Yes, it would not be worth the $25 I spent on an extra DVD -- well, the case is kinda pretty -- if it didn't have Tumnus extras. In fact, I loved them so damn much, I screencapped a good lot of them to amuse you all!
WARNING. This is an extremly image-heavy post, with something like to 20 - 30 pictures. Dial-up users, beware, but the awesome-ness below the cut is probably worth it! :D
Also, don't hotlink. Everytime you hotlink, a baby cries in a movie theatre.
We start off Andrew and the lot designing the overall look of Tumnus!
Okay, and these next two images? Are here because of a sad fact I never ever realized until I watched this: Tumnus' ears can move around! As demonstrated here.
The cuteness, it burns us. Now for some pre-production designs, including a go for the original style of Tumnus (I.E., the long tail and black fur). To be honest, the second picture is just nightmare-inducing. O_O
The following is a short, hilarious clip of James bouncing around in a housecoat in full Tumnus costume, including the scarf, pretending to be a boxer. While it is so cute that it'll make your eyeballs explode, it's a bitch to try and screencap, so excuse the shitty images.
PEACE OUT!
Here, they talk about how they went through many different designs just on Tumnus' scarf alone, something like six, I think. Just that fact alone should tell you just how much detail went into this movie.
"Make the hair go lower, the fangirls will go nuts!" "Whoa, there, Andrew."
The look on his face? PRICELESS. You just know he's asking, "You want me do to WHAT?"
More obligatory ear-ness. Who, me, obesessed? You jest.
Andrew is digging for some gold!
And now James is going to require years of therapy.
Actually, they were talking about how they went about making prosthetics for Tumnus' nose. For those of you who missed it, Fauns have slits for nostrils instead of the round, human ones. Again, detail luff.
I'm not going to even try to explain these next few pictures. Obviously, make-up pics, but they're just BIZZARE.
Clearly, the people of
tumnus_love aren't the only ones who like to fawn over the Faun.
STRIKE A POSE.
Tumnus remains unamused at my attempts at humor.
I'm including this shot just because I'm a Special Effects nut, and I never realized that it was a wig over a helmet; I always assumed the ears were strapped on. Very nice!
Become a Faun, get the special treatment!
"Who the hell are you? Get outta my trailer! Security!"
PSSHAW! Come on, it was a Tumnus special, and you didn't expect Georgie to poke up somewhere? Shame on you, good sir.
Now we move on to the segment where they explain how they made Mr. Tumnus' Faun legs look so freaking fantastic.
AKA, James pretends to be a Christmas tree.
AHEM. WELL, UM, ER... MOVING ON.
Well, Tumnus is so glad you have enjoyed this exploration into the behind-the-scenes stuff.
"Now, please, go buy the Special Two-Disc Collector's Edition so you can actually watch this stuff and not laugh at really, really bad pictures and even worse jokes. Buh-bye!"
