating

[@theHighlyClassified]

how d'you breathe?! I don't see any nose straws!!

[@djosiane]

it's like watching the making of a smurf :)))

[@Ilovelokendo]

me estoy agobiando ver esto D: Poor Ramin!

[@lifetoast]

This video stops at 5:33 for many people, and it's really ticking me off. Could you fix this, please?

[@alwayspinkroses]

That looks like a lot of fun...unless you are the one in the chair! I'd love to be able to make up and stuff like that!

[@SuperKatyperrylovers]

TP the phantom!!!!!!!

[@JellisProductions]

There's no audio for me.

[@aeggesalat]

wow!? he's probably or of course he's gonna look amazing (for a disfigured person!) but in this video he goes from the smurf of the opera to the mummy of the opera so i'll be excited to see what he will look like when his "transformation" is complete ;D

[@Silverfang797]

is there no sound?

[@julianaperrusoo]

Gosh how is that possible to ramin to not get bored lol

[@alwayspinkroses]

@AnimalLuva2010 That's exactly what I thought LOL! Ramin didn't flinch though!

[@jump4jessica]

@EmilyGreene1984 it is a mold so they can create an easier way to put the scars on every night

[@Ekalb432]

hoo-ray for sound! at 6:40..!

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

What is that blue stuff?

[@roose85723]

wow

[@itsniceuphere]

What was that for?

[@NRP589]

it's a good thing they only need to do theis once and for those who asked if the makeup is similar to the original -yup!!

[@mavphantom]

I would not be able to handle this.

[@TRONwuzhere82]

Did he have to do this each and every time or was this for the original molding of his face for the mask? I mean, sheeeesh! There ain't NO WAY I could do that more than once!

[@1S1NGG8]

yup

[@MissTongCY]

its not an easy job to be a phantom!!!

[@MrSamster911]

read the description dude

[@SierraArielBoggess]

ONE-HUNDRED-TENTH comment! LOVE Love Never DIes! Oh, and Sierra of course!

[@chrismeister15]

Wow. I thought getting my teeth molded was scary.

[@noway222]

So all that just for the bit of disfiguration on the side of his face? Because that's the only part that the mask covers, right? Oh bless you, Ramin!

[@xxkristinee]

@dobrall When it comes to making masks and moulds of faces, they keep holes for their nostrils. So he's breathing out of his nose. The whole time they're making sure he has an airway for his nose. I've done it, it's annoying but it works :)

[@rachers101]

Phantom initiation.

[@mct4444]

no this is the casting process, they only have to cast his head once and then they can make the prostetics off of that mold

[@Erynsvoice]

is there supposed to be sound???

[@faithfj]

Good thing he is not claustrophobic, wtf?????

[@LovelyLyusha]

Imagine getting that blue stuff in your eyes... ouch!

[@flowerchild1950]

What a dreadful procedure, I bet Raoul was secretly smiling and Christine crying. LOL

[@playeraj96]

I played the Phantom in high school and i used basically the same thing he is and it really sucks! only mine wasn't so complex

[@emilly26rz]

5:21 me da agonia de ve o.o

[@Rockergal221]

sound just randomly decides to kick in after 2 minutes of silence...

[@Antkingjrx]

he is undergoing a lifecast I do them all the time it takes about 30-40 minutes and the guy doing it is expert Neil gorton and he is breathing through his nose and it's really relaxing and not scary they do this so they could have his lifecast so they could sculpt his phantom makeup

[@darklove271]

@FantsyChild07 well not all

[@Bev4Ever2]

If you think about it, he's probably used to it because they probably do the same thing for Phantom too.
