Aging Makeup

I have an actor with a latex allergy.  And ideas for substitutions?  I've heard diluted glue, what do you think?

creepy

Where can i find the page that shows you how to make home-made stipple latex? but this BFX was good

were can i get some crack

mary had a little lamb. so i ate her. LOL!

Id like to see it redone with someone who can act like a old person instead of the stereotypical old person.

i know this is a random question,but where do you get nose putty

Hello,what,hello,Harry Potter and a pop...........a soda pop!

chuck norris would win

wow i loved it xxx

Chuck Norris always wins. Everybody knows that.

that was cool, i like the make up, im makin a ninja movie and was wondering if you could do a best short films in the world kind off fighting fast paced action one it would be sooooo cool, u guys r g8

my new film is coming out soon!!! trailer is soon too...its called one shot lucky, ints an anction film : )

That is pretty awsome, i am in a schooL play acting as an old man, im going to show up like that^_^

realistic

I think that you needed to make him act older and weaker, and like sunny said add the cane. ... perhaps you needed to make his hands look younger too. young hands are a dead giveaway when your dude is old.

don''t worry
your clotes are just cool

You know It just dawned on me after rewatching this , you should do basic face change make up, just how to make a bigger nose, ears, brow not for a creature but more for like what they did with marv in Sin City, pronounce fetures better,

what were you going to do if you got the tickets

yea where can i get some stuff like crepe hair or spirit gum

that would work in other states but your show is hilorious hello

Have great scripts and a little bit of a budget. your great tutorials. Now all that is needed is some free time

i really have trouble doing the aging :( well mostly its my blending into the skin and applying eveny...and this is for my exam and the model is not allowed to kelp in any way...so i have to hold the skin and latex it and dry it and powder it...i need like 3 more arms!

did u ever get the ticket?

Two reasons it didn't work.

#1. The beard isn't believable, you would have been better off just dieing his hair gray.
#2. The old man voice and behavior was too over the top and fake.

hey could you guys make one on how to make a harness

I HAVE AN IDEA, like omg, my brainreally worked
I have not watched ALL your videos ...BUT.... have you done be an drunk gangster, or NERDY NERD?(( a.k.a nerd))
Sincerly,
T.B.W.L.A.K.A.H.P.F.F.L.T.I.A.G
(( if you can figure out what that stands for, I will be AMAZED!))

i love this web and its helped me 

can you have a show about how to make a halo chief commander helmet for under 60$?.....please!

:D nice work but next time  try to do something about the nose...i am suggesting u apply a thin coat of latex you prepared and with a needle...poke some tiny holes in it and also make some ridges around the the nostrels and the nose tip :D 

[eg. vaseline for a sweaty look]

Glycerin mixed with water in a squirt bottle that can spray a fine mist will give a sweaty look that'll last a few takes.

Os there any way you can make animal costumes like apes or dogs?
Or even make a fake gutair and drum set please?
thanks
^_^

I'm wondering if you guys could make a full version of the little theme song at the begining of most episodes

GREAT!!! that alot of help. thanks indy mogul. but what if i want to turn my friend (who is a guy) into a granny?

i dont have anything SPECIFIC i really need to ask.. but just can you list any things that are easy to get ahold of..[household items, stuff you can buy anywhere] i can use to help improve my films? [eg. vaseline for a sweaty look]

Had a lot of fun watching this, very creative production and entertaining theme. Good show. 

For werewolf fx, you can also do a 'stages' process and use morphing (remember when morphing was the new cool thing?) to make it work. It's easiest to do when your actor is fairly still. If he jumps around a lot in agony as he transforms it's going to be a bit more difficult.

To do it, you need to prepare three or four stages of werewolfery. Greenscreen is a definite asset for this sort of effect but locking down the camera works too.

Shoot each stage of the makeup for the whole transformation scene. Then pick and choose crossfade points that match as closely as possible and blend. This is pretty much what the old school werewolf movies did.

Using a morphing program or plugin (I know After Effects has it) you can set up the morphs to bring an added bit of realism to it, moving ears, eyes, etc to match the next stage of the makeup. Add the morphing to the crossfades and you will get something that looks pretty sweet.

For the werewolf make-up, lookie here http://www.halloweendirect.com/stagemakeuptips/werewolfmakeup.htm

(Idea I pulled out of my ass in 5 minutes) > You may want to try some liquid latex, flesh toned then get an old, cheap wig or a doll from goodwill where you can cut the hair off the thing. Add that layer by layer for the facial hair look. You can also use Spirit Gum and Crepe Hair like Erik did for the old effect. I suggested the plastic wig hair because it'll be rougher-looking. Do the same to the lower arms (make sure you shave the area first before applying the latex because it will yank out the hair on your arms when you're cleaning it up. Also, you can use some make-up puddy for the abnormal bone-structure effect to the face, and if you wanted any cuts or slashes across the face, you can use the latex+toilet paper idea from the zombie diy vid.

 Aaaaaaaaand. Yuh

dear erik ive been thinking about making a vampire wherewolf movie! and wanted to know how to turn someone into a wherewolf! on a low budget 

please and thankyou
-toast-

thx justin 

the armor episode is going to be awesome!

IMO Erik should do an episode entirely about acoustics. Like what the different kind of mics are and the best way to use them, what mics are best according to their cost-effectiveness etc. Because I think alot of people, including me, have no idea what theyre doing in this area

(DEVON) Check eBay - just search for 'boom mic' or 'shotgun mic'

A home made para-shoot sounds dangerous.... and lawsuity...

well ive looked everywhere for a boom mic and i cant find one anywhere. where is the best place, or any place, to get one? thx

I think a cane was in order, also sudden outbursts of "You young whippersnappers!!!"

 I can't wait to be an old vamp with my forehead streched back to my ass, I'll have so much botox pumped in my face that I'll have a permanent smile!

You Should Do A Sow On How To Make A Home Made Parashoot!

Spirit is closed this time of year, I'm too young to use a credit card on the internet, so I was wondering where i can get that latex stuff, locally. I live in the bay area

Thank you for featuring my film you guys are AWESOME! Plus this is a great ep too!

hey, erik after the samurai armor, do you think about doing  how to make fake eyeballs

I thought the zombie and cyborg episodes were great.  I'm currently making a superhero film, and I need a very cheap way to create over the top costumes.  What can you recomend.  The show is great, keep up the good work!

Okay.  I've got a dead prostitute belly-up on a hardwood floor and I need to dismember her.  I need to cut off her feet and hands with a hacksaw.  I can do it at the kneecaps and elbows if I must (by simply tucking her ankles and wrists below the floorboards and using fake extremities in place of her real limbs) but I would love to find a way around this, if possible, and use her God-given arms and legs.  Is this possible?  Does anybody have any suggestions?  I would love some CLOSE SHOTS of a rusty hacksaw tearing into her flesh.  This may be Gore FX 101, but I simply can't figure it out.  Any help? 

And also, how do I rip out somebody's front teeth with pliers?  Is that even possible on a 0 - 00 budget?  Any help would be appreciated.   

I would like to know how to make a laser type of gun

R those YUR real sideburns?? Anyway, Great effect i can use! Thans Again!

Hello? Hello? What? Hello?
Hilarious!

Definately, definately... CHUCK NORRIS wins...

Yeah, what happened to Denny's?  That would have been great.  Although the girl at the ticket booth wasn't "amused," I must say that I was.

You failed because you didn't actually try to buy movie tickets. I thought you were going to denny's anyway. 

Haha that was great. Hello? Hello? One soda pop. Haha!

Grampa!?

Oh wait! Its just some guy in make up. Hahaha. You guys sure got me!

Great episode

My favorite wrinkles are wrinkly wrinkles

One of the best yet! Absolutely great!

this is all cool but i live in england so my costume shops dont sell stuff like this! where can i get it instead?

I dare you to make some ghosts and ethereal beings, that don't look overly cheesy.  That'd be sweet. 

Also, please dance.

kan you have a show abowt fake heads
