While we often focus on the intense and tough journeys the characters face in The Hunger Games, today we’re taking a look behind the scenes to see just how much the cast struggles through their costumes, makeup and prosthetics. Elizabeth Banks faced tons of struggles with her wild accessories and avant-garde clothing. The actress was often weighed down with heavy material or stuck inside tight clothing that made moving very difficult. When the actress was wearing the gorgeous Butterfly dress, she actually had a few people on set who were assigned to help her go to the bathroom when she needed to! On her feet, Banks was wearing “Fang Shoes” by a famous shoe designer - these heels are just as uncomfortable to wear as they sound! Filming the Capital scenes was tough for both the actors performing - including hundreds of extras, and of course the makeup hair and costume teams who all had to bring the magic to life. These crew members were often on their feet for hours at a time and all before shooting. As for the actors, thick layers of prosthetics and glue all over their bodies to attach them was not an ideal situation.
The first time Eugenie Bondurant had her make-up done as Tigris, the process took a whopping six hours! Wetsuits caused a few issues for Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson - Lawrence got so itchy at one point that she knocked over a giant sacred stone trying to find some relief! Hutcherson struggles with the heat of Hawaii in a wetsuit while filming such intense scenes. We’ve got the scoop on all this and more!

    Mind-blowing lengths to get into character 🤯
  • @greeeneyes91
    I watched the Hunger Games countless times and never noticed Effie's shoes
  • @AquaSventi
    The costume designers deserve all the credit. Effie's butterfly dress was gorgeous.
  • @WINWIN_1707
    Hunger Games still remain my favorite series and I really hope they releases more movies. I really wanna see how Haymitch won his game. And also Finnick and Johanna's games.

    They never spoke about Effie's wardrobe for the Capitol Party in "Catching Fire". In an interview she said it was so hard to move that crew members literally had to keep carrying her around until it was time to shoot the scene. Effie may not have appreciated the jumpsuit look of District 13 but I'm sure Elizabeth did. In any case I'm sure looking back it was an honor for all of the actors to wear these incomparable designs <3

    I’m most sympathetic to Elizabeth Banks. The outfits while fitting of the character looked incredibly uncomfortable and awkward. She pulled it all off though. So my hats off to the actress for that. She made the style work.

    Jennifer Lawrence Is the third youngest Oscar nominee for best actress in a leading role, at age 20 years, 163 days. Only Quvenzhané Wallis in Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), at age 9 years, 135 days, and Keisha Castle-Hughes for Whale Rider (2002), at age 13 years, 309 days, were younger, at the date of nominations announcement.
  • @adrienneclarke3953
    I never noticed the shoes or butterfly dress and I love and watch the movies regularly. It is interesting the different things we pay attention to In the movies
  • @merlinho0t
    Wow, I had no idea they went in that hard with costumes and makeup for the Capitol citizens.. 400 extras all with special makeup, wigs and costumes? That’s insanely impressive and makes me appreciate that makeup team so much. That had to have grueling to be doing that on your feet for 9 hours each day.
  • @pheebs_vr
    I so badly wish they would make more hunger game movies, who else?!
  • @Whatshername2
    I think the hunger games, in my opinion, is a very underrated movie because the acting was brilliant
  • @melanated_persephone2334
    Hair Trouble Arc: Have these people never heard of wigs and weaves?? They didn't necessarily have to chemically alter her natural to the point she needed it cut off.
  • @blueeyedstray6238
    Oh how I would have LOVED to be a Capitol extra. I wouldn't even have minded them bleaching my brows if I got to wear awesome Capitol couture.
  • @alexlucas27
    If Jennifer had trouble with the prosthetic boils, I don’t even want to hear the actress of Glimmer’s experience.
  • @lordvenjix3757
    Painful Prosthetics and Better CGI makes Best Remembering characters in the Tv Series and Movies
  • @padmeSkywalker
    Damm imagine how much process it was especially outfits, hair, makeup I bet it was torture. Imagine how much full body makeup it took for Jennifer Lawrence to undergo when she played mystique in x-men
  • @talithacrow7530
    I never understood how they manage to ruin actors hair when there are so many dyes that don't damage hair or high quality wigs. It's almost like some movies try to ruin their actors hair so they can make sure they're committed or something
  • @solo_solo
    Its kinda sad u cant notice Effie's shoes right, only when its pointed out. They look beautiful n painful at the same time n deserved def more attention🥲 😬
