BECOMING A ZOMBIE - PUNKS NOT DEAD

1. To do zombie makeup you will need liquid latex, tissue, syrup, red food colour(fake blood), foundation, talcum powder, 2 bowls/cup, green purple yellow eye shadow.




2. Pour the liquid latex into a container by itself. Paint a small bit of the latex onto cheek/neck/wherever you want it. Take a square of the tissue and split it in half so it is really thin now. Carefully, stick the tissue onto the latex.




3. Tear off the unused bits of tissue.




4. Paint more latex onto the tissue.






5. Cover the latex with more tissue (like paper mache with latex instead of glue). Tear off the unused bits again.






6. Keep on painting, sticking and tearing until the tissue is of a good size.






7. Begin to pull parts of the layers of latex away to create holes.






8. Mix syrup with a tiny bit of red food colouring. Pour it on the wound.


9. Use green, purple and yellow eyeshadow to create bags around eyes! 

Random Side Projects :)


Zombie makeup on a SFX evening we did at the Kingswood school :)

Alice in Zombieland - Production :)

I used the media classrooms to do my makeup and to take the photos. I set up the green screen in the middle of the classroom.

The White Rabbit, I used liquid latex on Corals head and cheek. I also used purple, blue and black eye shadow. I wanted Coral to be as pale as possible to emphasise the colour of the blood and her sunken eyes. I used white snazaroo facepaint to make her look really pale. I wanted to create a really rough texture on her face to show her rotting away so I used a mixture of tissue and liquid latex to create a lumpy liquid. 


I also used snazaroo facepaint for Lorna's face but I focused more on her neck wound. I created her neck wound to look like a slit on her throat. I filled the wound up with syrup and red food colouring for blood.


I used liquid latex, white facepaint, food colouring and red food dye to create the zombie wounds.




The Red Queen, The White Rabbit, Myself, The Mad Hatter and Alice! 






These are my final projects :) I edited them both on Photoshop. I used the official Alice in Wonderland 2010 movie promotion packs for inspiration to my project. 



SET DESIGN

As I've been making my set, I have been taking photos everyday of the process.


I started making the Nightmare before Christmas hill using chicken wire and mod-rock. I made the texture of the hill also using mod-rock which I cut up into skinnier pieces.



I have been making the pillars for my gate out of blue foam. I used a band saw to create the overall shape of the pillars and a file to emphasise the boldness of the bricks.
