Any Special Effects Enthusiasts?

Post by milker »

Thought I would post up here a contest I am helping with in the Halloween Mask making community I roll with.

Thought maybe some of you may want to enter the contest and learn to make a latex mask for Halloween and such.

Check it out here:

http://www.thehma.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3269

You can buy the mask making kit from here:

www.maskmakerkit.com

Or if you read the forum you will see several other places available for purchasing the mask making kit.

I imagine some people here could submit some good stuff to the contest.

Bring it!

Any advice on forming latex molds of ones own face, then creating a mask around that?

I think the Milk uses a model's face in the current day, but you have done that in the past, haven't you, Milk?

I one day hope to be asked to go through that process. However, it is rather terrifying. You breathe through a tube while it goes on and have to really trust the person putting that slop on you. (I think. For all I know if the tube is blocked you can scrape that gunk out easily.)

I have done some of this in the past and it is a bunch of fun. In fact, I would like to do it again real soon.

Say Robb, any interest in being the man to get a mold done of your mug?

Here is a great tutorial online for doing a lifecast:

Here is a good place to buy a beginner kit:

Hope that helps.

We should buy 2 of these Robb and cast some boobs dude.

You like boobs?

I would ABSOLUTELY be up for getting a mask made of my face for one of your projects.

I get back on Monday and can be available as early as Tuesday. I'll bring the camera around and we can document the process. Seriously, I think it would be great content.

Friends of mine did some boobs. Those were cool.

Then they decided to do Keith's ass.

They did not shave his ass first.

He got stuck in the mold.

They had to cut him out by sawing away at the hair stretched between his ass and the mold with an X-acto for like an hour.

So be careful.
