Trivia

To coincide with the release of Shallow Hal
, Stern TV did a feature on how a thin actress (Nina Bott) is transformed into a fat woman (fat Nina) with prosthetic makeup and a fat-suit.

Nina Bott (one of the stars of GZSZ) volunteered to be the victim.

Jürgen Fischer designed Nina's new look which he applied within two hours (with the studio audience waiting) while being filmed by a DV camcorder on the makeup.

Most these images were taken from the camcorder footage hence the variation in image quality. The makeup itself is clearly not movie closeup quality but is surprisingly good considering the time constraints (and the presumably preparation and cost constraints): for example as the cheeks of the appliance is not blended but simply concile by the wig.

Nina Bott commented on the process:

Ich habe mich sehr schwerfällig gefühlt. Man hat nur beschränkte Bewegungsmöglichkeiten. Aber dies war nur ein Anzug – ich kann deshalb nicht wirklich sagen wie man sich als echte ‚Dicke’ fühlt.

Ich kann mir jetzt aber schon vorstellen, dass Autofahren oder sich mal schnell durch den Supermarkt drängeln nicht so einfach für einen beleibten Menschen ist...

Das Schminken war nicht so schlimm wie das Abschminken, weil einfach alles im Gesicht extrem klebt.

Es war sehr interessant und ich habe festgestellt, das Maskenbildner ein sehr spannender Beruf ist.

Besonders beeindruckend war, wie schnell und mit wie wenig Mitteln man ein anderes Gesicht bzw. einen anderen Körper bekommen kann.

(I felt very ponderous.

One has only limited motion possibilities.

But this was only one suit - I cannot really say therefore as one as genuine "thickness" feel funny.

I can introduce myself now however, that driving a car or times fast by the supermarket push anything away so simple for beliefin humans is not...

The makeup was not as bad as without makeup, because simply everything sticks in the face extremely.

It was very interesting and I determined, the makeup artist a very much stretching occupation is.

Particularly was impressing, as fast and also like few means one another face or another body gotten knows.)
