Lifecasting: Face Molds With Genesis V Alginate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Here are some face molds taken from my lovely daughters who were kind enough to lend their faces for this cause. Genesis V and Accucast 590 are both great materials for face casts. Both have ~5 min. working time which is ideal for faces and hands. Go to the lifecasting page on our webstore for more product information:

They are so cute! Your girls are adorable! Interesting video. Thanks for posting.
Check our webstore for current pricing. It varies depending on the quantity you purchase.
That is our Alginate Release. It is water based so it's easy to wash out of hair. For faces like this I don't mess with a skull cap.
Thank you! I have tried my best to raise them on Simpsons episodes and Mad magazines.
Yes indeed! This is the 1st year they have been interested in wearing something other than princess regalia.
Your girls are adorable! What a cool dad!
An alginate negative mold is good for 1 casting. Sometimes you can get 2 or 3 but only if you have a very simple cast. Alginate is a jumping off point for several other processes. If you want a lifecast mold that may be used for multiple castings, use Gel-10. We also have a video detailing a Gel-10 face cast on youtube.
Yes, you can use an alginate mold to cast a Gel-10 silicone face but it is tricky!
Go to 14:13. I think those folks have the stuff you are looking for. :) Most hobby stores carry a very substandard alginate.
Your older daughter has a humor lol they are adorable
Thanks you. That's about half my genetic code so I take that as a compliment. :)
we didn't break any child labor laws. these children were paid with cupcakes! XD
the look on her face was adorable
I did a 'life cast' of my 7 year old just recently. (video responce) I picked plaster bandage because it would only take 10-15 minutes and it would be relatively light. These girls are brave. It's not everybody's cup if tea to feel like underwater on dry land. But I bet he's game to try this.
By the way: It was on *his* request after seeing your video's. I kid you not.
LOL. That mixing tip comes straight out of a cook book. Escoffiers if I'm not mistaken. It is the way to 'lump free sauces'.
P.S. I love the fact that the shells have that "eerie" 3D look, where if you move around, it looks like it's following you. They do this in Disneyland's Haunted mansion attraction. :)
Some pharmacies have these but you MUST make sure you get the super fast setting type or your subject will be waiting a while.
Your Class was awesome, Thank you for the knowledge.. and the Zed Head.
Beautiful ...can't believe your youngest sat for you
Yes, that was a tasteless reference to the practice of calming children by way of chemistry.
Genesis V and X are slightly stiffer than the rest of the accucast formulas. Some FX folks prefer a stiffer alginate when making had casts or large body casts.
The average face cast takes 15-20 minutes. That said, I would not recommend doing a lifecast on yourself. Find a friend or two to help and you will have much better results. A lifecast is tricky enough with your eyes open.
Your Girls where AMAZING!! My Kids would have freaked.
Yes. Candy cigarettes are also a good kid currency.
Yes, but only use a small amount. Too much Vaseline will cause the alginate to slide right off the subjects face!
Not a good idea. When a person is on lying on their back it changes the shape of their face and increases the chance of alginate going up their nose.
What well behaved children! I remember just going to wardrobe fittings at there age and not staying still for more than a second, let alone having my face immobilised :P
These face molds took just under .5 lb of Genesis V alginate.
Thank you. :)
Thank you!
This is so cute to watch. I would love to do this for my great-nieces. Not sure if it'll ever happen though. But anyways, so cool you've got a life cast of your daughters. That'll be a treasure.
OH! Just had a thought. Perhaps you can have a full family set, with your face cast, so that you have a point of reference (age), and have your kids do the life cast of you. Then you can film it, show us the smiles, and say, "So easy, even kids can do it." :D
Anyhow, their smiles were cast perfect.
R.i.p t-shirt xD
I know that regular plaster comes out pretty painless from clothes in the washing machine or even by hand but how's that alginate fairing?
Comes out in the washing machine or scissors only? :)
Fair enough.
Can you use Vaseline as an Alternative to Alginate release?
Love all of your videos! I had a question, what's the difference between this alginate and the one they use to create a hand mold? Is it the same type? I noticed its thinner than this one. Is it just how much water you use? Keep it up!
You can learn alot from our channel.
If you are claustrophobic, sculpting your face may be the best way to go.
I think my compliment was a reference to her bubbly personality, despite the genetic influence. ;)
loved this tutorial, you are very very funny
in order to prevent the alginate from falling off would it be easier to let the person lie down?
Good job.
That will be the subject of a future video. :)
Waaaaay Awesome! I love it... ;-)
How long does the wholes process take from application to removal off face? I wanted to try this myself, but not sure I can lay the gauze myself. Alginate you would probably start with mouth and nose and finish eyes last, if doing it yourself.
Awesome!
Nice ❤
i am someone who is terrified to have this done to me. is there an alternative way to get a face cast of yourself? i can do the plaster bandages then i have that of my face, then what would i need to do to get get a full plastered face of me so i would be able to put clay on it to make my own personal masks?
It would probably take ~3 lbs of alginate and 8 4" rolls of plaster bandages.
Excelente trabajo
Where can I find where you sculpt a face with clay? before you make a mold. Not sure where to look. thank you
is the plaster bandage the same thing sells in pharmacy?
Sí, es gracioso. ¿Qué quieres decir con espuma?
I think she's talking about the polyester fluff = espuma de almohada, commonly used to fill pillows.
Great job you do!! I would love to learn more and work with you, are you hiring?
What is the difference between this alginate and the 880 alginate?
how much did you used for one face?
I coudn't believe it either!
These were "mold-making" clothes.
where can you buy the alginate? can you buy all this at a Michael's?
How much does alginate cost?
Are you going to use this to make them mask for Halloween?
Jajaja que graciosas las niñas con la cara de espuma de amohada
That fluff looks rather unwieldy. What I've used in the past to stabilize alginate is just ordinary gauze.
-jcr
coulda given them an apron, you dripped alginate all over them lol
Smocks. C'mon.
This video is an excuse to pick on your kids right? ;)
this is too long ugh and its to weird
Thank you :)
