Jeremy Bulloch's Long Neck?

Malkavian · Dec 14, 2016

Is it just me or Jeremy's neck is long. When I see how much neck is exposed under his helmet and I look at my pictures it seems his neck is like a giraffe. Especially in the shot outside of Han's torturing scene where he looks up to Vader.

maybe I have a short neck-but I have never been told. thoughts?

Some of it is the camera angle in that scene. The point of view if from a low angle.

The collar plate has a big part too for this effect, as this, along with the back plate and the weight of the jetpack, flattens the shoulders.

Keep in mind in that shot, it's not Jeremy, that's John Morton.....

Whoa..... really? The scene with Fett standing with Lando outside the room is not Bulloch?

Major · Dec 14, 2016

Yes.... when I met John Morton at Celebration in Anaheim, we had a 30 min conversation about a lot of things........ that was one of the things he shared, he did the hallway scene outside the torture chamber.

Very lovely man.

I've met and talked to John lots of times....he lives in my neck of the woods. John Morton was actually in all the bespin scenes. Jeremy was on assignment for a stint somewhere else. They ended up using Jeremy as an officer standin for one Bespin scene.

John Morton signs all his autographs as Bespin Boba.

This has always bugged me as I see this on my own costume and a lot of members too. I actually wear my bucket a little high to compensate and mimc the silhouette.

Furious · Dec 14, 2016

Wow. I had no idea.

I do this a little too. Especially if you have big traps, the collar armor sits even higher.

Well

I didnt even think of this, hopefully this isnt a problem for me as I just purchased a full costume.

I feel ya there wasteland. What I've noticed helps as well, is to put extra cushioning on the forehead and less in the back. This pushes the helmet farther forward and helps increase the effect of spacing between your shoulders and helmet.

John Morton was only in the torture chamber-hallway-elevator scene, in the rest of the scenes was Jeremy Bulloch.

I can only state what John Morton personally conveyed to me.

Interesting thread. Glad I dropped by! I may have to make some adjustments to expose a little more of my neck to get the proper "silhouette." I was afraid that if my bucket sat too high, you'd see too much of my chin and beard. I've seen a several instances where guys troop with their chin / stubble exposed, and it drives me nuts, so I picked up a white balaclava to hide as much of my skin as possible (even though it's not required in the CRL at this time).

I've met and trooped events for both Jeremy and John (twice), and they're both very down to earth, salt-of-the-earth gentlemen. Gotta watch out for John when he drops a coin though! Sometimes he's sneaky, and throws down again after you drop yours!

I too wear it high the T just slightly above my eyes.

Wearing the helmet this way does make a balaclava necessary but I think that adds to the effect. Having full coverage helps maintain the illusion of reality, especially for kids who are looking up at you from below. Posture helps a lot too. You can see a drastic change in the way the costume reads when comparing early versions of my costume to later versions. Same basic parts just worn differently.

Have you ever thought of using the helmet skirt?
