This is correct. I think Matt Frewer said that the makeup took something like 2 hours to put on each day. The only thing that was done with a computer was the editing. I think Matt Frewer said they'd cut out about 1 out of every 5 frames or something like that, and added the stuttering effects, to make it seem like the "computer" couldn't keep up with the "software", the software being Max himself, of course. I always figured the idea was that Max's ego is so big, it causes the OS to hang up.
4 hours, at least. And the special contacts that he wore for the role were brutally harmful to his eyes. In fact, the contacts severely lacerated his corneas to the point where he needed to use painkillers just to make the hurting stop. That’s why you sometimes see Max Headroom wear sunglasses...he needed those sunglasses so that his eyes could heal.
There was even more Max Headroom stuff online about a year ago but VIACOM came through and wiped a lot of it out. It's been slowly appearing again. I like Max Headroom's CINEMAX stuff too.
Max Headroom himself was actually just a guy in a rubber mask with a fiberglass suit and plenty of video and audio editing. I personally don't so much mind the modern world
Actually they didnt use any 3d modeling. All they did to make max look computer animated was they put a rubber mask with make-up. Then they put a fiber glass jacket to make his clothes look computer animated. I know this for a fact.
they brought starsky and hutch back, the same for the dukes of hazard and the night rider, and did it got any better? No, so please never ever bring max back, because i'm sure that they would fuck that up too. What's next? a re-make of vegas, magnum, streets of san fransisco, kojak, jake and the fat man, rip tide, the green hornet, the saint??????????

How bout now?
That’s odd. The company that Viacom became (Paramount Global) doesn’t exactly own the rights to Max Headroom, does it?
they should bring Max back. seriously
Max Headroom reboot is being worked on. Hahaha! I'm coming back!!
Hes beautifull.And he sings beautifull.I fell in love.
No computers were used at all to generate Max Headroom. Even the bakground was done with standard cell animation.
i thought it was an amiga
Yes, it's him.

Max Max Max in the house!
Yeah bring back Max, not a CGI one though that would be rubbish - but definitely with the awesome Matt Frewer.
Please come back Max..
@r0bar00 Yes, Max Headroom was pretty much the beginning of Matt Frewer's career. At least it gave him one helluva kick start.
Coke still hadnt changed its formula when Max began,right?
has anyone got the song max headroom did "new york"? it was from the cinemax era
A commodore amiga was use to generate the background.
Oooh, good question. I'm not sure, but I think it is (Matt Frewer).
Max is confirmed to be returning in a TV reboot on AMC!
He does seem upset.
Great acting.

k.

the episode had jerry hall (mick jagger's) girl friend at the time
@StellaSabian Yeah that's him.
