12:00pm Prosthetics show & tell with Paul Jones, prosthetics makeup designer and examples of alien races.

It was like watching a beauty pageant as all of the various alien characters descended from the balcony and walked across the stage as their character and outfit was described. Grant Bowler also demonstrated how the Liberatta kiss.

12:10pm Free-form Q&A — group will mingle in Needwant with panelists, et. al until lunch.

We mingled with the stars. I got to speak briefly with Mia Kirshner: Mia Kirshner Q&A – Syfy Tour 2012-10-15 11-25

Then Grant Bowler introduced us to Jessica, who plays all of the Liberatta on the series: Jessica Q&A – Syfy Tour 2012-10-15 11-25 It was interesting to learn from Jessica that her extensive head-to-toe prosthetic makeup takes less than two hours. I asked her if she has ever done scenes playing opposite herself. She said she hadn’t, but thought it would be a lot of fun to do a scene out of make-up as no one would recognize her.

 

12:30-1:15pm Group heads back to lunch room for catered lunch.
1:15pm Busses depart for Warehouse 13.

As the actors had to go back to work, we quickly grabbed some lunch before heading off to the Warehouse 13 set. But that is a story for the final part of our Syfy Digital Press Tour 2012 coverage, tomorrow.
