The Making of Shōgun - Chapter Four: Creating the Look | FX

[@FXNetworks]

Creating such detailed looks for hundreds of people at a time is unbelievably impressive!

[@ssotkow]

Congrats to Team Shōgun and FX for conjuring one of the most landscape-turning, all-consuming (like landslide) phenomena for an adapted new series in recent memory.

[@P.Whitestrake]

This show better collect as much as many Emmy awards. If not, WE RIOT! TORANAGA-SAMAAA! HOOO!! TORANAGA-SAMAAA! HOOO!! TORANAGA-SAMAAA! HOOO!!

This show is going to win some Emmy awards , because the detail of the show is so well done . If anybody is not watching Shōgun I don't know what are you doing rigth now ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ .

[@jbagger331]

It won't due to DEI selection criteria, Emmys demand diversity representation in percentages of onscreen cast.

[@ottenheimer8534]

​@@jbagger331thats bullshit.

[@jbagger331]

@@ottenheimer8534 Ehhh, no, they wrote down the criteria for representation in order to be eligible to be nominated for an Emmy.

[@kiritokazuto2398]

@@jbagger331 that's just ridiculous. I wonder if they'd treat a show with an all black cast the same way.

[@hopenield8234]

It was creeated to move away from mostly white casts, not to promote black casts. Hopefully it won’t backfire to prevent recognising different forms of diversity than purely certain numbers within one production.

[@peterslaby9782]

You can usually tell how serious a production is by the costume design and wow they really nailed it here. Everything looks amazing.

[@MrXabungle]

I love how much of the show relied on practical effects, costumes and makeup as much as possible and using CGI in appropriate ways

[@zibbitybibbitybop]

This show is the perfect fusion of grand-scale Western big-budget filmmaking with the Japanese perfectionist dedication to fine detail. With the right staff, cast and resources, you get a legendary masterpiece.

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

The esthetic of the show is astounding. Everything from the sets to the costumes to the very way they walk & carry themselves all looks incredible intricate & period correct. Shōgun is setting a new bar in terms of quality storytelling.

[@zy479]

That silk bald cap is so magical. You can feel its seamlessness when you think of Buntaro's close-up shots. He is always presented in tricky lightings like around candle lights and in that tea room misty day scene.

[@zy479]

The hands that work them! Chef's kisses.

[@wheeloffortune2908]

The artistry that went to produce this show is amazing. Everyone is delivering their A game

[@unhappygilmore7129]

Shogun doesn't disappoint so far very good production. Very entertaining.

[@larrybethune3909]

Master's of the Air was good but felt incomplete somehow. This is better.

[@themjpaul]

Let's just say, "I'm going to Japan", I know it's filmed in other places, but it's on my vacation list.

you can tell Sanada-san is having the time of his life on this show.

[@onetuffspartan1981]

i absolutely love how much love and care is going into showing us whats happening behind the scenes in this show. My life is film and movies and to have a grand amazing show like this, WITH all these features to watch is just amazing and makes me more excited for more then just the episodes airing every week. THANK YOU

[@gb3376]

Smiling Buntaro made me chuckle😂 He's an interesting character

[@velo99]

02:33 indeed

[@saffakanera]

Hope you guys win awards for the costume / makeup work, 10/10

[@harunaartstudio4233]

I have a impression that historical dramas in Japan these days have somehow modernized in a very wrong way. The way of samurai talking and their acting etc. Compared with the old days, recent ones are just too light samurai dramas. So I was very impressed that such neat drama were produced overseas. On the details I can see the Western sense though, but well balanced made for Japanese watchers and Western background watchers. One regret is that it may be difficult to produce a historical drama of this scale without foreign capital. I hope the Japanese medias, filmmakers will watch this programme and reflect on it.

[@kl2991]

It's like Godzilla Minus One is teaching the West about VFX and Shogun is doing the same to the East about historical drama

[@boxbox0000]

This remnind me of how an American video game studio created Ghost of Tsushima, an action samurai game that was so impressive even Japanese game devs said that they wish they did it.

[@kidgmusic]

I think both the actors and the crew all leveled up after this show. Really amazing series. I hope more ppl watch this and it gets the recognition it deserves ❤

[@KewpieGirl]

Hands down to makeup artists, hair, and the whole team of making these costumes for all cast and crew. They all look real, natural and authentic. I could tell they work so hard together. Best makeup of the year in tv series.

[@caroleappling2007]

The artistry , the beauty and detail that went into this product is just a feast for the eyes. I’m sure it help everyone in their performance. This show is amazing, I just blown away. More please.

[@iamai_iggs]

this is no doubt on par with some of the Oscar-winning costume/hair/makeup movies

[@P.Whitestrake]

Even better than some movies nowadays.

[@travelchoice89]

Loving the glimpse into the costumes & hairstyles 髪型 of Shogun! Those intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship ✨ are bringing 17th century Japan to life! Can't wait to see the final looks in action!

[@verdebusterAP]

Their attention detail is why this show is so good.

[@mbank3832]

This show is not just an entertainment, it is an art

[@wahn10]

LMFAOOOOOO

[@berliantisalamahu730]

i laughed out loud reading this comment LOL

[@samuel_m84]

You did a great job. The love that went even in the smallest details for being authentic makes this show so special.

[@jayjosephdy5596]

BEST TV SHOW IN 2024. Hands down! They'd be collecting Emmys soon! The details are on point! 💯🔥

[@ENnarion-9rl]

I wish there would be more shows like this, that feeling is just wow sometimes feels 1 may feel long or short I watch the first episode so fast but then it got into the show and to be honest it feel I was watching the tv for days.

[@carolinepinky7462]

This film will definitely be nominated for an Emmy Award. “Shogun” is currently being distributed worldwide Achieved a record of 9 million views on Fulu in 6 days. It is number one of all time on Fulu. That's how much people all over the world sympathize with it. Comparable to Game of Thrones In fact, it can be said that it is a work that may even surpass it.

[@KiamatChange-ke8nd]

I didn't watch game of throne after 4 or 5 series. Boring.

[@FallenAngelBrass]

In all fairness, Game of Thrones did everything Shogun did, but 8 times.

[@CarlmeisterWasTaken]

This show is like crack for me, I've never felt like this since the first few seasons of Game of Thrones

[@huangcuping1801]

Shogun shows dedication and respect to Japanese culture

[@hopenield8234]

The visuals in terms of costume, hair and makeup in this show ar awesome and truly groundbreaking. I do hope it gains the awards recognition it deserves.

This series is simply fascinating and unique, it makes us want to watch and keep watching, looking forward to the next chapter. But it is incredible to be able to see the precious and artistic work done with deep devotion and commitment to what is perfect. Behind the cameras, there is a perfect and magnificent work of art....a masterpiece.

[@javialex_88]

One of the best series I have seen, knowing something of the history that shaped Japan from what it is today

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

Anyone else's favorite character so far is Fuji? I hope we get more scenes with her in the second half of the series!

[@richardruff8712]

Many of us think that Fujiko is cute and hot !... It would have been better if the other female cast members had smiled more... They all seemed to be very wooden, and no personality, but Fujiko is a real scene stealer... !

[@sheggy1986]

@@richardruff8712 You don't seem to quite understand how acting works. Those were not the happiest times, saying that they don't have personalities just scream that you don't know much about japanese culture now or even back in that time period.

[@richardruff8712]

@@sheggy1986 Yes, I'm sure that you are correct... I was just attempting to make an apparent comparison between Fujiko, and all the other actors... I'm guessing that it was a serious time for all concerned, but, in this 2024 version, it just seems to appear that Fujiko has more of an outward personality, that we can appreciate...?

[@HansOlo-qe4pf]

If this show does not win all the Emmys we will riot! A show like no other, I've been watching TV series for over 35 years and this is one of the best ever. So sad we only got 1 year but this will forever go down as a masterpiece.

[@carlopadon]

I find Lady Ochiba's voice somewhat disturbing, and not in a bad way. It's so intimidating when you hear her small giggles and slightly sharp feminine voice that can make Ishido shut his mouth.

[@mk1gti]

This was actually the way women who were royalty would speak back in the day. The idea was that they were to present themselves as something like a living doll, minimal facial movements, expression of emotion, almost robotic. If you watch any of Kurosawa's films you will see this as well. Throne of Blood is one example, the primary character's wife hardly moves her lips and is like a ventriloquist's dummy. Very spooky the first time you see it.

[@bl3601]

Same. Don’t like it

[@Innamoramento9]

It's funny because the actress Fumi Nikaido is famous for comedy (Fly me to Saitama, check out the trailer) and in real life is a committed vegetarian and animal rights advocate who is admired by many Japanese women.

[@fizzlers444]

Lady Ochiba is so fascinating. I think the actress is incredible 👏🏻👏🏻

[@shin-mq9mx]

Authenticity って、「歴史をそのまま再現する」ことではないんだよね。そこを勘違いして粗探しするコメントも見かけるけど。 「海外の作品の中に登場する日本が、日本人から見て奇妙じゃない」ということが如何に画期的か、海外の人にはわからないんだと思う。 海外の映画やドラマに出てくる日本の描写は勘違いや間違い、時には侮蔑が酷く、それ自体が「トンデモジャパン」として日本では定番の苦笑いの対象になってる。 そんな中、「時代劇」という当の日本人が作っても粗が出やすいジャンルで、ここまで時代考証と創造性のバランスをうまく取った作品ができるとは思ってもいなかった。 エミー賞はもちろんだけど、日本からも何らかの形で表彰されるべき作品だと思う。
