Creating a Fake Chilly Look in a Studio for a ‘Fortitude’ Poster Photo Shoot

Here’s a behind-the-scenes video showing a recent photo shoot for the new British psychological thriller TV show Fortitude. It shows how the team went about making the actors look cold and frosty while posing in an ordinary warm photo studio.

Various products are used on the subjects’ faces to give the appearance of broken skin (with a ‘scar making’ material), red cheeks, and split lips. There’s also a fake snow product that can be used both dry to look like powdered snow or mixed with water to look like slushy, melting ice.

Here are the resulting promotional photos and posters that were created through this shoot:
