On Location: Part 18
Ishi Tib Airhead


Ishi Tib is the name of the bigheaded green alien next to Trisha.

Summary by: Don Keefe

(Please note that the following comments are my opinions and speculations regarding the production of Episode II and do not necessarily reflect those of TheForce.net)


This On Location is introduced by another extra on the Mos Espa set..A GUY! Anyway one of the interesting things about this guy is his costume. Does it look familiar? It did to me. It reminded me of Captain Panaka?s uniform from Episode I. I realize it is not identical but EP II does take place in the future. Perhaps the uniform changed as well. Does the Naboo guard once again visit Tatooine? Or is this just some alien costume?
In this 2 minute and 25 second On Location clip, Ahmed interviews Trish Bretland who helps the alien extras keep cool in the desert heat.



Ahmed: Ahmed Best here, here with in Tunisia, trying to give some people some air in the head. Airheads. We?re here with Trisha, How?re you doing Trisha?




Trisha: Hi, good thanks. It?s a bit warm out here so we?re just going to give these guys some air. We are going to prop open the mouth a little, got a little tear here I?m m going to have to do some minor repair on. We?re going to have a drink break soon, so we?ll just prop the mouth open so he can get some air. It gets hot in there.

Ahmed: How long do you keep the creatures in their heads?

(Hey Ahmed! Extras are people too.)

Trisha: Well we try to keep it to no more than 30 minutes in this heat. Preferably less if we can. They?ve been in there for about 20 minutes now so we?ll do a few more takes and then take a drink break.


Ahmed: How long does it take to make the head?
Trisha: I haven?t been involved with that so I can?t answer that, but it is lined with Lycra. They do a mold of the head, then make a Lycra gusset, and then they mold the latex over that.


Ahmed: So it gets pretty hot in there?
Trisha: Very hot and the vision is limited do they have to walk with a human extra such as this gentleman over here because they can?t see very well.


Ahmed: You?ve had Australians in heads and now you haveTunisians in heads. Are there any differences? Do they (Tunisians) react better to the heat?
Trisha: Pretty much the same I find. The Tunisians are more tolerant than the Australians. I think the Australians must be wimpy.

(Please note to our Australian readers that Trisha made the last remark and she is an Australian.)

Ahmed: You heard it here first from an Australian.

Trisha: No, actually most of them we?re really good but there were a few tough days where we had some problems. Communication is probably the biggest problem but we have six interpreters working with us and they have been brilliant.

Ahmed: Thanks Trisha. Ahmed Best www.starwars.com. Mos Espa main street, creature heads, that?s all!
