Wednesday Behind The Scenes Video Reveals The Standout Character

Wednesday Behind The Scenes : Only a few weeks after its Netflix debut, “Wednesday” has swiftly gained popularity, prompting viewers to eagerly request a second season. The cast has impressively woven well-known characters into the fresh storyline, with Thing, the severed hand, delivering a standout performance in the series. In the linked behind-the-scenes video below, the creative team discusses the process of bringing this character to life with the leading lady, Jenna Ortega, and actor Victor Dorobantu.

The opening of the tape showcases Wednesday herself, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, who introduces Victor Dorobantu, the actor behind the character known as the Thing. Dorobantu, who possesses the necessary hand movements and is a skilled magician, rather than an experienced actor, was brought on board to breathe life into this iconic character.

Dorobantu’s portrayal of Thing on Wednesday stood out, as he managed to convey emotions through simple finger movements, describing them as “movements that may express feelings.” Despite the potential distraction of acting alongside a hand in a blue suit, Turnbull noted that Ortega remained unfazed, immediately delving into discussions about her character’s bond with the family “pet.” Ortega found working with the hand surprisingly easy, although she acknowledged that there were instances when Dorobantu wasn’t in a scene, and the hand served as a placeholder for the VFX team to replace with Thing later on.

The exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse offers a delightful treat for fans of special effects, taking a deep dive into the world of Wednesday and unveiling the intricate process of erasing Dorobantu from certain images, while also shedding light on the magical creation of Thing. One of the most awe-inspiring moments occurs when Turnbull reveals that while ‘paint outs’ in regular projects are relatively straightforward, the Wednesday team faced the daunting task of virtually removing ‘90% of the human being’ due to Dorobantu’s near-constant presence in nearly every frame. Could this remarkable endeavor mark the beginning of Dorobantu’s acting career, given his unwavering dedication to the role, which undeniably shines through in his performance?

As expected, Tim Burton has once again created a masterpiece with ‘Wednesday,’ preserving the classic elements while infusing an even more eerie twist and faithfully holding onto beloved characters like The Thing. The new series has garnered widespread acclaim, with praise pouring in from ordinary viewers like us to music icon Lady Gaga. If you haven’t had the chance to watch it yet, ‘Wednesday’ is currently accessible for streaming on Netflix.
