Meet A Maker Halloween Edition Legendary Makeup Artist Steve LaPorte SD
The favorite materials used for these types of molds are “Repro” or “BJB’s, 1630” however reinforced Ultracal 30 is a lower cost alternative if properly sealed & released.
Looking forward to hear the stories sboy sll you lifecasts 😊
Very neat, rhank u 👏👏
What material are the plate molds made of? Thank u 💞
Thank u💞
Where did u get your silicone mats from?
Very similar to fibreglassing as you say, I used to love that process. (UK)
Fascinating sir, totally takes me way back to my college days. Thanks for sharing. (Uk)
Excellent tutorial, once again! This state-of-the-art process is voodoo magic to many, and you have de-mystified it perfectly.
Glad I could help!
Awesome as usual! Merry Christmas!
And a Happy New Tear to you Troy. Glad you liked the video.
Nice!
Thanks!
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it! Some really, really helpful stuff here! I´m at the bloody beginnings when it comes to mask making myself! I painted a LOT of masks already but never made one completely myself! Right now Im working on my own sculpt and I am kinda afraid of making a mold of it! 😄
Thanks for your support & if you hold off on making any molds, stand by. I'll be doing several videos on the whole process from sculpt to molding, casting , painting & hair work . Although I work with advanced materials & techniques, I cherish old school methods & will be introducing those for newbies.
Love it, Steve! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
BEAUTIFUL! Great Santa makeup. Love the style/ Particularly the expressive eyebrows.
Thanks, I had fun with this one!
Great video! Really informative and clear commentary of the entire process. Well done 😊
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Great stuff Steve, I love the level of detail in your demos...
That's really great information, thank you!
You're welcome, stay tuned for more.
Goddd
As always, very informative and ENTERTAINING! I LIKE circus clowns- especially Steve LaPorte!
Thanks Ed, I like to have fun with these! Working on a Circus story coming up.
love the mask ❤i am always a clown 😊
Happy Halloween Y'all!
Happy Halloween Steve!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
My pleasure!
Excellent work! I always though that the had a full face foam prosthetic, along with his nose bridge, but I guess that was just the pale face paint? I swear I have seen pictures of it too, but am I misremembering something?
I believe you're thinking of the way they do the Beetlejuice character at Universal Studios! They used a large prosthetic for the upper head and the nose bridge when they still did the stage show, and i believe they still use a more simplified version for meet and greets.
Thank you, for your work (and the stories) Great Stuff!
Thank you for your wonderful teaching skills. Your patience and humility lend themselves so well to what you’re teaching. Your attention to detail and your clear explanations make following your videos a real pleasure. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! It’s appreciated. 😊
Thank you for sharing with us brilliant work. I have been making prosthetics for about 14 years. It never gets boring. I love it when all the pieces are put onto the face and hands then character comes to life.
Waiting for my next check to order the last remaining materials to make some pancake molds. Thank you for an efficient and more affordable way to make molds 🤘
Thank you Steve for the positive and motivational videos 🙏
Thank you for all the tips and tricks! I wanted to ask, now that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming out, what story is behind the Beetlejuice head that you have at your shop and how as the wig made?
That story will be coming soon. glad you noticed him in the background.
@@make-upmcgyver2812 Thank you for the reply , will be waiting for that video!
Thanks for that input. 😊
Lowe’s also has that burlap. It’s in where the ground barrier. Usually outside.
Great tutorial...subbed
Thanks and welcome aboard.
What about oderless mineral spirits
Give it a try. For Monster Clay some folks use Terminoid w/ 99% alcohol. What you don't want is a sticky, mushy surface after use.
Great stuff Steve...
Awesome thanks Steve
Steve, great stuff... Young students can learn it all from you. No one does it better... 👍🏼
Hey Steve thanks for the video! Always great to see tips from the masters. I'm in my late 40's and just now getting back into sculpting which I have not done since my days as a wannabe effects artist in the late 80's/early 90s, so it's great to see content like this. Really enjoying your channel!
You can do it! I get to be even more creative without restrictions now that I’ve retired from the set. follow along & I’ll help you find that artist within. That for following.
Ooo gotta save this for later for when I get to texturing my sculpture
i love this story and thank you for the tutorial for this silicone mask! i love it!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. stay tuned for more.
Just discovered this channel! Subscribed :) I will just say that I am huge fan of your work! Especially your work with the TV series LOST. By the way, is it true that you used collodion on the character of John Locke to make up the scar? Did you first use colored collodion or a colored make-up underneath? How can you apply collodion to the same place many shooting days on a row? I think I read somewhere that you shouldn't apply collodion to the same spot on the skin several days in a row. I would LOVE a own episode where you maybe can talk about you work on LOST and the about the techniques, products you used and maybe some other stories and details or maybe even some demonstrations :)
Yes I did. I’ll cover that in a future video.
How much cabosil do you add?
Basically i use a small portion powder scoop & add 1 at a time, mixing in between till I get the consistency of pudding. If it has good "hang time" it's perfect. Be careful not to make it too thick or as it starts to set you won't be able to move it around .
Can you include the products you use in your description? If you want to link affiliate Amazon links, you can probably make some referral money.
In LA, Ca. there are several places to acquire materials. Plastil gel 25 is carried at Frends & Namies Beauty supply from their FX dept. & Motion Picture FX co. in Burbank is good too. Try to use a local place for clay , Plasters & Ultracal 30 as it is heavy to ship. The Platcil line can also be purchased through Polytek in New Jersey. Reynolds Advance materials has store around the country & a big line of excellent products as well. Find them on line.
The process is amazing. Thanks for posting this stuff
Glad you like it!
Awesome! You did a great job bringing Eddie to life. I hope someone will bring the entire Eddie from Stranger In A Strange Land to life one day. Head to to with the wide brim hat and trench coat. The camera red eye and the muscle mixed with aluminum skeleton.
That would be cool! I’ve got my eye on several Eddie personas for the future. costumes are the most challenging however. I won’t let you down.
All that stuff over his nose and in his mouth. Suh control
The last time I saw dental work like that was on John Ritter on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as Ted.
I remember that makeup. Cool effect.
Dude you fucking killed that piece! The dental work is exquisite I'm impressed with the entire facade you totally brought Eddie to life!
Thanks so much, I put a lot into my teeth work.. Glad you picked up on it.
Hey Steve! Saw you starting this but didn’t get to see the final product at Monsterpalooza so thanks for posting this. Such a killer makeup!!
