    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 :)

      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 .

      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.

    Hey Steve! I've been really enjoying all your videos- especially this one! I'd love to know how you've kept up your passion and stamina for this craft throughout your decades. I could really use your expert advice on how to manage stress, mental health and burn out during industry hardships.

    • @make-upmcgyver2812
      @make-upmcgyver2812 6 місяців тому

      Wow, that’s a thought provoking question. I think from the very beginning I saw myself as a student of my craft. Making every effort to constantly learn & better myself with every project that I worked on. I always kept a confident but humble attitude & that’s what fed my passion. I was very fortunate to be mentored & helped along the way by the likes of Tom Burman, Bob Schaffer, Harry Merrit, Harry Blake, John Chambers, Dick Smith, Ve Neill, Rick Baker, Charlie Scram, Stan Winston, Ken Chase , & William Tuttle earlier on in my career. Some of these artists mearly said something or gave a specific form of advice that inspired me to always challenge myself no matter what the situation . A select few were there for me in a big way that helped shaped my work ethic. As far as burnout, after several years of very creative and somewhat stressful shows I developed a breathing disorder that only showed up after I’d finished a project. Never in the “battle” only after. I found myself yawning a lot & I couldn’t seem to get a deep breath. I thought it was allergies or some kind of respiratory thing. After a talk with a Dr. he suggested it was a falllout reaction to stress. I thought about work all the time & the pressure of providing for family at the same time was taking its toll. One day on location in Miami I was walking on the beach & watched a Sports Kite competition where competitors were flying arial routines to music . I bought a two lined kite & within a month I was flying & listening to music on my earbuds every chance I could. I bought a book on kite design & directed my attention away from my makeup work & to the sky. I. Bought a video on tricks & ballet kite flying which became my off work passion. Over the next couple of years I eventually rose in the national ranks as a master competitor & champion of precision & ballet kite flying. I not only excelled in my makeup career but balanced my stress levels through my time competing across the country in weekend events while on location shooting films. I involved my family & started designing & building my own kite designs which gave me creative peace & allowed me a balance that I truly believe gave me a longer career. I could go on in much more detail but I believe having more than one passion & a separate group of friends outside the business was my salvation. After retirement I was planning to spend a lot of time flying & designing but with COVID & some family issues I’ve had a lot of delays. My appearance on social media platforms has jumpstarted my passion to share my lifetime of performing & creating for a new audience. I hope that gives you some insight to my complexities as an artist. I’m blessed with a positive attitude that keeps me looking for the next challenge ahead. We only go around once in life & I want to be full of memories, experiences & leave behind something for my friends, family & those who appreciate what I’ve done. That’s why I often quote a passage from Frank Herbert’s “Dune”. “Fear is the Mindkiller” & I add to that, “ Embrace the Challenge “.

    All of this is very valuable information! The one addition I would personally make is, professionally learn how to say "no!". There are a lot of jobs floating out there that can be, (and usually are), professionally, morally, and/or illegally objectionable. Although, some of them will pay extremely well, they are not worth it in the end. Some folks will look down on you for turning down such jobs. But, you will be better off for it long term. It can be a very tough decision, at times. But, it it far better to be seen as someone who has the strength to stand up for what they believe in, than be someone seen to be willing to do anything for a fast buck. Again, it WILL be very hard to avoid at times. But, long term, it will benefit your career to steer clear of such things.

      At one point when I had my first studio I had done a lot of slasher stuff for low budget ,exploitive films . I had an interview & meeting with a producer & director regarding a “Living Dead “ movie. it got pushed back a month & during that period I took a look at the type of work I wanted to be known for. I even sculpted some character maquettes for them on speculation & started interviewing artist for the project, anticipating doing the job. when they called back, ready to proceed I turned them down & told them why I didn’t want to be “ typecast” for that type of film. that was hard to do but it was the right choice for me. As a result someone else was given an opportunity & thus it started out their career. Win , win for both of us.
