'Sex and the Neanderthals: Revealed', a 'Wall to Wall' production that recently aired on Channel Five, tasked Hybrid with designing and creating the many Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons needed for the shoot.
Working closely with Director Tim Lambert, Prosthetic Designer Mike Stringer and his team came up with a look and style that was based upon the new scientific theories the documentary was keen to explore.
The distinctive makeups were a mix of half face silicone prosthetics, individually sculpted teeth for the Neanderthals and multiple beard and hair work for both races.
To ensure the 'look and style' of the show was kept uniform, Hybrid provided a full Makeup and Prosthetic on set crew to cover the daily applications, which ranged from four principals and up to eight at times.
