The year is 1907. It is 10 years after his disappearance from the Paris Opera House and the Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak-shows of Coney Island. In this new electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is his love - Christine Daaé. Now one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine is struggling in an ailing marriage to Raoul. So, it is with excitement she accepts an invitation to travel to New York and perform at a renowned opera house. In a final bid to win back her love, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband, and their young son Gustave from Manhattan; to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island… not knowing what is in store for them… - บันเทิง
For some reason, I find this highly entertaining... And when they were putting the white pieces of wet plaster or whatever it was, I was yelling, "It's a Ramummy!!!!"
You know the poor guy is thinking, "Please let it hurry up n be over with." He's a trooper for going through that.
covering that face should be a crime punishable by law lol

"You can be the Phantom in Love Never Dies, but you have to do this"
What if he has to sneeze? :p
Its so sad seeing that beaitful face being covered
oh lordy I would FREAK OUT with that stuff on my face. Mr Karimloo is a much more tolerant soul than I!
Omg, I'm even wondering what went through Ramin's mind, as they were covering his entire face the whole time, with wet plasters and all of that blue goop?
See what he's did for us Phantom fans?!
What a trooper.
he must really love that role if he's willing to go through all this misery.
Ohmygod ohmygod. The entire time I was watching this I was finding it hard to breathe. Props to you Ramin, I would not have say there! Love him as Phantom though :)
No. This is how they create a model of his head. One time thing. The actual makeup prosthesis is built on the model and then probably glued to his face each night.
I've actually had a face cast done for my acting mask making unit - it's really not so bad. We got nose straws so we can breathe and someone talking us through the process. It's actually extremely calm (though we were lying on a table) and relaxing, almost like a facial. It takes about half an hour, but it's honestly so relaxing. It peels right off and leaves your skin feeling good. Bad thing is if you're wearing anything on your face or don't use enough vaseline hair/makeup comes out with it.
That would freaking suck!!! Poor Ramin! Suffering for the arts!!
Oh my! Although these artists work very quick, I would still be terrified! A lot of respect for Ramin and any other actors who undergo this procedure. It's the whole unable to move, see or hear anything experience that would freak me out. Let alone the fear of accidently getting my nose full with that stuff.
To bad the sound doesn't work most of the time. Knowing what these artists have to say and explain what they're doing would perhaps help me find it less scary.
But again: lot's of respect
THat's gonna be so claustrophbic!!!
Dang! Just pray you don't have to sneeze.
LMAO, I'm being silly, but I can't help but be amused when they keep clearing the blue stuff away from his nostrils. Seriously, though, even with the nostrils unclogged, I'd feel like I was suffocating with all of that stuff on my face and head.
I could not sit still for that long! LOL the guy in the red reminds me of Mark from rent...
What... on.. earth!?
How does he BREATHE!?
man! that is fantastic. he is one brave man. i would freak out if something like that was on my face! kudos to Ramin :)
aw my little baby!
Ohh, yes, very brave - I'd be utterly claustrophobic after 5 minutes!!
This is so AMAZING!!! Ramin has such courage to go through all of this! It's ASTONISHING!!! Scary, but GREAT!!!
For quite some time, I thought they wanted to cast him in Avatar 2...
I would get SO claustrophobic!! Props to you, Ramin!
I feel so bad for Ramin in this moment... how long did this take??
i loved watching this exspeacially cuz its got ramin in it
RESPECT
I've had this done to my face, and it's actually kinda fun, but when it comes off, it is so bright out!
whats with the sound? or is that just my computer?
how d'you breathe?! I don't see any nose straws!!
it's like watching the making of a smurf :)))
This is what it feels like to be mummified!
So this is how you make Smurfs
Oh my god! Poor Ramin! :O
That looks so intense! Wow! I didn't know they needed to do a cast of the entire head.
Wow plaster of paris? for real?!
That looked really cool. I wonder how long it takes.
Wow. I thought getting my teeth molded was scary.
What was that for?
It's in the description.
Phantom prosthetic for Love Never Dies.
I'm so clausterphobic there's just NO way I could do that. Just another reason to adore all men who play the phantom.
Awww I hope he could breathe!
these peopel dont know how lucky they are to be touching him. hahaha
sound just randomly decides to kick in after 2 minutes of silence...
Wow! That's some serious molding--cheers to Ramin for staying so CALM. Ack, my neck would be KILLING me after the first few minutes...but then, I can't even wear a turtleneck without pain. xD;
Majorly looking forward to LND--it's going to be brilliant. =D
hey coool they're mod-rocking his head
its not an easy job to be a phantom!!!
Did he have to do this each and every time or was this for the original molding of his face for the mask? I mean, sheeeesh! There ain't NO WAY I could do that more than once!
wow!? he's probably or of course he's gonna look amazing (for a disfigured person!) but in this video he goes from the smurf of the opera to the mummy of the opera so i'll be excited to see what he will look like when his "transformation" is complete ;D
Gosh how is that possible to ramin to not get bored lol
mmm, ive heard that the story isn't great, but the music is. i can't wait to see the show. however, i should warn that phantom of manhattan wasn't such a great book xD
I would not be able to handle this.
So all that just for the bit of disfiguration on the side of his face? Because that's the only part that the mask covers, right? Oh bless you, Ramin!
This looks excrutiating
Imagine getting that blue stuff in your eyes... ouch!
I want my own phantom mask. :) Can I hire Mould Life to make me one?
That looks like a lot of fun...unless you are the one in the chair! I'd love to be able to make up and stuff like that!
no this is the casting process, they only have to cast his head once and then they can make the prostetics off of that mold
it's a good thing they only need to do theis once and for those who asked if the makeup is similar to the original -yup!!
He's such a trooper! I love him
I wonder how long this takes? woo he's a smurf haha. that stuff would probably make me break out like crazy.
This video stops at 5:33 for many people, and it's really ticking me off. Could you fix this, please?
Dude had to do this every day? Whoa! My respect for him just tripled!
I just wished that this came with sound. I love watching these videos and this is really an education peice for me. but i just wish the sound was all the way through the video. Thank you lot for posting these. Keep them coming and I hope you never close down. That the show continues on forever. Both Phantom of the Opera and Phantom: love never dies. God Bless.
If you think about it, he's probably used to it because they probably do the same thing for Phantom too.
read the description dude
No this is just the initial cast to make the prothstetic
How can he breathe!?!?!? I would die or something from lack of air....
I played the Phantom in high school and i used basically the same thing he is and it really sucks! only mine wasn't so complex
he is undergoing a lifecast I do them all the time it takes about 30-40 minutes and the guy doing it is expert Neil gorton and he is breathing through his nose and it's really relaxing and not scary they do this so they could have his lifecast so they could sculpt his phantom makeup
Just...Perfect...
ohh that looks soo fun!! (sarcasm)
i m getting goosebumps frm thking if that's down to me...argh....
n how on earth does ramin keeps looking hot in those....stuff.
too bad they actually hv to cover half of his face for the musical......
Phantom initiation.
What is that blue stuff?
bless him!! he looks a bit like a smurp with the blue stuff.. but oh my isn't he dishy mmm this is so clever! x
is there no sound?
Um I wont be letting this happen to me no time soon
oh my gosh.. how does he breathe?
There's no audio for me.
yup
hoo-ray for sound! at 6:40..!
LOVE LND!
What a dreadful procedure, I bet Raoul was secretly smiling and Christine crying. LOL
can he even hear what the guy is saying to him?
TP the phantom!!!!!!!
That is so crazy how they do that! I don't know if i could sit through that, but I guess if it's only a one time thing then you just go with it.
It's like making a death mask. o_o
@marissacapri11 You carefully work around the nostrils, leaving the airway clear. It is never a good idea to use straws as these can become dislodged or worse, knocked up into the nasal cavity by accident.
Clear nostrils and airways are the priority, and once the alginate has set (in about three minutes) and stops moving, the nostrils remain unaffected. besides, if a person was unable to breath (as when they have a cold or blocked nose) you can either breath through the mouth.

@MissMiffed through his nose....

is this just a LND thing or does every phantom in POTO have to go through this too?
is there supposed to be sound???
@AnimalLuva2010 That's exactly what I thought LOL! Ramin didn't flinch though!
He is undergoing a lifecast I do them all the time it only takes 30 to 40 minutes and he is breathing through his nose and the guy doing it is the expert Neil gorton so he's
If he couldn't breathe, he would die from lack of air...
They kept his nostrils open - making sure the whole time that they stayed open.
I feel sorry for him that he had to go through that; although that's not nearly as bad as some other actors do - they have to do their whole body...
Like perhaps Mystique in X-men series.
