    Frank walks us through the painting of this great latex zombie mask made by his friend Tim Shea. There are many different ways to paint it, and Frank shows us how to use rubber cement paint to bring out the sculpture's details and layer on a fun color scheme.

    "Art's never finished, It's abandoned", that's both beautiful and sad.

    I absolutely love this format! Brilliant. To have the casual as-it-happening conversation with a constant timelapse, so there's never a lull, really refreshing.
    I also loved the moment at the end where we hang on Franks quote and the piano flourishes to an end, just a lovely moment, gratz to the editor :)

      I concur, the production on these videos keeps getting better. Pretty soon Tested will have to move to Vimeo!

    • @OohzyJohnDow
      @OohzyJohnDow Před 8 lety

      I fully agree with what you said. I actually found myself complaining a couple of times on tested videos and giving critisism. So.. :) I dont feel above it to then take a moment and report that this video was really pleasant to watch. Love the format as you expressed already.

    • @86_Bullnose
      @86_Bullnose Před 8 lety +2

      +OohzyJohnDow I agree a little bit. I just want a little better editing on videos like the ones where they make models.

      It was actually Norm playing that piano romantically while Frank was painting this mask.

    I am currently enrolled in a SFX school and they teach us that to paint a foam latex mask to paint with acrylics and prosaid, 50/50 ratio. Then to finish with a translucent setting powder. It's interesting to see what others in the profession use. Loved it anyway!

      Well, Foam Latex and MASK Latex are completely different.

    Top quality vid. The mask looks great and the commentary style works perfectly for these timelapse bits.

  • @Crixe
    @Crixe Před 8 lety

    I love the quote at the end, 'Art is never finished only abandoned.' - Da Vinci. I live by those words as an artist there comes a point in a piece when you just have to say it's good. More so with weathering, people can get really out of hand and true layer after layer really brings together the details and makes things pop and look great on camera you have to find a limit where you put the brush down and stop.
    Zombie looks great love the washes and details.

  • @TheAyaReina
    @TheAyaReina Před 8 lety +1

    As someone who's spent five years in art school with tutors who were very picky about the paints we used, I've learned that the difference between cheap and expensive paints is the amount of solvent used to dilute the paint, and the size of the pigment particles. Expensive paint will have finer pigments, and sometimes more pigment too, which means fewer coats to get coverage. Great video though! 😊

    Hey Frank, I am an aspiring maker and in this videoI noticed you mention "crappy chemicals." Could you and Norm do a shop video where you can talk about chemical safety, when you need a respirator and when not when working with the various toxic things we like to play with?

    Great video... I've just bought a michael myers elrod mask to convert and I've finished it using black acrylic and water for the weathering and then just a few bits of dry brushing the jowl lines and lips etc... I did this straight onto the mask how it came as the paint job was ok... Now its dry parts of the heavy weathering can be rubbed off in a pealing fashion if i apply lots of pressure and rub with my finger... Should i have sealed it once I'd finished? It would obviously need to be flexible as its latex and I'd want it matt and not shiny... Any help will do as i only seem one step away from having a great looking mask for myself.... Thank you 👍🏼😁🎃

      Took me 20 years of painting to get to the skill level. I know like myself, Frank is capable of so much more. This was just a speed paint job to show off for tested. Keep practicing, never be afraid to jump right in. You'll get there.

    Could you use talcum powder instead of v-matte to eliminate the tackiness of the rubber cement? Or would it just turn into a sort of paste and rub off?

    Im going to give this paint a try sometime soon, I've been using latex mask paints from monster makers and I'm honestly very sick of it and the trouble its been giving me! Its chunky, hard to work with, impossible to brush on, and has ruined hundreds and hundreds of dollars in airbrush guns!

    • @alexdemers6365
      @alexdemers6365 Před 5 lety

      same problem with me. Switched to rubber cement, works really good with brushes, but still working on airbrush ratio. Tends to clog it quite a bit.

  • @neonistic
    @neonistic Před 8 lety

    The difference between the different grades of paint is the ratio of pigment. The better grades have much more pigment than the lower ones.
