    I prefer this type of practical effect than recent CG stuff like de-aging or clone. Good content btw, it’d be nice if you can get people who make prosthetic stuff for Doug Jones

      Though the best use of CGI is in tandem with prothetics.

      So there is definitely a place for CGI in manipulating the look of the actors.

    Won’t be long before they just digitally apply the face of the person the actor is portraying using deep fake, or like they did the burns on Tony Stark in endgame, then all this skill and artistry will be lost like stop motion animation.. a real shame.

      Stop motion animation isn’t lost, look at Laika and aardman, the most recent wes Anderson film etc.

      Stop motion is doing pretty well recently actually

      They already are. And remember, by the time technology like this hits the public sector, it has already been used in ways and for things that would probably surprise us. I would put money on the fact that the type of technology you’re talking about has already been used politically in one form or another. This technology has frighteningly unethical possibilities.

      Stop motion isn’t lost, but it’s become the arty thing to do, whereas at one time it was the only way to bring anything non human to life. You won’t ever see another star wars film with go motion ATATs, or stop motion skeletons fighting a live action human.

    Wow…pure artistry! When I first saw Bombshell’s photos I was shocked by the resemblance????????????

    I didn’t even realize it was Charlize Theron when I was watching the movie, this dude nailed it!

    Japanese people are always highly respected for their craft. They are very artistic and culturally sophisticated…This guy is a master of his craft

      What a positive, but trope-ish stereotype.

    Silicone and Silicon are not the same thing.

    you have to adjust the skin tone of the prosthetic paint based on how much movement the actor will be doing- that’s an interesting point that I’ve never thought about before.
