Ok so here's another timelapse, but this time it's from a silicone makeup demo I did in at the LA IMATS this past June! There was crowd issuses (ie: an insane amount of people!!) and the camera got hit multiple times during the recodring, at one point we just turned it off and continued with the makeup till the crowd got under control. So due to this you will notice a huge gap in the paint process. Still very cool to watch! Enjoy

LA IMATS DEMO!!
So here is the finished silicone makeup I did as a demo down in LA this past June at IMATS. It was a 4 piece makeup that included: partial forehead, cheek, nose/upper lip and chin/lower lip.
The silicone was softened to 150%, and was glued down with Telesis. Once it was applied I colored it with JOMO and Skin Illustrator air brush colors. There was some touches done by hand, mianly the scaring and nostril area. Once paint work was finished I hand laid the eyebrow and the right temple hairline.
Took around 4 hours with some heavy crowd disruption (was insanely busy at one point!!) plus a break or 2!
Though most of my sculpt texture was lost in the prosthetic casting phase due to mold problems, and the lack of a contact which I wanted to use to complete the makeup, I'm pretty damn appy with it!
Note: The eye in the first pic was photoshopped to give you some idea what the contact would have done to complete the makeup! Enjoy!

IMATS VANCOUVER 2010 DEMO!!
So here is the final silicone aging makeup demo I did at IMATS Vancouver this past weekend.
The makeup demo went over really well I felt. It took me and Crissy around the same amount of time to complete it (6 hours). The glue down went quite a bit faster, how ever I spent more time with the paint work.
I fell the paint this time around added at least another 5 years if not more to the age! Just goes to show you what a little color can do. I had a few edges problems here and there but I feel the over all makeup is better.
I had a great time applying it and just enjoying the weekend in general!
Anyways I wont go on forever, so please enjoy!!

Almost 2 years in the making!!! Here is it!!!!! Massive update!!!
Ok soooo, this project has been going on for quite a while now. I originally took my model's life cast back in June 2008, yes almost 2 years ago now!! If you browse the blog you can see my posts on the life cast and first sculpt and second sculpt and so on. It has been quite the journey, but I'm glad to say I have finally reached the end!
The project didn't literally take me 2 years to do though, this was just something I was gonna do in my off time. How ever I was fortunate enough to be busy with real paid work and often at that, so I was only able to work on it here and there. I had originally planned to do the makeup in the summer of 08' but just as I got the project off the ground work started and more or less didn't stop. I began the original sculpt and eventually more or less finished it in January of 09'. After finishing though I realized I didn't like it, or enough of it and felt I had lost the "Jamie" in the sculpt. Basically I didn't feel it looked like an older version of my model. So after a bit of time I restarted it from scratch.
The second sculpt felt more like Jamie to me, how ever now I had lost the degree of age I was shooting for (80-90), but I was happy with the more subtle (60-65) and much more Jamie like sculpt. I finished it this past fall 09' and began breaking down the sculpt into the multiple pieces it would need to be. I ended up with 9 pieces: forehead, back of head, ears, cheeks, nose/upper lip, chin/lower lip, and a full one piece neck.
One of the main reasons in doing this project was to learn how to go about the break down and application of a multi piece appliance makeup. I literally knew how to do it, I had done a gelatin burn scar makeup using the same basic techniques, yet had not actually done a makeup to this scale myself. There were many things I was curious about and added as much as I could to the experience. I even threw in some fancier techniques like a collapsible core neck mold (not really that fancy lol). The only thing I didn't do that I had thought about was a one piece silicone negative for my ear molds. Instead I opted for a 2 piece negative. Next time I'm definitely trying out the silicone negative for sure!!
After I more or less got to the end of the project I realized it took far longer than I had thought it would. In the shop you usually have multiple people working on one project, but to do every step by myself added so much more time!
In the end my knowledge has grown just that much more. I can tell you I know exactly how I will and will not be going about certain methods in future projects. All in all it was a fantastic learning experience.
In regards to the application all the pieces ended up being baldies encapsulated 160% deadened Platsil Gel 10. Seemed to work out well at this softness, but will play more with that in the future. I applied the makeup with the help of my friend, coworker and fellow artist Crissy Renaud. It took us about 6 hours to apply, which is not too bad considering there were many firsts for both of us when applying this makeup.
We glued it down with Telesis and it was paint by airbrush with alcohol based colors. I did a bit of detailing with a regular brush as well. I also did a stipple on the upper eye lids. This was a test makeup for a demo I will be doing at the up coming Vancouver IMATS so some things were unfinished, like the seaming of the ears. Also there is some painting details I will take further for the demo ie: age spots, more freckling, capillaries etc.
Before I finish I definitely have to give credit to Shelagh McIvor for hand punching the brows for me! She did a fantastic job!
Alright here it is, enjoy!
