Out of Kit Effects

I was going through some old photos and beginning to put together an online Portfolio, and I came across a few images that I felt like posting.

These two were done using some Out Of Kit Techniques which I learned while spending a week at the Vancouver Film School. *Unfortunately, we did not receive a digital copy of the photos, only a Glossy Print out. So upon scanning the images, much of the detail was lost. Oh well.

This was created using Liquid Latex and Toilet Paper. I think it turned out pretty well.

Thanks for looking.

Splice Sculpt- Update

Here is a bit of an update:
I've been doing things really out of order and concentrating on building up one side of the sculpture at a time instead of having everything progress evenly. Oh well, live and learn. I'm still new at this.

The forms beginning to take shape

And after I added some fake eyes, and built supports for the feet


It's starting to look a little less like a naked turkey vulture!

I'm pretty happy with the way it is progressing, I just need to keep at it! I get distracted and have a tendency of moving onto new projects before I have finished what I started. It's taking a bit longer than it should, but I think I will be finished the bulk of the sculpture within the next week or so. Then it's time to move onto texture.

Splice Sculpt- Work in Progress

I still haven't actually seen the movie Splice, but not long ago I clipped a picture from a magazine at the Theater. I knew that I wanted to give sculpting a shot, and thought that the picture I had taken looked like an interesting challenge.

Let the experiment begin...

First off, this is the image I clipped from the magazine

This is the Armature that I threw together

and here the clay is beginning to be roughed into shape

Looks a bit like a rotisserie chicken at this point....

Hey There!

I'm pretty new to this whole Blogging thing but I'm Going to give it a shot!

I have always loved Movies. Specifically movies with amazing creatures and effects. Unfortunately I was born about 20 years to late, as it now seems the digital age is taking over. The time of Puppets and Rubber suits is quickly slipping away but I know it still exists out there and I'm going to be a part of it. I have decided to try documenting my progress as I work my way towards making a dream become a reality.

My goal for many years has been to attend the Vancouver Film School and take part in the Make-Up for Film and Television Program. That dream is still a couple of years and a few Dollars out of my reach. So in the meantime I plan to do what I can with what I've got.

If you feel like following along, then sit back and enjoi the ride.

Brandon.
