#david's contact lenses

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Michael: There are what people like to call Easter Eggs hidden around in most scenes.

David: Yes.

Michael: And one of the things that I take a lot of enjoyment out of is seeing if David can pick up on what they are in any particular given scene. And I'll say to him, 'So in this café, there is a very obvious reference to... whatever.'

David: You should remember I have contact lenses and sunglasses on, I can't... I see very little.

the things I would do to see the good omens blooper reel

[fellshish]

I can’t stop thinking about this tiktok i saw of a girl who was an extra in the good omens s2 bar scene and at one point david tennant just SMASHED into a wall and she was like omg are you alright and he said yeah he could just barely see with the snake eye contact lenses and the sunglasses and now i think about it every time i rewatch the confession scene like man walked off turned back around and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkeyed michael sheen’s pursed lips

Hi Neil,

I dont know if anyones asked yet, but in GO season 1 was Crowleys snake eyes CGI or contacts?

Ive been wondering for a while, and this picture i stumbled across only makes me wonder further. These are clearly selfies, and it just makes me wonder if he had to send off that picture so somebody could edit his eyes, which is rather silly.

Also, if they are contacts, did David have trouble seeing?

They were contact lenses, in Season 1 and Season 2.

why does he have the blue eyed stare in this picture

Day #825 of David Tennant as a Fennec Fox 🦊 @neil-gaiman

[azirafuck]

angel crowley wasn't that happy actually. that's just david tennant enjoying not having to wear contact lenses

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

From the DVD commentary, episode 1:

Neil: We had to do a certain amount of [CGI] work on his eyes, because this was more than any other scene the one where his eyes kept twisting, or one of his eyes

Douglas: You mean the contact lenses?

Neil: The contact lenses, yes.

Douglas: Yeah, we had that as a problem because generally David actually wears contact lenses for real but what we had was it a smaller contact lense than our kind of stunt contact lense. And they would float around on occasion.

Neil: Yeah. I mean, it's weighted, so it's always meant to go down. But sometimes it didn't. And on this scene, it didn't. So we had to sort of nip in with CGI and make the eyes work .

Douglas: Which we probably should never tell David Tennant about. Because if there was a chance to do CGI on all his eyes, he would grab it.

Neil: He would.

Hello OperaFanToMet

Do you have any photos of David Shannon as the phantom.

But not the Catherine Ashmore ones?

Just of him in costume?

Many thanks

I don't know when I became OperaFanToMet (my nick means "The Phantom of the Opera" in Norwegian), but I'll take it...

There aren't a whole lot of non-stage photos of David Shannon as the Phantom. He was beautifully photographed by Catherine Ashmore, but he played the role for one short year and not a lot of backstage photos surfaced. Partly because it was in the infant years of social media, partly because they were still a bit reluctant to share backstage stuff in 2009.

So what I have is him and Gina Beck goofing around:

Post-performance photo with Gina Beck and Simon Bailey:

Curtain call with Rachel Barrell:

And him documenting the use of contact lense:

That's about it.

Redacted Head canons ੈ✩‧₊˚

✧.* Freelancer is such a loser but they’re so unaware of how loser-y they are that they’ve gone full circle and are cool as shit

✧.* Sam is tatted as shit but none of them show since he’s always in a long sleeve flannel. Whenever people see the tattoos it comes as quite a shock but he suits them so well.

✧.* Morgan barely ever reads the news but he always picks up a paper because he loves the puzzles and crosswords

✧.* Angel has so so many accessories for their outfits and after they moved in with David he built them a personalised hidden cupboard to store them in for an anniversary present

✧.* Gavin has a pierced tail and horns with little heart jewellery in them. He just walked past a piercing shop one day and was intrigued since they don’t do that in Aria

✧.* Sweetheart is so good at style. They love going thrifting and finding pieces for all of their friends, especially waistcoats and jewellery.

✧.* Baby hates wearing chunky bracelets/necklaces now, they don’t like the feeling of the weight but can’t pin-point why

✧.* Asher went to a class to learn how to braid babes hair for them. Babe dyes his for him, no lessons just winging it but it turns out 10/10.

✧.* Lovely wears contact lenses a lot as part of their style, they have contacts of their original eye colour but haven’t been able to bring themselves to put them in.

✧.* Morgan has a ‘Sam’s flannel’ sized collection of plaid pj pants. He was wearing them when his listener turned up to his house.

✧.* William has never moved on from the partner he had before he was turned. He’s forgotten what they sound like.

Hm, guys. Quick update

Remember my Crowley tattoo?

So, I've been holding myself against dyeing my hair red, cause I knew I would lose my mind, but turns out...

I have the jeans

I have the boots

I have the shirt

I will have the sunglasses on Tuesday

I will have the red hair on Wednesday

I will have the vest on Friday

I will get the yellow snake contact lenses the week after

...I guess Crowley season is officially open

After Friday, you can officially picture the person behind the screen as a wish version of Fyre Type David Tennant Pokemon

Finding out that DT struggled to see out of Crowleys contact lenses is hilarious to me because he's wearing them CONSTANTLY so one of the stars of the show just. Didn't see any of the scenes.

Was Michael Sheen mouthing his lines along with him? No idea

Was Neil Gaiman in the background moving things around? Clueless

Was John Hamm naked from the waist down for every scene? Who knows, not David Tennant that's for sure.

[fellshish]

‘David tennant was acting basically blind because of the snake contact lenses’ is the good omens fandom’s ‘viggo mortensen broke his toe’

Hello, Mr. Gaiman!

I was wondering about Crowley's pupil effect going in season 2.

Will it be a combo of David wearing the silt contacts and then fixed with CGI or will it be all CGI now?

Thank you!!

Whenever it's David Tennant acting it's contact lenses. The Fennec Foxes didn't like wearing the contact lenses, so they are always CGId. Raoul could go both ways.
