Cinema day three

So i've been so busy lately, I haven't kept up with this at all.
So heres what I remember from Monday.

Didn't have the kit until after break, there was whole big thing with that as well, good thing i've calmed down or this would've been the angriest post.

We had to read a script, and recreate what we think the look would be.
Scene was from The Aviator. Very doe look, and red lips.
I was given really dark lips, opposed to the bright red she actually had in the movie,
Apprently I look good with dark lips, but I don't have the guts to actually do it in public.

I was actually very unsatisfied  with the kit. There is so much missing from it, and for the price I paid, I got ripped off. Plus it came with hardly any blood!
I have a huge list of products I need to get as soon as possible.  I had no clue what I wanted for my birthday, I now know what I need.

Cinema day II

Good news. Kits are in the building.
Bad news. We can't have them yet.

After having a meeting with my accountant, and my father to see how much of my money I have left after the fuckin recession (lost 1300$ btw on that) I was given what was left...which would take a few days to transfer into accounts. So I sold.

So all ready to go with my blank check from daddy. (car or pony?)
They don't have the kits ready. Inter-dec fucks us over again. BIG SURPRISE.

We ended up watching a special fx film.
I didn't take notes, so thats why i'm writing everything down now from memory.
We started by watching how scars are made. A bullet hole wound. Entry and exit.
The process the pros use takes about 36 hours. With 3 different clays, sculpting tools. a cement hardner to make the mold.
This is not how we are supposed to do it class, but useful none the less.
Only two guys in Montreal do it this way. I would like to take an apprenticeship with them to get a better understanding of the whole process.

I took sculpting in college, so I wouldn't have any trouble with it, however we can do the same effect with wax, in about 30-45 mins. We later watched the application which isn't hard as well, simple just little points to remember.

We didn't have much time, but I screamed lets watch the zombie effects!
Being class rep, I guess I get what i want so the teacher caved and I was ever satisfied.
By only using grease paints in light brown, dark brown, black and white.
No prosestics what so ever, it gave the most amazing effect. Lighting and shading is one of my strong points in painting, and the face is like a canvas to me.
I can't wait to try it, which could hopefully be next week, I just need a victim.

Intro to Cinema

First two weeks the class learned how to perfect TV makeup. Very simple, basic key points, nothing special.
Today we finally got to the good stuff.
Cinema.
We were put into groups of 5 (3 groups) and were told to come up with a movie or television plot.
After throwing around a couple of ideas. (Morgan mostly came up with everything)
We made a soap opera where she was my twin sister but we had no idea we were twins, and we're dating the same man.
Plot thickens 
Apparently he tries to kill me off, I'm left in a coma, and morgan finds out the truth.
It got confusing, and I had to video tape the whole speech. 
We had to come up a makeup idea for the key roles. I was bruised and battered, and she looked simple and decent.
So we are left with these images.



Just got out of my coma.

My teacher added blood. I look more like a Zombie who just turned. Fresh.
