So finally got around to finishing my food colouring and water skit. I’m not really trying to be arty, but I figured this would be a cool way of producing some interesting shots without spending much money! I also thought it’d be good to do something that doesn’t involve blood or monsters as most of my stuff tends to do……
And yes the title is a league of gentlemen ref ;0)
I’ve been designing deformed embryos, as you do. These are partly concept designs for that horror film, but I also plan to use them in an upcoming top secret project, wahahahahahahahaha.
These were done quite quickly. I sculpted one in super sculpey then made a press mold out of putty silicon and pushed sculpey into the mold for the second sculpture. I modified the sculpt slightly to add an open mouth – I kinda had to anyway as I’d accidentally squashed it’s nose getting it out of the mold.
I went abit nuts with the camera halfway through photographing these and got a bit experimental. I really like the kind of look you get from setting the shutter to stay open for longer than usual – you just kinda wave whatever it is you’re photographing about to make it all swirly.
So, continuing my usual practice of starting a new project before finishing the last, here’s some concept sculpts that I’ve been working on. These are for a horror film that I’ve been hired to produce the effects for. The film involves a ‘haunted’ mask, so these are exploring how that could look on film.
In other news I’m finishing off the last few bits of sound for A Tale from the Endless Stair and also a few pickup shots. I’ve also been having another go at the editing for this video which I started ages ago.
