Once again you have saved the day! Every time I'm stuck in regards to prosthetics you come along with another excellent video! You truly have saved my bacon! Shame I missed you at IMATs though, would have been an honor to have met you. All the best!
it was a great seminar with some brilliant resource pictures i left fully inspired and with ideas. then it was even better that i got to speak to you and watch up close on the sunday sclupt gel infection demo.
Yet another amazing video. As good as some of the Stan Winston videos are, they could learn a lot from you in terms of simple, effective, clear presentation. Impressed as always, Stuart.
Great video with some great ideas as always. I once tried to take a cast of the texture of a foam exercise mat, but it didn't come out well. Just a quick question though, what is that "Cat Plastic" you mentioned to encapsulate the silicone appliance? and do you know where we can get it? Google search is only returning plastic cat images.
This is just a mould silicone, a tin cure 20 Shore A from Mouldlife I think. Any moulding or lifecasting silicone would work I am sure...even alginate actually, although it may split more readily when bending like I did for the bitten apple.
This video is wonderful! But I was thinking about the "apple bite" effect: It gives an awesome texture, but isn't the mold (fungus) on the fruit harmful? How do you get rid of it, so your silicone mold doesn't get infected?
The silicone mould can be scrubbed/boiled/bleached or whatever you need to clean it. Then you get a plastiline out of this silicone mould, resculpt the edges and clean up the texture, then make a mould of that. THEN you get an appliance out of this mould....the processes between the apple and skin are numerous. The piece is then applied to skin, not eaten...It's not a problem.
Do you mean if it is possible to get latex out of the silicone moulds? It is possible, but latex works best from plaster moulds as the water can be absorbed by the plaster. Also, the sulphur in latex will mean you can't easily get silicone appliances out of the moulds in the future as it will have contaminated it. You could make an alginate mould of the silicone mould and make a plaster version to allow you to then get latex copies out without then ruining the original silicone mould.
This is, to use your vernacular, BLOODY BRILLIANT! Thanks Stuart :)
This was very helpful and informative!! Thank you so much sharing your skills with us!❤❤❤

This video was fantastic. So many wonderful ideas that give a lot of creative power and freedom. Please make more like this!
Awesome Steuart, the wonderful world of imagination.Thanks
Brilliant, thanks so much for your generosity Stuart!!
this is so interesting and helpful thankyou!!
Ciao Stuart! Saw this demo at IMATS ... but seeing the video again was great,
Wow awesome vid man, I really liked this. Makes me want to experiment with trying to create textures out of things. Thank You for this.
Fantastic - that's the idea. Sow a seed and then someone else takes it from there and makes it better!
Amazing as always. Great tips!

Cap plastic. For making bald caps!

Got it! Thanks!
@@stuartbray This is awesome 🤩 Thank you so much 😊
Hey, Stuart!!! I love this, could you please tell me what paint colors/ratios you used to get the effect at 19:02?
It was skin illustrators used over a pale silicone appliance. I don't think in terms of ratios....have no idea or records of that.
Amazing!
would any of the molds for those silicone prosthetics work as latex prossthetics
?

What kind of silicone do you use? Can you use any kind?
damned keyboard ... getting ready to do a zombie ... lots of good ideas here for textures, sores, etc. You da man, mate!
I love your videos..
But maybe edit down your talking or maybe talk slower..
