This course is designed to provide instruction in the lab and formulation techniques that are required to create contemporary film and television make-up effects. Students will learn prosthetic application, with a focus on the details of prosthetic appliance development. The course takes students through all the phases of project conceptualization and prosthetic application, including design, sculpture, molding, formulation of foam latex and gelatin, as well as seaming, painting, and applying prosthetic pieces. For class projects, students may create original prosthetics or may develop characters inspired by current film and television effects. As part of the course, students will be required to design and create a fully developed prosthetic character, which will be captured in a photo shoot.
