Face Off (2011) s01e04 Episode Script

McKenzie: Previously on "Face Off" came to Los Angeles to compete to join the world's elite.
I wanted to get you an ice cream cake or something.
I think she's just trying to win him over with her "charm.
" You will work in teams of two and create an alien species.
Holy crap, we're gonna do aliens.
This is a perfect example of piss-poor collaboration.
You did a beautiful job.
Congratulations.
And the winner is Conor.
The person going home tonight is - Frank.
- I'm out, bitches, I'm out! Now, only nine remain.
And tonight on "Face Off" I see the psycho house up on the hill, mother bates up in the window.
Your challenge this week is to create your very own movie villain.
It's a great overall design.
Well done.
It's genius.
This design is a vessel of your ineptitude.
To make it to the top, they'll have to impress our award-winning panel of judges Ve Neill, legendary makeup artist who's work includes "Edward Scissorhands", "Beetlejuice", and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films; Glenn Hetrick, cutting-edge makeup effects artist on "Heroes", "Legion", and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"; and Patrick Tatopoulos, visionary creature designer for "Independence Day", "Godzilla", and director of "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans".
Who will be the next great name in movie magic and earn $100,000 and a year's worth of makeup from Alcone? Get ready for "Face Off".
Kinda un-fun right now.
It's not very fun at all.
It sucks.
Frank's elimination, in one fell swoop, divided the whole group, like, straight down the middle.
Either you're with Tommy and Jo, or you're with Conor and Megan, and it's either-or, you know? And it's hard because Marcel, myself and Sam are, like, "Guys, are you for real? How old are you?" Frank went home and not Megan? It's just insane that she's still here.
Yeah.
It's about to get really nasty.
With Conor and Megan, the way that that's working out, lot of people are starting to get upset and really seeing it for what it is.
We saw with the body painting, Conor does have weaknesses.
When he's out of his element, what happens? He dropped all the way to the All the way to the bottom and then freaked out.
He was a nervous wreck that entire time.
I just hope Megan becomes Conor's weakness.
We'll see how it plays out.
Could Megan be used as a tool against Conor? Quite possibly, because I think he's gonna get sucked into the drama and forget about the art.
We find out that we're going to universal studios on the back lot.
And it's pretty strange because we don't know what's cooked up, and then we see the Bate's motel sign.
We're all, like, pretty excited because it's only one of the most iconic film images ever.
As we walked around the corner, I see the psycho house up on the hill, mother bates up in the window, rocking back and forth.
This is definitely my element.
Welcome to the famous bates motel and house from the Alfred Hitchcock classic, "Psycho.
" The reason we're here is because your spotlight challenge this week is for each of you to create your very own movie villain.
And Norman bates, as we all know, is one of the original movie villains.
And since then, we've seen the likes of Freddy Kruger, pinhead, Jason Voorhees, and many others.
With me today is our guest judge who, over the past 30 years, has produced more than 25 films, including "Friday the "Freddy vs.
Jason", "The New Kids", and "The Last House on the Left".
He's the man who brought Jason to life on the big screen.
Producer and director, Sean Cunningham.
Oh, my God.
It's Sean Cunningham, who did all these awesome movies I grew up with.
So, Sean, why do you think Jason resonated so much with audiences? Jason is, I think, the quintessential boogieman.
There's something profoundly scary about a death threat that can't be negotiated with.
Also, I think, the hockey mask doesn't hurt at all.
So, then, in your opinion, what does it take to make a great movie villain? I think a great movie villain has got to be rooted in in some kind of unspoken fear, the kind of thing that, as a kid, you felt there might be something beneath the bed, something that could attack you at any moment.
It has to have a strong presence, and it doesn't hurt to have an unforgettable weapon.
Normal serial killer villains aren't something that's right up my alley, so it's gonna take me some time to figure out what I'm doing.
I don't know, maybe I can use Megan.
That would be my villain at this point.
These days, it takes an original marketing campaign and a great movie poster to get your audiences into the theater.
So your job is not only to create the villain and his or her back story, but you will also be working with a production designer to create a movie poster, complete with title and tagline.
Oh, that is cool.
On elimination day, you will reveal your villain on stage, in front of your custom movie poster image, just to help set the scene.
The judges will be looking not only at your technique, but also your overall concept, and movie poster design.
All right, when you get back, you can pick your models in the order that was selected randomly.
Get out of here and start working.
Good luck.
We get back to the lab, and there's a certain level of tension there because Sean Cunningham is the judge of this, he's the guy who created Jason.
So today, we only have 4 hours, and what we want to do is just sketch our ideas and start sculpting.
This challenge will force everyone in the room to put their money where their mouth is.
There's no hiding from this competition.
You have to sculpt, you have to mold, you have to be creative.
People's weaknesses are gonna really be highlighted on this challenge.
Gage and Marcel hanging out together is kind of a cool thing because I think their creative energy feeds off each other.
I hope it doesn't bite 'em in the butt and make their pieces look too similar, like their coming from the same project.
We did the same thing.
No, we're not.
They're brothers.
And they kill people.
We're the only ones that talk anymore.
I know, I think it's because everyone's just deep in thought, and really trying to bust out their ideas, and get them going.
I feel so pressured by this challenge because I can't sit back and be, like, "I'm gonna run another foam latex appliance," or, "Oh, I'm gonna sculpt something really easy.
" I've gotta go big or go home.
I'm feeling a little uneasy going into this challenge because I just didn't have something there, and all I could start thinking about are these Halloween characters I created years ago, and after the whole situation with Frank, I want to choose for safe.
Do you mind if I, uh No, Conor, I'm using all of 'em.
Yeah.
Shut up, Meg.
Oh, that's very pretty on you.
- It goes with my eyes.
- Yeah.
Megan's laugh is terrifying, and it makes me violent.
Every time I hear her laugh, I want to punch someone in the face.
As a girl, I was terrified of porcelain dolls, so I'm making a broken doll face because it was that specific face that scared me.
This character, she's a nun, and she comes out of surgery deformed, and she takes everyone's confessions, and goes out into the world and kills them by the way that they're sinning.
I am creating a deformed burn person, but I don't want it to look super realistic and disturbing, I want it to be fun, too.
My goal today is to get all of my sculpting done so the following day, I can mold it and cast it.
To bring my character to life, I'm sculpting a gigantic head appliance.
He has these makeshift arm crutches that support the weight of the head.
No, no, he's a genetic anomaly, and he has a completely weak and incapable body, but he controls people with his mind, so he can make people murder themselves.
Tate's character is all mental power, and he sculpts this huge head, and he tells me he's gonna run it in silicone, and I was a little concerned for him because silicone prosthetics can be very heavy.
I'm sculpting the facial prosthetics for my character.
He refused to grow up, and he has this Teddy bear that's probably been tied to his face most of his life, so I am going to use a silicone skin for his flesh area, and then the Teddy bear, the mask part will be fabricated between fur and maybe some soft polyfoam.
I haven't even looked at it 'cause you're sculpting on the other side, and I can't see it.
You should come look.
Come look at it, Tom.
Yeah.
I'm sculpting a very intricate piece.
I'm running it out of silicone, something I've never done, and I'm having to pull this thing together and make her look scary.
Ooh, I love those teeth.
And the cleft lip's cool.
It's 'cause she went through a windshield.
Jo's nun looked like she took Julie Andrews and put a lighter to her face, and just put some corn in the mouth.
- What are you gonna make it out of, silicone? - Silicone.
As soon as I hear her say she's gonna use silicone Okay.
I mean, it's your project.
Let's see what you can do.
Everyone all of a sudden is jumping on the silicone bandwagon because the judges liked my silicone prosthetics.
But silicone is not always the way to go, especially if you're not experienced with it.
It can be really difficult to blend and glue down, and sometimes paint.
I think Jo's in trouble.
I am extremely worried that this is not gonna turn out well.
With this challenge, we are gonna have to make original movie posters, so you have to design a tag line, you have to design a title, you have to design the aesthetics of the poster, what happens within it, and then your makeup is the forefront of the challenge.
Oh, I'm gonna make it We'll be meeting with the production designer today to help us with our movie poster.
- How are you doing? - Tate.
I'm Majken, the production designer.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
My concept with this character, he's definitely been locked away from people for a long time.
I'm calling him "him", h-i-m, which will be the name of the film as well.
My tag line is "Your mind, dot, dot, dot his playground.
" My whole piece takes place in the late 70s, early 80s.
- Okay.
- And it's a slasher film.
And it takes place in a roller-skating rink.
My movie is supposed to be funny and kitschy.
That's part of the vibe.
I just hope the judges get it.
The move is called - "Final Skate.
" - "Final Skate.
" "The class of '78 is going to pieces.
" I want to have my model placed here on the right hand side.
And I was thinking of having a lighthouse here.
The title's gonna be "Cautionary Point.
" My tag line is "Heed the warning.
" My villain is a lighthouse operator, so I want my killer to be half-burned, and then the other half, a water-logged corpse.
We only have four hours today, so I'm sculpting everything out in Clay, so I can start molding the skull in the amount of time allotted.
The name of the movie is "London Twilight," and the idea is that it's a roving gang of psychopaths, and the villain is a psychotic surgeon who's deformed.
- Tag line? - I'm working on it.
I'm gonna keep it clean, I'm gonna keep it simple.
I'm not gonna go crazy.
Because I'm rehashing this character I made in '97.
I'm thinking "The Doctor is Out", and then dot, dot, dot, "of his mind.
- You wanna do that? - That's the first one right now, and I know it might come off a little cheesy, so I gotta really play with that idea.
I would like a backdrop of a church.
Maybe, like, blood dripping from either the top or, like, from the door.
- Name? - "Confession.
" - Tag line? - "Confession won't always save you.
" I'm going outside of the box with my idea, and I'm excited about running the silicone, but on the other hand, you know, it's scary because I don't really know how to do it, so I'm gonna have to learn that, too, you know, in 13 hours of getting this entire thing together, if there could be a portrait here of a blondish family, because this girl has black hair.
For the title of the movie, I've decided to go with "Baby Doll", and the tag line is "Daddy's little secret has come back to play.
" Sam's one of those people that could easily be a dark horse.
She hasn't shown a lot of weakness.
She's got skills.
She's a really good illustrator, she's really good at sculpting.
Sam's coasting through the middle under the radar, and I think that's a good place to be.
My idea is a demon of vengeance, and through voodoo, he's summoned, so the title for the concept is "Voodoo Dawn.
" It's supposed to take place in the bayou.
I'd like some kind of a swampy backdrop.
Okay, do you have a tag line for me? "Death is just the beginning.
" Okay.
I am trying to get more reference down of wrinkles, and so I start scrunching my face and trying to see my brow furrow.
And I'm, like, "Oh, who has a really pissed off face?" - Hey, Conor? - Yeah.
Could you do this for me? You want to see crow's feet? All right, very good.
Thanks.
I see all the happy little crow's feet, and I'm, like, "Oh, perfect.
Thank you.
" Why did you come to me for that? Uh, you were the closest.
And I have the most wrinkles.
I picture a kid's bedroom, but dark.
And I would love to use kid's play blocks, you know, with letters.
I want it to say "Teddy told me to".
And then, my tag line is "It's all fun and games until someone dies.
" I think Tom does kind of Halloween quality work.
That's not the kind of stuff I would expect to see in a feature film.
My concept is an evil photographer, and his victims are the people that he takes photos of.
- Do you have a name? - "Chester's Photography".
"A picture says a thousand words, his victims say none.
" Okay.
I don't know that I would want to go see "Chester's Photography" because when she explained the concept, it sounded a little thrown together.
As I'm sculpting, I'm just not feeling it.
Anthony, it seems like he's just really taking a safe route.
I think this is the time to take chances and make something mind blowing.
I don't feel good about creating this character anymore because as an artist, I'm not trying anything new.
What's your story? Can I ask? You wanna know what it is? It's a big, big, epic story of none of your business.
What am I gonna do now? I'm in trouble.
I don't have time to start all over again.
- Thank you, Marcel.
- Marcel: You're welcome.
Oh, my God, what are we gonna do? We only have eight hours.
It's the second day of our spotlight challenge, and there's still a lot to do.
Just being able to bring it in the amount of time allotted gets really hard because we're on such a schedule.
And then Glenn walks in with McKenzie.
Hello, Megan.
Oh, hey.
- Scared you, huh? - Yes.
Hi.
Well, that's appropriate for the category.
Good God.
I'm gonna have a heart attack.
What are your plans for this? This is gonna be a foam piece, and then the teeth are gonna be made out of acrylic.
When he articulates, what's going to happen? Are the teeth going to move with the foam? I wasn't planning on him articulating.
I don't think Megan's works because it doesn't move.
I get her guy's about photos, but it's more a mask than a prosthetic.
Are we gonna see under the mask - No.
- During the reveal? This mask is fused to his face.
It doesn't come off.
He's also gonna have a giant yo-yo.
He's beaten people with it - or strangled them, or whatever.
- Okay.
Every horror villain needs his machete, so I picked a yo-yo because it's a kids' toy, and it's kind of creepy.
I really love early 70s, early 80s slasher flicks.
I remember watching those, and it just scared me, the idea of a deformed person chopping up people.
Foam or silicone? - I'm gonna do silicone.
- Cool.
It's gonna be a one-piece face appliance.
I'm gonna try and do silicone on it.
I'm planning on doing a silicone mold.
I'm doing everything in silicone.
- You're gonna run in silicone? - Seems to be working for me.
It's got three-piece silicone.
So I'm gonna go more flesh, so I'm doing it in silicone.
I really want more articulation.
All right, well, we'll leave you to it.
- Thank you.
- See you guys.
What do you think of some of the work? A little worried about some of the color choices.
- Really? - On the whole, yeah.
Marcel, Anthony.
When you're working with realistic-looking skin, it's more difficult.
In the end, it'll sell better as a realistic makeup if you can pull it off, but there's less latitude there.
And it's more monstery, if you will, when you go with heavier colors.
How do you feel about everybody seems to be doing silicone? Well, I think that they're learning as they go that it reads better.
It's not always the right choice.
This is gonna be a true test of their painting skills.
- That's gonna be interesting.
- It is.
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.
See you tomorrow.
Good luck.
Messing up the Teddy hair? Yeah, I'm gonna trim it all down, - and make it look like it's been used.
- Awesome, man.
Is there a text book way to make a Teddy bear? Maybe.
Do I know that? No.
To me, it's not how you get to grandma's house.
It's just the fact that you get there.
Today we need to get everything into molds, and start casting the prosthetics.
To make a mold, you have to cover your sculpt in wet cement.
When your mold has set, you're gonna take your silicone and pour that into your mold.
Oh, God.
Please be good please be good.
Running the silicone is pretty nerve-wracking.
I don't know if it's gonna set completely or not, so I'm nervous to see what it's gonna come out like.
Did you vaseline your stone? - Uh-oh.
- Oh, this scares me.
Me and Gage forget to release our molds.
Releasing the mold is where you put in something that puts up a barrier between the plaster and whatever you're putting in there so it doesn't stick to the plaster or seal itself shut.
Adding mold release is easy enough.
Let's see, what have we got here? You can use cooking spray, anything oil-based.
Soap, shaving cream, baby powder works.
It allows you to easily peel your appliance away.
If not, it forms a bond.
That can be bad because silicone is really tough.
You guys just pop these things open? Or did he have to use that thing? I literally had to put then on my feet and pull it.
If it flies, it's gonna break my fingers off.
One, two Beautiful piece.
God, you scared me.
It came out great, and it's beautiful.
That's something that my mother would be proud of me in the end.
I'm proud of it, definitely.
Ooh, it's exactly how I wanted it, too.
I'm excited Anthony: That's a good release there, Jo.
That came right out.
Yeah.
Son of a bitch.
Hey, Conor, could you come here for a second? - I forgot to release it.
- Oh.
What? - It's coming.
- Okay.
Okay, got mine out.
Thank you, buddy.
We got it out, I was, like, "Whew.
" - Conor.
- Conor: Yo.
Can you help me with mine? Oh, for ***.
Okay, if mine is this hard to open, Gage's gonna be bad, too.
Yeah, just hold it right there.
No.
Hold it steady.
Everyone's coming over and trying to help me.
Oh, dude, that's not Gage's will not open for anything.
It's, like, sealed shut.
You're gonna have to chip it out.
Sorry.
I'm looking at my mold, and I'm totally worried about my prosthetic.
I'm screwed.
I basically have lost everything.
Coming up The eyes don't fit.
This is gonna be a heck of a horror film.
I really like this makeup.
This design is a vessel of your ineptitude.
Tonight, one of you will be eliminated.
AAA no.
I am looking at my mold, and I am freaking out.
You're gonna have to chip it out.
Now I'm really worried for him.
If you guys need any help, I don't want to shove my hands in there.
No, no, you're good.
Gage forgot to release his mold.
It's stuck in there.
You're either gonna ruin your mold or your prosthetic, and you probably won't get a chance to get a second go at it.
The face lifecast, we have copies of those.
The sculpt, on the other hand, was a one-time deal.
So he needs to be able to preserve the sculpt part at all costs, especially because there's already silicone inside of it.
It just comes down to having to break the lifecast.
It's going to cost him a lot of time, chipping this lifecast out.
Let me see? How is it? - Here.
- Oh, here we go.
It tore.
Meg, you're tearing it.
Really? She starts ripping it off, and then she leaves.
Yeah.
Just yeah.
Awesome.
Thank you.
That's just another kink in the whole process.
Already being under a time crunch, already having to pull it out and paint it and everything else.
No, I think it's coming.
Now I have to sit here and pull everything out piece by piece, literally.
Here we go.
It's almost like peeling a stubborn hard-boiled egg.
It's, like, you get a piece off, and there's little pieces that cracked, and you have to go through individually and get all those little, tiny pieces off, so he spent a good time doing that.
I'm, like, peeling it out piece by piece.
And it sucks.
Today's the day of the application, and we have five hours to complete this project.
- How you doin'? - What's going on? Your face definitely helped a lot.
Does that feel about right on your chin area? - Yeah.
- Just go ahead and Take your hand and just hold it there for me.
Cool.
Megan ripped my prosthetic, but because it's a nice, clean tear it's gonna fit right back together.
And then whatever crease is there, I'm just gonna use silicone to go over that.
So I think it's gonna work out really well.
I'm placing the appliance on her face, and I'm realizing, like, my edges aren't that great.
An edge is literally where the prosthetic meets the skin.
If that doesn't blend down, you can see it.
It automatically looks fake.
Really great.
My edges are not staying down.
They are lifting up again and again and again, and I am having to keep adding more glue.
The chest piece, instead of backing it up with a lighter weight foam, I just filled the whole thing with silicone, and it ended up kind of weighing a ton.
You wear safety pins? I have not connected my head piece to my chest piece.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I have not connected the horns, and I've still got plenty of painting to do.
My work's cut out for me.
Think "Clockwork Orange".
Think sort of like Dr.
Jekyll, Mr.
Hyde.
I'm starting to get scared, looking around the room during application day, 'cause I'm starting to see these characters actually flush out and come together.
I basically just recreated stuff that's been done a million times over.
I think this is it, I'm gonna lose, and I have no one to blame but myself.
We're packing up our kits to go over to the stage for last looks, and we still have so much to do.
We've got an hour to finish up our characters, and I could be in trouble.
The success or failure completely hinges on the application end of it.
I get so jittery.
My edges are starting to look bad.
I have to constantly keep adding more stuff.
It's a complete bummer.
The eyes don't fit.
I am worried.
I sculpted out her eyelids because my character doesn't blink.
My problem is the eyelids have stretched well beyond the size of my eyes that I created, and there's no more time to make bigger eyes.
Hey, guys, there's only 15 minutes left.
I'm freaking out inside so much that I'm, like "Okay, gotta get it together.
Get it together.
" But it's so intense and so stressful, and I really tried on this.
One minute.
Okay, stand up, jump up.
Welcome to the "Face Off" reveal stage.
Tonight, one of you will be eliminated.
Say hello to your judges.
Owner of optic nerve makeup effects studio, - Glenn Hetrick.
- Hello.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Welcome back, everybody.
Creature designer and director Patrick Tatopoulos.
Hi, guys.
And our guest judge this week, the man who ought Jason Voorhees to life, director a producer Sean Cunningham.
- Hey, guys.
- All: Hi, Sean.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original movie villain, along with a movie poster, title, and tag line.
So, let's see what you've come up with.
When my poster comes up, my guy comes out walking on these arm crutches, and it's the creepiest thing I've ever seen.
With the risk that I took, I couldn't have been happier.
Cunningham has, like, a huge smile from the get go.
I'm looking at him, and I look at all the other guys, I'm, like I knew I'd kind of just thrown this one away, and I just felt sick.
I'm happy with the end result.
I really incorporated all the elements into my character that I wanted to.
When Kimie looks around with those creepy eyes, I can see people who are watching this get physically uncomfortable around her.
I feel like mine was the creepiest.
He does his little wave.
I mean, it was so me.
I love this villain.
I feel like it's exactly what I had in my mind.
It was cool seeing up there, all put together.
As soon as I saw my poster come up, I was just, like, "Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
" I don't like to look at the judges reactions because not only is it Ve, Glenn, and Patrick, it's also Sean Cunningham.
It's hard to hear people you admire so much tear you down.
It really, really cuts deep.
As my character comes up, I realize What if the judges don't get it? All right, judges, why don't you take a closer look? Indeed.
Can you see right here? Can you see my hand? Without turning your No.
Is this built into the lip prosthetic? Don't go past it, don't go past it, don't go past it, don't go past it.
You, you, you.
There was no way in hell mine was gonna be best.
I wasn't shooting for best.
I was shooting for middle ground.
Yeah, yeah.
Let me see your mask on.
- Did she make the mask, too? - Glenn: Indeed.
Are you able to move your mouth, open your mouth and close? Can you turn your head this way? I'm feeling nervous because I didn't know really where I stood.
Oh, my God.
Everyone's was so different.
Can you turn your head, please? Okay.
Well, the judges have scored your creations.
Conor Sam Jo - You are safe this week.
- Thank you, God.
If you would please head back to the makeup room.
Thank you.
Come on, beautiful.
Oh, my God.
I'm so happy I'm back here.
The rest of you were the best and the worst of this week.
The judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
First up, Gage.
Gage, can you tell us a little bit about your character.
Yeah, absolutely.
He used to be a lighthouse worker and maybe fell asleep behind the light, and it burns him.
So, after that, other people there are starting to get killed off one by one.
I chose silicone for the translucency, especially on the burn, so I like it.
The paint job I like.
I think it's kind of like an old '50s horror movie, and that's kind of really cool that you went for that.
I think you did a great job.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Ve.
Some of those characters we're seeing tonight inspire more pity.
They look like twisted being that will not frighten me, but this one felt very powerful.
- That was a big deal for me.
- Thank you.
I thought the lighthouse, and the remote place, and this great weapon, and I think it's really scary.
This is gonna be a heck of a horror film.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
All right, Gage, thank you.
All right, Anthony.
What's this guy's deal? Why should I be so afraid of him? Dr.
Edward psychobabble is the leader of the gang London twilight, and the idea is that they were a roving gang similar to "A Clockwork Orange", where they terrorized London.
And I'm more into, like, mental horrors than a brute standing in a doorway, hacking people up.
Not not to say anything about "Friday the 13th.
" What it seemed as if you were doing was a movie that I've just seen to death, and I was thinking why today am I gonna go out and see this movie? I'm not real happy with this makeup, to tell you the truth.
- Okay.
- The paint job's crappy, his mouth is off.
I think you kinda, like, flunked out on this one.
You've squandered an opportunity here to come up with something truly original.
This design, unfortunately, has become a vessel of your ineptitude.
I'm very disappointed.
Anthony, thank you.
I felt like crying right there 'cause I knew it wasn't who I was.
I could do so much more.
Megan.
It's a very simple makeup.
You had one feature.
We concentrate on the teeth, and I wish you'd gave them more depth because it's your central piece.
I agree with Patrick that the smile didn't work for me at all.
He can't articulate, he can't do any of the things that you would need him to do dramatically.
I'm not sure you've quite thought through how it would actually be used.
We never design anything to be a single shot, even if it's supposed to be a single shot.
Unfortunately, I think you've missed the mark here.
All right, Megan, thank you very much.
All right, Tate.
I think design-wise, this is very impressive to me.
The proportion of the eyes has something very mystical and disturbing about it.
It feels like a mummified creature.
There is something very much alive about this face and that, to me, is quite amazing.
Thank you very much.
I think I would have liked to have seen just possibly a little bit more highlighting going on on the actual paint job on the head, and I think you lose a lot of the detail.
Other than that, all in all, the totality of it is wonderful.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
- I really appreciate that.
- Congratulations.
I wish you would have made the eyes blend.
The static eyes are one of the things that throw me off.
I absolutely find it, overall, visually riveting.
I love this makeup.
Thank you very much.
That means a lot.
Thank you.
All right, Tate.
Thank you.
Marcel.
How successful do you feel you've been with this makeup? Painting silicone is tricky.
I wanted to keep it translucent.
I feel like, for the time I had, I'm happy with it.
I'm not.
I'm just not getting the character and how the character lives in that environment.
I love late '70s, early '80s slasher films.
His graduation class decides to break into the roller rink.
She busts in, or he busts in, with an ax, and dispatches them in horrible, horrible ways.
I see a crazy person on roller-skates chopping people up.
You know, I didn't have a sense of being scared.
I could be grossed out.
You know, your coloring is a little bit off.
I think, possibly, you might have been better off doing this out of foam.
I mean, it doesn't really match up around her mouth.
So I don't think you really completed the makeup job.
It doesn't look like a makeup to me, it just looks like a rubber mask you've stuck on and tried to paint.
I wish you fill out more, the actual the weapon, for example.
We're on the skating rink, you could have used something more related to the skating world.
It doesn't feel iconic.
Marcel, thank you very much.
All right, Tom.
Well, I gotta tell you, when you walked out, or I should say, when he walked out, I thought, this guy has got some deep rooted problems with a Teddy bear.
I took a note from Sean when we met him at the psycho house, he said one of the things that scares people the most is stuff they were afraid of in their childhood.
You just did a really good job.
I also like the way you took the time to finish the hands.
Thank you.
I love the button eye.
It's so creepy.
I'm a fan.
I'll go see this movie.
Well done.
It's genius, and I don't need to tell much more.
I think you've created a character there, and it's very, very strong.
The way you blended the fur into your prosthetic is flawless.
Other than that, I think all I have to say is that if you win, I hope that you spend some of the money on therapy.
All right, Tom.
Thank you very much.
You can step back.
- Good job, man.
- Nice work.
Glenn, tell us about the top looks.
This week's top looks came from Tate.
Very strong.
Great profiles.
Also from Gage.
A really cool, cohesive concept, your character.
And from Tom, the really exciting and unique take on the villain.
This week's winner is Tom.
Tom, congratulations.
You have earned the right to consult with the judges on who you feel should be eliminated.
The rest of you can head back to the makeup room until the judges have made their decision.
Thank you, guys.
Good work.
Who do you think should go home this week? My honest opinion is I think Megan should go home.
I believe that she's the weakest artist left your group.
She has slipped through the radar several times.
I just feel like today sold it.
It was not functional, like you guys all pointed out, as far as the mouth.
Tom, thank you.
- You can head back to the makeup room.
- Alright.
All right, judges.
Let's start with Megan.
What are your thoughts? That makeup, we've seen done well a lot of times.
- Right.
- And this wasn't one of them.
To stick that big old plastic mouth in there was not really adequate.
She really hasn't performed and done anything really exceptional.
You're right.
It's an awful decision.
- I wish she would have gone another way.
- Bad, bad.
- And the teeth were even badly done.
- Bad.
What did you all think about what Tom had to say? I'm feeling that most of that is animosity generated by last week's situation.
I think we have to take that into consideration.
What do you think about Marcel? Marcel seems to be always quite satisfied - with what comes out.
- Exactly.
And I'd like him to be a little bit more self critical.
It makes me feel like someone that may not feel he needs to progress.
I really just didn't get the whole thing today.
I mean, I think that he threw the burn makeup in as something to do, as opposed to creating an iconic character that would carry through franchise films.
I've seen far too many people like that.
They actually think what they are doing is good.
It makes it impossible for them to learn and to grow.
I like that Marcel took his chances, I just didn't much like the concept.
And what are your thoughts about Anthony? Anthony has proven to be a pretty decent artist, but today he failed.
It was just very plain and very boring.
He had that poster with the fog, but there wasn't anything scary or anything Special about it at all, I didn't think.
We don't want someone in our industry who's gonna constantly be ducking and covering every time there's a big challenge that comes our way.
It's not a very good strategy, I agree.
Judges, have you reached a decision? We have.
So who is going home tonight? Marcel Really unhappy with the quality of the sculpture and the paint job and the overall concept.
Megan, the decision to make a inarticulated mouth was a poor one.
And Anthony, we just feel you played it safe.
There's no room in our industry for people shooting for mediocrity.
The person going home tonight is Marcel.
Glad I got this opportunity, and I want to thank you guys.
Please head back to the makeup room, and pack up your kit.
- I'm out, guys.
- Jo: No, you're not.
- No, you're not.
- Yeah, I am.
Are you kidding? - I don't know.
- Jo: What? - McCloud.
- Nice meeting you, dude.
- Come here, Jo.
- No.
I tried my best.
I tried my hardest on each challenge.
I met great people.
You don't deserve to leave, Marcel.
We will see you after this.
I started out when I was a little kid, no formal training, and I've got pretty far, and this is what I'm always gonna do.
