#27 - Stu Musings

Seven hours is a big time difference to deal with when trying to synchronise a podcast with two people. To help with that, Todd and I figured adding some extra single features to help keep the show moving. ------------------------------------- At Pinewood studios, I was teaching a great class which had me thinking a lot about what we teach and why. I seized the moment to share my observations which briefly were: When and why to premake pieces way in advance versus fabricating something up directly onto the skin. The difference between knowing about something and mastering it. Keeping a record of your efforts when trying to solve a problem. It's hard to be subtle - heavy handed is way easier to do. The importance of mixing the correct base tone to your appliance material. Making v buying fake blood. ------------------------------------- Links you may find useful which were mentioned: Neill Gorton's Make-up FX 911 Rob Smith - Blood Podcast Part 1 Rob Smith - Blood Podcast Part 2 Maekup - David Stoneman's FX materials range Eyeblood (Kryolan) ------------------------------------- Questions or comments either on the blog, the facebook page or email us direct [email protected] Until next time, Stuart
