How do they do the flashback de-aging


I know they have the camera fuzzy as hell, but even that can't cover up how much younger Sigourney looks! I haven't seen makeup that works THAT well, or else everybody'd be using it. Is it CGI'd? Hell, this is making me want another Aliens movie!

Anyway, kudos to the show for their job on this. Most shows hardly bother.

I saw her on stage in October. I sat in the front row and she stood right in front of me. She looks that young in person. Seriously.

I was wondering about the same with the flashbacks of Carla Gugino's character.

I remember Tommy Lee Jones when he was doing interviews for MIB 2. He said, for the flashback sequences, they basically stretched his skin back and stapled it. Like a temporary facelift

Sigourney is pretty ageless anyway - but it amazing what a change in hairstyle does to making a character look younger or older.

I remember an old episode of St. Elsewhere - where they made many of the characters appear 20 years younger - pretty impressive in the pre digital age.
