In the article on NoFilmSchool.com, Rick Baker - a professional make up artist who worked on incredible films such as 'Maleficent', 'Hellboy' and 'An American Werewolf in London'- shows and describes the making of a realistic and gory rubber prosthetic. In the video provided, Baker teaches the ability to layer modeling clay, latex, and poly foam to create dimension in special effects makeup, using string to create realistic veins and using different waxes to give a raw feeling to any open wound.
In a video following this, Baker creates a monster with a different feel to it - more retro and goofy than gory and gruesome. In this video, Baker simply uses silk, cotton, poly foam, pros-aide II, goofy teeth and ping pong ball eyes to create his monstrosity. Using the same form of layering, Baker simply adds more exaggeration of the colours and brow line, as to create the retro 50's feel.
I really thought you chose an interesting topic, and I especially liked that you included two videos for references. I just think you could have added a little more writing to your post. Instead of just describing what he does you could write about your opinions of his technique, or how you could imitate a similar look.
I agree also that you had a great idea but you need more of your own opinion. I like how you described the idea of what materials were used to make the masks.
I think you did a very nice job justifying your opinion. I can tell that you are very interested in makeup and special effects which are both very important aspects of film.

ReplyDeleteI think you learned a lot from the videos, but I think you should add your understanding and what you learned about them.
