Editing Stargate SG-1 (section)

=== Make-up and costumes ===
Most of the main ''SG-1'' characters are US [[airmen]] and wear authentic [[United States Air Force]] uniforms. During missions, the members of the SG-1 team normally wear olive green [[Battle Dress Uniform]]s.<ref>{{cite video|url=http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/sci-files/cinema/stargate/index.shtml |title=Science Fiction in the Cinema – Stargate |publisher=[[Discovery Channel]] |date=2006 |time=29&nbsp;min |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090418013915/https://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/sci-files/cinema/stargate/index.shtml |archive-date=April 18, 2009 }}</ref> Richard Dean Anderson and Don S.

His Egyptian look was reflective of the Goa'uld Ra from the feature film and was complemented with a forehead symbol and a gold skin tone, although his make-up process was simplified over the years.<ref name=tvzones46_62>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Jan Newman – Born With It – Make-up |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 46 |pages=62–65 |date=July 2002}}</ref> Judge shaved his head at home each day until the producers allowed him to let his hair grow in Season 8.<ref name=tvzones58_28/> As a trained nurse, key make-up artist Jan Newman could make burns, cuts, bruises and the SG-1 team's other wounds look authentic.<ref name=tvzones46_62/>

For the look of aliens, the make-up department collaborated with prosthetics companies from Vancouver and Los Angeles, including [[Steve Johnson (special effects artist)|Steve Johnson]]'s XFX (first three seasons only) & Todd Masters. While the human origins of many alien races and human civilizations were left recognizable, the recurring characters who were members of the [[Unas (Stargate)|Unas]] race required elaborate prosthetics and make-up work.<ref name=tvzones46_62/> To convey the cultural origins of the various fictional human civilizations living on different planets after their displacement from Earth, the costume designers combined elements of their respective Earth cultures with modern fabrics, elaborate trims and chains to produce a historically rooted yet otherworldly appearance.<ref name=dvdcostumedesign>{{cite video |people=McQuarrie, Christina |date=2001 |title=Stargate SG-1: Season 3 – Costume Design: Christina McQuarrie | medium = DVD |publisher=[[MGM Home Entertainment]]}}</ref> The look of the Goa'uld such as Apophis was initially based on the look of Ra in the feature film.<ref name=tvzones46_62/> For the design of the Ori and the Priors in Season 9, the art department looked at Japanese and samurai garments for costume design. Art director James Robbins found the face painting, scarification and burns of remote jungle tribes mystical and these served as inspiration for the face scarification of the Priors and the Doci. Early ideas to include finger extensions and scarification on these characters' hands were discarded as impracticable.<ref name=tvzones64_24>{{cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven |title=Stargate SG-1 Season 9 preview – Nine Lives |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 64 |pages=24–30; 44–48 56–60 |date=July 2005}}</ref>
