Thanks for the great words, guys! Glad to see that you joined the site, Dad! I noticed that the pictures are messed up now, my laptop (the one I used to upload these pictures) was damaged on the screen (not the screen protection but the actual screen itself) which caused the screen to look like how these pictures look now so it must have affected the pictures somehow. I just got a new laptop. I talked with Tommy today via email. Also, Psycho of lamoreaux, it was a modified Classic Kirk.
To answer Scott (QUIET ON THE SET) and Kaizu’s questions;
Hey Colby,
I used Appliance White, as close as I could get to the same stuff I used back on “Halloween.” Couldn’t get Krylon, so I went with Ace Hardware’s house brand, which, apparently, is actually manufactured by Krylon.
I used just the faintest hint of shading on an otherwise shadeless mask, simply for character and depth. You are correct that the picture masks had no such shading on them, other than daily wear, and all the shading in the movie was achieved with Dean Cundey lighting.
The subtle effect you see on your mask was achieved by VERY lightly rubbing a wadded-up newspaper on the surface. The ink from the newsprint provides the coloration.
Good to hear from you,
Tommy
I really appreciate the kind words! I’m working on getting it a glass case, I’m looking for a head with torso to put the mask & a coverall with black shirt underneath on it.
