Face Off (2011) s04e05 Episode Script

Previously on Face Off The artists created confectionary delights.
Kris's candy corn demon broke Anthony's winning streak.
Thank you so much.
And Alex was sent home.
Now, ten artists remain.
Tonight, they'll face a gargantuan challenge and be judged by a movie industry titan.
Bryan Singer.
Oh, my God! - In the lab - I hope this works.
The pressure reaches an all-time high.
I can't do this by myself.
This is crazy.
If we don't pull it off, it's the biggest failure, literally.
From the ankles up, it's fabulous.
I think it's the biggest makeup we've ever seen on the show.
It's a hot mess, and it's embarrassing.
It's hard to critique because I don't want to kick you while you're down.
I'm incredibly impressed.
I'm-- actually, I'm actually blown away.
In the end, only one will win the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at Make Up For Ever's academies in New York and Paris, the all-new 2013 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Welcome to Face Off.
Good morning.
I think we're all relieved that someone else won besides Anthony.
His winning streak is broken.
It's definitely a confidence booster for me and for everyone, but I think we're at a point now where we really have to take chances.
So into the van and onto the next challenge.
It's very important to me not to be in bottom looks again, so to be noticed for having top looks or to win would be really, really nice.
We wind up at Magic Mountain.
This place is so cool.
We're all running around, acting like children.
We're at an amusement park, so of course, we're gonna have fun.
We're checking out all the cool sites, and then, we see this giant redwood tree, and just past the tree stands McKenzie.
Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain.
This has been a popular location for dozens of films and features more roller coasters than any other theme park on the planet, but I bet you're wondering why the heck you're here today.
- Yeah.
- Yeah? Well, I take it you did notice the giant redwood tree right behind me.
- Yup.
- Good.
Because that's why you're here.
You're all headed to the land of giants.
Ah, knew it.
This week's challenge is giants.
That's kind of a monster, and that's kind of cool.
The adventurous tale of Jack The Giant Killer recalls Jack, a farmer's son who rid the land of all evil giants.
That is the basis for this week's spotlight challenge.
To create an original giant character that Jack might have slain on his adventures.
I have never made a giant before, and I'm thinking it's gonna be a lot of work.
Now, I'd like to introduce you to the director and producer of award-winning and extremely popular films, including The Usual Suspects, X-Men, Valkyrie, and of course, the upcoming Jack The Giant Slayer.
He's also producer and director of the TV show House.
Please welcome Bryan Singer.
Wow! I'm starstruck.
It's Bryan Singer, which is insane.
Oh, my God.
I'm a huge Bryan Singer fan.
He's awesome.
How are you? Thank you so much for being here.
Oh, my pleasure.
Thanks for having me.
As a producer who has brought such amazing characters to life, such as Keyser Soze, Magneto, Wolverine, what makes a compelling character on-screen? Well, I think it's when you find a way to translate the actor's personality, whoever's playing the role, and infuse that into the character.
I think whenever you do that, you believe it more.
Now, there's something that we haven't told you about Jack's adventures in the original tale.
Jack encounters several giants.
And some of them have multiple heads.
With that in mind, your giants must have at least two heads.
- Nice.
- Okay.
Creating a giant with one head is difficult enough.
Creating it with two or three or more is going to be extremely difficult.
This is a team challenge.
Your randomly selected teams of two are Alam and Eric Z.
Kris and Eric F.
- Oh! - Oh, that's an awesome team.
Meagan and Jenna.
I know Meagan's worried about the tumor in my hand, which causes my fingers to be completely numb, so I know it's going to be rough.
Wayne and House.
Autumn and Anthony.
Anthony's a four-time winner, so I don't even have to worry.
I feel like I'm on friggin' vacation this challenge.
Now, please stand with your new teammate.
- Awesome.
- Ah, that's great.
By the way, Bryan is also going to be joining us on our reveal stage to see your makeups.
This is rad! It's an honor to be able to, uh, you know, try to show off for this guy.
Bryan, what are you going to be looking for in their final creations? Obviously, something original, something we've never seen before, but also something that brings out a bit of the personality in the models that they choose, so we really feel the characters come to life.
Okay, I want you guys to stay here for just a little bit and get started on your designs.
When you're done, I want you to head back to the lab, choose your models, and get started.
Good luck.
See you tomorrow.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Let the actor show through, right? Right.
And that's the dwarf's head.
Yeah, this is the actor's real head.
Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Okay.
Eric is the mastermind.
I put my complete faith in him.
Our concept is to take our big guy, and turn him into Jack, and have two giants towering over him.
It feels really good that Kris is willing to take the risk.
If we can pull this off, it's going to be something great.
Eye movement? House comes up with a concept right off the bat.
He's fired up about it.
Three heads because I'm thinking everybody's doing two heads.
Two heads are easy.
Actor's wearing makeup, dummy head, dummy head, and he's operating both of them, la la la.
We're seeing the redwood tree, and our giant lives out in the woods, so let's incorporate that.
The feet are going to be giant roots, and he's going to have tree limbs popping off.
I really think those kind of details help create a more iconic character.
I mean, it could be any kind of giant.
It could be a bird giant, it could be a horse giant.
You know? I think we need to keep things minimal.
I know that Jenna wants to do huge things, and she wants to go out of the box.
You know, make this a fake arm, and the other one a puppet, so that mouth will move.
She wants to do these puppets with the head, but I don't think we're capable of doing that.
What if we build up from the shoulder? His face is here, and there's just a fake one above him.
We figured out that we can do a head on top of a head.
It will look like our giant has taken in a human being and has transformed it into the cartoon world.
That's time.
Let's rock this.
So we get back to the lab, and it's time to choose our models, different models than what we've used before.
They're actually really big guys.
They're all, like, I'm trying to stay away from every idea that I think everybody else is going to gravitate towards.
So our concept is to have this contorted giant with a twisted body, heads kind of growing out of him as if they were genetic mutations.
I start blocking in the chest and the back pieces.
Autumn starts working on the face.
Let's make sure we get some good movement in the mouth.
Everything I do has movement in the mouth.
I'm a little concerned because I know Autumn is a strong player, and I feel I'm a strong player too.
But I don't want his head to be flat 'cause I already got shitted on for that.
So when you put two leaders together, they clash.
I think we can go more stronger, like, on the chin.
Okay.
The concept for our giant is, he slays other giants, and as punishment, he's chopped off their heads and attached them to his feet.
We're also playing with the idea that, when your feet are tired, you complain, and that these heads on the feet will always be complaining and talking back to the giant.
Do you like the way this is coming, by the way? Mm-hmm, I like it.
It's awesome having Alam as a partner.
She doesn't get stressed out, which is awesome, and she always has really fun, fresh, new ideas.
We only have a limited amount of time to create this giant makeup.
Let's get this thing sculpted, priority number one.
So both of us do something that we've never done before.
We're working on the sculpture together.
We're not splitting up chores, rather, we're combining our styles to create this makeup as quickly as possible.
Symmetry is going to be key on this.
Like, taper the sculpt like that.
Yeah, and out.
So that as it goes on, it just, like, bloop.
I'm feeling really good, at this point, working with Meagan.
I think we're communicating really well.
I'm having a lot of issues with my hand, but I keep trying to put it out of my mind.
I don't want it to take up my time.
I need to focus on what I'm doing.
So we get six hours today at the lab.
We start cutting up pieces of styrofoam for our two giant heads, just to get a rough shape, and then we'll take some ultracal and some hemp, coat those over to get about an inch thickness.
And once they're all set up, we're ready to sculpt.
Point the nose that way.
- That way? - Yeah, to keep the flow.
I thought it would be crooked than this way, like-- You know, in any makeup, the face is always the most important element, and this is the first time that I'm stepping back and letting somebody else do the face so that I can tackle the chest and the back.
To give up that responsibility is a little nerve-racking.
Kris and I want to execute the biggest character as possible, so I grab a piece of chalk, and I'm using the lab floor as a giant doodle pad to get our concept and proportion chart done.
Now I can physically see the amount of area that needs to get covered.
Look how big that thing is.
Fox is a madman.
Gonna be 10 foot tall! - That's 10 foot tall? - 10 foot, yes.
How tall-- the dude's, like, 6'4"? Yeah.
Right there, that's his head.
To create this giant, I know that Eric wants to push the envelope as much as possible, and I have a lot of respect for that.
Looking at the sheer size of their giant, right away, I'm thinking, "what is that mold going to look like?" Are they going to be able to get it off the piece and clean it out and cast it in time? - This is crazy.
- They said make a giant.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Laid out, our giant is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.
I'm getting worried.
Will we finish this project? I know we don't have a lot of time to pull this off, so every minute has to be accounted for.
If we don't pull it off, it's going to be the biggest failure in Face Off history.
Literally.
Coming up I can't do this shit.
Please don't give up right now.
It's not looking good.
Man, we are burnt.
There's a stunning lack of originality in this design.
Well, this is certainly the most ambitious effort.
The dude's, like, 6'4"? Yeah.
Right there, that's his head.
That's massive, dude.
Laid out, our giant is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.
Hold those corners real quick? I never worked on a giant monster before, but I trust Eric.
He wanted to make the biggest monster, so we're doing it.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Please touch it while I'm gone.
Oh, please touch it.
With a teammate like Autumn, I think the way to approach this is to let her think she has more control than she really does.
I'm afraid, if I push too much, then her personality's going to get bigger and may not be able to be contained.
I, like, go and potty, come back to something new.
You said touch it.
These guys are doing three.
Anthony's doing three.
The feet are three, technically.
By the end of the day, I'm looking around the shop, and it seems like almost everyone is doing some kind of three-headed creature.
- Let's do two.
- Let's do that.
- Bring it down a little bit.
- Yeah.
So we decide to loop off one of the heads and just make it a two-headed giant.
It saves some work for the actor, and it saves some work for us.
Time's up, guys.
I think our sculpts look beautiful, and I'm especially proud of my face sculpt.
I just hope Anthony doesn't get credit for all of it.
- Whoo! - Whoo! Day two begins.
We have a lot of work to do.
We have a chest to make, a side shoulder piece, we have to make a pair of tree feet, and we have to make a head that our model can puppeteer.
We already done one head and almost done two, and we need one more.
So now I'm trying to sculpt the left foot.
For our concept, we're incorporating a lot of tree elements, and on the chest, I'm incorporating an oak tree-type texture of bark, so it's organic-looking.
Hey, guys.
We're here for our walk-through.
- Hi, everybody.
- Hey, hey! Ready? Michael Westmore-- he is my mentor for the season, and I really couldn't ask for anything better than that because it really gives us a chance to shape things before it's too late.
We just kick-started these.
Obviously very root.
Almost like the tree root itself-- the feet.
And the redwood was actually the big inspiration for us.
Glad to see you've got a lot of deep grooving to it 'cause the root actually grows like this.
- Yeah.
- I want you to promise me you're not gonna make it muddy.
Keep your browns and your greens separate, because they start getting together, and you lose all your wonderful sculpture.
That's right.
We decided to focus on a little more simple and really concentrate on the paint job.
Be careful of it because you really have a lot of edges here.
And as the competition's getting stronger, getting rid of edges is gonna be very, very important.
We have a plan for that.
Vines coming out of his mouth.
Smart thinking.
I love the idea of the cleft lip.
You get this on, really glue those lips down, - so they don't flap on you.
- Yeah.
- It's gonna be neat.
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Painting is gonna be important.
What are you thinking about, color-wise? We want to do some blue washes and have some parts of him have loss of pigment.
I think it's a good idea, because you go dark, you're gonna start losing your detail.
Mr.
Westmore loved the idea of doing the blue color scheme.
And if there's one challenge I'm going to go all out, do some crazy colors, it should be the giant.
We're go turn Jack into a little dwarf.
He's a little guy with a complex.
And the heads are gonna be puppets.
Okay Eric, I know last week, you had some problems completing everything, so is anything happening here that's going to come up and bite you again, or you really have it thought out this time? Really have it thought out.
We're tackling all the sculptures.
We're kinda putting both of our ideas into everything.
So we're just splitting everything right down the middle.
You know, this all has to be molded today.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
Mr.
Westmore's concern is, will we have time to complete our giant makeup? I won't lie.
I'm a little nervous too.
All right, everybody, we're heading out, - but it's looking good.
- Thank you.
When the sculpture is finished, it's time to make a mold.
Wayne and I are molding like crazy.
We're molding everything together at once.
There's a lot to do, and we're doing it.
Jenna is molding in the spray booth, and you just don't mold in the spray booth.
You use that for spraying stuff.
- Jenna! - What? I just wanna get this properly done.
Do you wanna clean this, and I'll do that? Okay, go.
I'm starting to feel a little frustrated at this point because I feel like I'm not getting the opportunity to do things the way I would do them.
That's the trouble with working with a partner because we each have our different way of doing things.
No, Jenna, no.
She does things one way, I do things another way.
And sometimes it doesn't matter how you do them, just as long as you get the end result that you wanna get.
What did she do? Jenna, you took the cowl off of it? I didn't take it off.
We gotta build it back up, otherwise it's not gonna go on his head.
I'm panicking.
There's no cowl here, so there's no way for it to stay on the actor.
So we have to block this out really quick.
No, no, no, no.
That's fine, that's fine.
It's this, under here.
I can tell Meagan doubts my ability to do things, and I know she does not wanna go home.
But I do wish that she had a little more faith in me, that I do know how to do some things.
I hope this works.
Here we go.
Anytime you got a mold this big to do, it works a lot better if you can do it as a team.
This thing is like trying to plaster a hot tub.
I mean, it is massive.
- It's Bigfoot.
- Bigfoot! Ooh, nice.
We've got an hour and a half.
Okay.
Did you put pry points? There's one down here, and there's one down here.
Jenna's responsibility was to just make that big mold, and I can't open it.
There's not good pry points.
This is completely fucked.
I'm very frustrated with our situation.
It's not looking good.
We're cracking it in, and if it breaks, it breaks.
I'm trying to just get it done, but it's a disaster.
We gotta get this mold open, and I'm very concerned.
- Where's it stuck? - Where is it stuck? - Oh, right here.
- Where? Right here? I'm watching these poor girls rolling around the floor, struggling with a mold.
I can't take it no more.
I'm gonna have to step in and help 'em get this mold out.
Watch out, move.
Thank you.
So we got the mold open, but there's still a lot of cleaning we have to do.
The time's ticking, man.
It's stressing me out.
- It's not on there.
- Oh, my God.
Once I finally got the mold cleaned out, I put it together, and it doesn't close, there's a gap.
Which means if the mold doesn't close properly, then anything you fill in there will leak or not cure.
So Jenna and I are running high-risk right now.
Time's up! Man, we are burnt.
We got our heads foamed, but we still got a hand to mold on application day.
We'll get it done-- I hope.
All right.
It's application day.
We have four hours to complete our giant makeup.
We know we have a lot of work to do.
We're in the mold room, pulling pieces out of mold, running polyfoam.
I'm a little concerned.
I'm a worrywart anyway.
This whole thing came out.
Our piece is, like, all messed up.
The whole edge is completely ripped.
The nose piece has, like, a bunch of lumps.
The seams are huge.
It looks really in bad shape.
It's still wet.
The foam piece is not cured all the way, so it's collapsing on itself.
I think in the finished product, we can either cover it or hide it somehow.
I'm still optimistic at this point that something will work.
Ooh.
Yeah, it's ugly.
There are a few bad tears in the prosthetic, but I feel really confident that Autumn and I are gonna be able to pull this off.
We'll make that scarring.
We have a whole new set of models.
They're all giant men, How you doing, buddy? And we're gonna make a cool giant.
Slip your hand up in here, and it's basically a puppet like this.
Okay.
We're worried about piecing everything together, painting, and then fitting it on him.
There's a lot to do besides a makeup application.
When you're walking, big, giant steps.
- Like-- - Like, big steps.
Yeah, there you go.
That's it.
All right, that's perfect.
Keep pulling.
We open up the molds, and we see a perfectly ran foot.
We got our feet, and we're ready to go.
We're so excited.
You wanna blow foam in that real fast? - Yeah, hittin' it right now.
- Awesome! We're in the mold room still fabricating things.
Our model has been sitting for a while before we even get a chance to go over and say hello to him.
The clock's ticking.
I hope I didn't get me and Kris in over our heads with this wacky scheme.
Just start working on a wardrobe.
I'm gonna start working on the wardrobe, I got to.
Anthony is pre-painting everything 'cause he is Mr.
Illustrator.
And I will be building the costumes because he is scared shitless of the sewing machine.
I need scissors.
Do you want me to start mixing paint up and getting, I'm gonna start spraying the feet? I'm feeling pretty good.
House is feeling pretty good.
We just can't wait to see this thing all just come together.
Is it gonna fall? We go to put the cowl on our actor It's not gonna stay up.
And it's not gonna work.
The whole inside of it is gummy, and I'd rather put it somewhere else.
What I suggest is we cut it open and put it coming through his shirt.
It looks really bad.
Like, it looks bad.
Cut it straight down the middle so that we have the front face of it.
I know Meagan is furious with me and aggravated with me and frustrated with me.
You just gonna put that wig on him? - No.
- No? Jenna's really-- she-- I could tell, mentally, she's worn down.
Safety pin the head to the cheesecloth.
- To this? - Yeah.
And we'll wrap it around his body.
Fuck, I can't do this shit.
Jenna, please don't give up right now.
Please.
I can't feel my fucking hand.
I know that, but please-- I-I can't do this by myself.
Meagan's getting kinda frustrated.
The time's ticking away, and it's very stressful when things start to go wrong.
You know, I just hope they get this thing knocked out.
What time is it? Five minutes.
Oh.
Lookin' handsome.
Scissors, scissors, scissors.
It's okay.
It's gonna work out.
That's time.
It's a disaster.
I feel like, regardless if it's on me or her, it's crumbling.
It's coming down.
And I just wanna get it to a good place, so it's not embarrassing.
Coming up We don't have much to do, other than assemble a giant.
Honestly, it didn't go the way you wanted.
It does look like hell.
Well, this is certainly the most ambitious effort.
Last looks is always intense.
The last looks on this challenge, maybe the most intense.
Can you open the mouth? Lower? Higher? Uh, higher.
We don't have much to do, other than assemble a giant.
I'm a little freaked out about this.
- All righty.
- We didn't have any clothes.
We had to make that all last-minute.
I start frantically cutting up leather and gluing it on.
Just kinda keep your hands like that.
I don't want to let Alam down.
I wanna get this thing done.
I have to have a finished piece up there for the both of us.
Hey, guys, we got Thank you.
Everything that possibly could go wrong is going wrong.
We're sinking, but we're trying.
Cut a hole that will go over this.
Meagan has an idea of how it needs to work.
- Do you understand what I mean? - No, I don't.
She's thinking, I'm sure, "what, is she stupid?" His face is all jacked up.
Just take it off.
We can't just send him out there with one head, he's gotta have two.
If you think it needs to get off, then take it off.
It's time, guys! Put your brushes down.
I'm gonna cry.
Look at that, fucking awesome, man! His other shoe's not on.
It's a hot mess, and it's embarrassing.
And I am scared I'm going home.
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.
- Good evening.
Evening.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
A very big hello to you this evening.
Hello.
Creature and concept designer Neville Page.
A giant hello to you this evening.
Oh, copycat.
And with us again tonight is writer, producer, and director Bryan Singer.
Hey.
Thanks.
Bryan, thank you so much for being here.
Glad to be here.
This week your spotlight challenge was to create a giant character with at least two heads that Jack might have slain on his adventures in the book Jack The Giant Killer.
Let's see what you've all come up with.
I like our giant.
He's the character that Alam and I wanted to make.
On elimination day, all that you can really ask for is that you're happy with your character.
This thing is impressive.
It's filling up half the stage.
And the looks on the judges' faces is amazing.
I don't even wanna look at it.
And I'm thinking, "I'm going home.
There's no way I'm gonna make it through this.
" I'm ready to win this one, at least be in top looks.
I mean, we have really clean makeup.
It looks really nice.
This is probably the most excited I've been since I've been here.
You know, it is very nerve-racking seeing, not only the judges, sitting there, but also Bryan Singer looking with a magnifying glass over our work.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look? Wow, that's bizarre.
It's just such a strange choice.
Our giant doesn't have as great of a presence compared to the others, and that worries me.
What the hell happened to you? Tall, looks like polyfoam.
This is so great.
Look, he's stabbing his hand.
Oh, neat.
This is so fun.
It feels so great.
We pulled off a last-minute miracle.
This thing is so huge, so impressive, but funny.
Your mouth doesn't move in the makeup? Open your mouth as was you can, please.
Oh, they're just really stiff.
- Yeah.
- Interesting choices here, form-wise, that I just don't understand.
Is that edge coming up down there? Yeah, it is.
I am so embarrassed that's onstage.
There's no doubt one of us is going home.
Oh, my God.
Watch our new web series Face Off Redemption tonight to see this season's eliminated contestants compete to win a spot on our next season of Face Off.
Interesting choices here form-wise, that I just don't understand.
I'm so embarrassed that that's on stage.
There's no doubt one of us is going home.
Some neat broad strokes happening.
I like the way they did this.
- This is clever.
- And it works.
I like there's a wood knot in the palm.
Oh, yeah, that's great.
That's really cool.
I love that.
I love it.
It's really cool up close.
Yeah, and the wetness of the tongue and the eyeball.
Yeah, it's really good.
- He's the saddest giant.
- He really is.
Like, he's encumbered by these other characters.
Let's see the back.
Please show me.
Oh, this head's good too.
- Wow, man.
- These are good.
Bryan, you gave some great advice to these guys the other day.
So how do you think they did? I'm incredibly impressed.
I'm-- actually, I'm absolutely blown away.
Great.
The judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Wayne and House, please step forward.
Guys, tell me about the concept.
Well, it's two heads, and we wanted the actor to be the puppeteer of the second head, as well as using the redwood tree as an inspiration.
Overall, I like this a lot.
I think that I'm struggling a bit with the proportions.
He's gotten so wide this way, that's it's managed to make him shorter.
Shorter, yes.
I love the color that you chose to paint him because it's not, like, a typical bark color.
He looks like a stone statue that has great animal qualities to it as well.
It's very successful.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
There's some really great sculpting going on, particularly in the body, with the bark.
I admire the fact that yours is the only one that the two heads can interact and have personality and be more than just a giant that happens to have two heads.
I thought it was a really awesome piece.
- I really liked it.
- Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Please step back.
Autumn and Anthony.
So tell me the story behind your giant.
He's kind of a backseat driver.
So the one in the back is the one whispering in his ear to control the beast.
From far away, I wasn't that impressed.
But when I got up close, I really liked this a lot.
How long did it take you to do the three-eye paint job? I'd probably say about five minutes apiece.
- Really? - Yeah.
- That's quite impressive.
- Thank you so much.
What sporting goods store did he get those gloves? No, but the overwhelming entirety of it obscures them.
I only noticed that upon close examination.
But great work, really awesome.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, guys.
Anthony, Autumn, please step back.
Alam and Eric Z.
Start by explaining your concept.
We took a folktale approach to it.
The idea is he has this axe, and he slays other giants, and he attached these two giants' heads to his feet.
They're forever tortured as they walk.
They complain, like, complaining, tired feet.
The head-on-feet thing is such an absolutely dreadful decision that I'm having a hard time even looking at anything else.
And it's disappointing.
It's too bad those heads weren't somewhere else, because from the ankles up, he's fabulous.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
It's hard to get up to looking at his makeup because the feet are so wretched.
They look too playful, so it kills it.
- Okay.
- Eric, Alam, please step back.
- Thank you, thanks.
- Thank you so much, buddy.
Kris and Eric F.
Well, this is certainly the most ambitious effort.
What's the whole concept? The little guy taking on the world, basically.
I think this would definitely be a makeup that my kids would like to see.
I really admire the fact that you've taken the tallest model of all the actors up there and yet made him into the smallest person.
- That was really clever.
- Thank you.
You guys should definitely be impressed with yourselves in terms of how much work you've pulled off.
I think it's the biggest makeup we've ever seen on this show.
- Yes! - That was one of our goals.
So-- Who came up with the idea to have this giant holding the actor? Eric masterminded the whole thing.
You not only pulled it off, but it's a great idea.
Thank you so much.
Means the world.
Eric, kris, thank you very much.
Please step back.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
You're awesome.
Success, man, success.
Meagan and Jenna, you're up.
Tell us about the concept.
What inspired this giant? The idea behind him was that Jack was just an ordinary guy, and this giant started to take over his body.
This was originally supposed to be up here.
- It was a cowl.
- Yeah, it was-- But it was a mess.
Who was responsible for what aspect of this? We both pretty much took the load I would say.
It was definitely a stressful grouping.
It was.
It became-- this breaks my heart to say this.
It became very evident that, with my hands like this, I can't sculpt the way I need to, the way I want to.
And I feel terrible about hindering someone else's performance because they're trying to make up for my lack of ability to do it.
You know, it's hard to critique because I don't wanna kick you while you're down.
I mean, there's not a lot of good.
It didn't go the way you wanted.
And that is the net result of what we get to look at.
There's a stunning lack of originality in this design.
Whatever it was that forced you to take the head off, it was a horrible decision.
Meagan, Jenna, please step back.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- You okay? - Mm-hmm.
Okay, the judges have heard what you have to say.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while they make their decisions.
All right, guys, so why don't we talk about the looks that you liked the most tonight? Why don't we start with Wayne and House? I like the idea that it was the one interactive giant, the two heads.
I think the sculpting on it was so beautiful, and the paint job was terrific.
I really like it a lot.
All right, let's move on to Anthony and Autumn.
The paint job was spectacular.
For the amount of time and the amount of sculpting that they did, my God, they did an amazing job.
It was an interesting reveal too, the fact that first you see a head there, and you're like, "what?" And then turns around-- suddenly, "oh!" And then faces us again and pulls back the outfit, and you can see more of the, you know, structure.
Yeah, that was amazing.
- The chest was beautiful.
- Yeah.
Let's move on to Kris and Eric F.
That silhouette, when it first came out and the lights went on, and you see this little, tiny person being held, such a great concept.
I think that was really a clever thing that they did.
It was a very clever way to get some fun and humor into a challenge that's very difficult to do that.
Let's move on to the looks you didn't like so much this week.
Let's start with Meagan and Jenna.
It was so bad.
It was inexcusable.
There was nothing on that makeup that was good.
There's so many problems right from the start with this makeup, it really didn't have a chance to succeed.
And I know that Jenna's hands are hurting, and that is very unfortunate.
All right, guys, let's move on to Alam and Eric Z.
It's so overly obvious how poor the concept was of having feet grab onto heads and walk around with them.
There was no point along the way that they went, "aah, this totally sucking.
Let's try something else.
" I would've taken the heads off, closed the eyes, strapped them to a chain to each one of my ankles, and pulled them around.
Yeah, that's a way to treat it.
- That would've been my remedy.
- Yeah.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? - Yep.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I think so.
Let's bring 'em back out.
Glenn, tell us about the top looks tonight.
Wayne and House, it was really cool how you brought tree bark into your design.
And the puppeteering aspect was also a really nice touch.
Anthony and Autumn, your sympathetic character was very successful, and we loved the paint job.
Kris and Eric F, it was a massive amount of work.
The profile was extremely interesting as well.
Okay, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is Okay, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is Kris and Eric F.
You guys took on so much this week, and you delivered some serious wow factor.
Congratulations.
- Thank you so much, guys.
- That's fantastic.
Eric F and Kris, great job, guys.
But we can only have one winner.
Glenn? The winner is - Eric F.
- Yeah! - Ahh.
- Whoo! Thank you.
Aww.
In the end, it came down to concept for us.
And as kris put it, that was all Eric.
To hear my name as the winner, it is amazing because I've worked so hard for this.
Thank you, guys.
- Eric! - Good job.
Eric F, congratulations.
You and Kris can head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
Wayne and House, Anthony and Autumn, you guys are also safe.
Please head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, guys.
Unfortunately, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be eliminated.
Please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Meagan and Jenna, this makeup was a problem from its inception.
And honestly, your technical and application issues just compounded everything.
Alam and Eric Z, there were some issues with the head in the feet.
It just felt like a cheat.
So who's going home tonight? The person leaving tonight is Jenna.
Unfortunately, there just wasn't anything about your work this week that's indicative of the fact that you're going to be able to continue getting better while you're here on the show.
Jenna, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
The rest of you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
Thank you, judges.
Jenna, we're so sorry that you've been struggling with these injuries.
And we really hope you have a speedy recovery, honey.
And please don't let this get you down.
I think this is the best thing, as much as it breaks my heart.
Jenna, it has truly been great having you here with us.
Please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you all very much.
- Good night, honey.
- Good night.
I'm going home, guys.
This has been the greatest experience of my life, and I'm just sorry that it has to end here.
I just wish I could've shown the world what I can really do.
If I could get my hands fixed and get back to where I was, I'd give anything for a second chance in this competition.
