100 Years of Aging

We had an amazing oppotunity to age a couple progressively from late 20's to 90's. Blaine Ludy of Cut was our Director and did an amazing job of Keeping this real for the couple. All the emotions and tears are real.

 Thanks to the Amazing Team I had Charles Wills Robin Fuqua and Eva Buinowski.

The Forge

We had an opportunity about a year ago to work with a group of amazing people. Silver Shamrock Lab was Approached by Eric Lim and Stephen Reedy and asked to Bring to life an amazing Creature design by Alex Pardee. This was a Different kind of short, it was to be a memorial/suicide prevention video for Eric's late sister. One year Later after countless hours by the post team the video is out. Please post and share it as we all want it to make a difference.

New Makeup Fx Tech Video

Foster the People Video

So we had a chance to do some SPFX air squib Blood effects on this Foster the People Video. Blue Blood but still fun to do. We had to do 18 Squib hits all at once..... thats a lot of air.

Zombies, Pancakes, and Booze

We recently had a blast doing the Zombie Fx at the Pancakes and Booze Art Show hosted by Tom Kirlin.

Since the Fashion show featured Bikini suites we had to get creative in the full body make-up application. we had 2 1/2  hours to complete 15-20 zombies.

The venue had low lighting conditions so we went for more of a high contrast theatrical look.

We had a great team of SPFX Artists Charles Wills, Leigh Schwatz, Amy Mills, Chris Mills, and Cig Neutron.

Our Newest Creature an the Lab

So I recently got a call for a rush job on a monster from Gears Of War

 Brandon Dishman and Charles Wills busted out the sculpt in a little over two days Then it was off to Mold land. We did a quick shim job with the help of lab resident Leigh Schwartz as well as our good friend James Conrad.

Ahh the joys of fiberglass. the mold sat out in the sun to help it cure quicker.

Charles Wills and I burning the midnight oil while fill the body with guts and stuff thanks to all of our interns from Make-up Designery we were able to do a butter batch and get Him closed up.

Our first pull out of the mold worked (not that we had a choice)  Rachael Kooyman and Mariana Olesijuk Seam the beast. the we attached the hands and proceed to paint the silicone.

 Final step build a box big enough for this dude! Well he was a success can't wait to do a display model for the shop.
