I Shot my Friend: Prosthetic Makeup

Making and applying a PlatSil 10 moulded prosthetic 

I started by making a Shellac sculpt

I cast a mould for the prosthetic in PlatSil 10 

I cast the prosthetic in PlatSil 10 retarded with Smiths Deadener to make it soft and flexible like skin

I teamed up with another student to apply each others Prosthetics, so we would have the prosthetic we created on our own bodies

My application of a fellow students prosthetic blended into the skin

The key to authenticity is not to make the prosthetic too tall so it doesn't sit too proud on the skin

I added a small amount of fake blood and bruising to skin

My Friend (who I shot) is Stephanie Bolduc, fellow CATF Student, you can see some of her work here  http://stephaniemakesstuff.tumblr.com/
