With the finale of Discovery upon us. Trekcore recently posted a video of the original make up design for Saru. Please take a look here ..... https://x.com/TrekCore/status/1796178739312701580

Please note that this is a thread on the original make up design of Saru and NOT a thread to bash your hate for ST Discovery. Admited it was loved and hated, but this is not the thread to discuss that aspect.

In regards to the make up I find it funky, but do agree that visually it would of been a nightmare for cast crew and viewers cos where would he be looking.

    It could probably have been done physically with microcontrollers and whatnot, but it would have been expensive and hot to wear at best, and the rubber would have been way too thick to emote through so the character would have been rather boring. Alternatively, they could have done it with CGI and a coordinate suit, but that would probably have been even more expensive in the long run.

    They could have tried using microcontrollers and physical mechanisms, but it would have been costly and uncomfortable due to the heat and weight, with thick rubber limiting emotive expressions, making the character dull. Alternatively, CGI with a motion capture suit might have been considered, despite its potential long-term expense, offering greater flexibility and expressive possibilities for the character's movements and emotions.

    they did a good moving from that to what we have. Saru was about the only thing i enjoyed about Discovery
