Face Off (2011) s05e03 Episode Script
Gettin' Goosed
Previously onFace Off Alana's bride of Frankenstein brought her to victory.
What? That's awesome, dude.
Sam's sculpt fell short, and she was sent home.
Now 14 artists remain.
And tonight, they'll put a new spin on some classic tales.
The stakes are higher than ever this week.
- Oh, hell.
- Oh, this is not good.
But with an unexpected twist, the pressure is doubled.
Time, everyone! Awesome stuff, guys.
It doesn't seem to satisfy the equation there.
In the end, one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations, the all-new 2013 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Only one will win Face Off.
I'm really sorry you had to go through that last night.
I know.
You're still here.
And you could, you know, learn from that.
Ve did mention that I had to learn how to splatter and do other kinds of things with the airbrush because what I did was not the kind of paint job and the realism that they are expecting.
Yeah.
Being on the bottom was emotionally difficult for me.
But I'm going to take those criticisms and use them productively.
We walk into the lab today, and Glenn is standing with McKenzie.
So I'm excited to find out what the challenge is and for a chance to impress Glenn.
Hey, guys.
This week's foundation challenge is inspired by a highly acclaimed horror film.
Insidious.
Yeah! - Awesome.
- Oh, yeah.
I'm a hugeInsidiousfan.
I might have a little bit of an edge on this one.
The story centers on a young boy who has the gift of astral projection, which takes him into a spiritual realm inhabited by demons.
The terrifying sequel, Insidious Chapter 2, follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
Now that my heart's racing-- Okay, your foundation challenge is to create your own personal demon inspired by the world of Insidious Chapter 2.
Before we get started, I have a special message for you from the director of the Insidious films, James Wan.
Hi, everyone.
Today's winner will receive a copy of Insidious, out now on home video.
And you'll also win a flight out to Los Angeles with a friend to attend the red carpet premiere of Insidious Chapter 2.
Wow.
There's one detail that McKenzie didn't tell you.
In the climactic ending of the original film, the boy's father is shown to be possessed by a female demon.
So I want you to turn your male models into female demons.
Demon drag challenge, all right.
Okay, you have two hours to complete your looks.
Your time starts now.
This couldn't have been a better challenge for me.
I walk around battling my own demons every day.
The challenge is to take our male models and turn them into female demons based on Insidious 2.
And my concept is that this demon possesses me.
And it's constantly inputting this temptation of mortal sin.
Ready? A woman has a rounder face, while a man has more angles.
So I'm going to have to start adding roundness to his face, and the best way to do that is to make him into an old woman.
I want this demon to become something that scared me when I was a child.
I think horns would be appropriate, so I add horns along the jawbone.
I want to bring all of my fears into this Insidious Chapter 2 inspired demon.
So she's an old version of myself who continues to mock me.
_ I have this weird, reoccurring nightmare that my teeth are loose.
All right, so that's my personal demon, teeth falling out.
I choose not to use a prosthetic.
I'd rather spend my time on detail in the paint job.
Something that's always creeped me out is a creature without eyes, so I removed my demon's.
And so I take one of the female heads and vacuform it, then just apply this mask, which will give the male model a female form.
One of my nightmares involves this constantly fading character that goes from black to white.
So I'm gonna try to do that.
Time's up.
Everybody, brushes down.
- Hey, Alana.
- Hi, you guys.
Tell us about what you did today.
I have a lot of weird fears and insecurities.
And this is a demon that's just been hanging on my back.
I think that it's cartoony, and it doesn't say "demon".
You know, you've got two hours.
Instead of going heavily prosthetic, the two-tone graphic nature of this thing, I think, is a spot-on decision.
Well done.
Extremely complete image.
Everything goes together.
The wardrobe works with the colors.
Very cool.
Well done.
I was toying around with the idea of making horns extrude from the jaw line.
I do get where you were going with the chin, but I think you missed the mark.
I think you succeeded in taking a very masculine man and perhaps making him even more brutish.
An idea like this, the plastic mask with under paint, what a brilliant way to get that feminine aspect out of your way.
Well done, Roy.
Thank you.
I'm looking around at some of the other makeups, and lot of them are really impressive.
There's solid competition here.
I know that the challenges are gonna get harder.
So I got to bring my A game every single challenge because if I don't do my best, I'm going home.
So, Glenn, how did they do today? I think a few people found exactly what we were looking for.
Who were your favorites? Rick.
Really strong graphic nature to what you did.
And I love the fact that you really went in your own direction with it.
Thank you.
And, Roy, using the vacuform shell to obliterate the male and create that female look, very, very creepy.
Well done.
Thank you.
All right, Glenn, so who is the winner of today's Insidious Chapter 2 challenge? The winner of today's challenge is Roy.
Roy, congratulations.
You and a guest will be attending the red carpet premiere Insidious Chapter 2.
I'm really excited.
And I know that my wife's gonna be excited to come back out here and go to a red carpet event.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
All right, well, great job, everybody.
I will see you tomorrow for your next spotlight challenge.
You can pick me up that night, Roy.
I think his wife might want to go.
We're walking in this park, and we can see McKenzie standing in front of this huge carousel.
It's beautiful.
I love carousels.
Clearly, it's gonna be pretty fun.
Welcome to the Griffith Park merry-go-round.
Legend has it that Walt Disney would bring his daughters here, and it was during these rides that he started to dream the fantastical idea of Disneyland.
Oh.
Well, this week's spotlight challenge is inspired by other fantastic stories that have been taking children to whimsical places for generations.
You will create an original, whimsical character from modern times inspired by classic Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.
That's awesome.
I'm so excited.
I love Mother Goose.
Now you will be working together in teams of two.
But this time you're gonna be choosing your own teams.
So go ahead and select a teammate.
I got RJ.
It's nice to be loved.
Thank you so much, sir.
I've always wanted to work with RJ, ever since I saw him on season two.
I know his style, and I know we can make something really cool.
I chose Lyma 'cause I think she's extremely talented.
So its gonna be amazing to work with her.
So each of these props represents a different Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme.
Frank and Laura, you get to pick first.
- The spider.
- Okay.
- Going with the spider.
- Ah.
"Little Miss Muffet.
" - Alana and Laney.
- Five Toes.
"This Little Piggy Went To The Market.
" Adolfo and Lyma.
You want the egg? Yeah, I want the egg.
Humpty Dumpty.
RJ and Roy.
- "The Cat And The Fiddle.
" - Rick and Eric.
Go with the coin, whatever that is.
The Crooked Sixpence.
- Scott and Eddie.
- "The Man In The Moon.
" And last but not least, Tate and Miranda.
"Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater.
" Well, now that you all have your Nursery Rhymes, there is one last thing that I need to tell you before you start working on your designs.
The stakes are higher than ever this week.
Oh, hell, there is always something with McKenzie and these twists.
Coming up It's scaring me.
- This is not good.
- We need to open this now.
Otherwise, we're fucked.
Oh, no.
The mold is not opening.
I think you did an amazing job this week.
You missed the whimsical.
It just doesn't play well.
There's one last thing that I have to tell you before you start working on your designs.
This week is a double elimination, and two of you will be going home.
Already, on our third challenge, a double elim? That's, like, crazy.
Double eliminations are basically like double pressure.
All right, I'll leave you here to work on your designs.
When you're done, you can head back to the lab and get started on your creations.
Good luck, guys.
Yee-haw.
The musical cat, then where's the fiddle? The catinthe fiddle.
So our concept is to take the cat and have him wearing a fiddle that he can actually play.
Maybe from the bottom of the chin have some whiskers going down into the strings.
It could be.
The first thing I think of is a pig in a meat dress.
I'm not sticking to no little piggy going to the market.
We shouldn't go scary.
It has to say whimsical.
We can't make five separate pigs.
So we just decided to pick one of them from the poem.
This little piggy stays home.
The other little piggies are, like, her minions.
If she doesn't get what she wants, she'll eat the other pigs and wear them as accessories.
_ "There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile.
" Our crooked man, he's kind of twisted and mangled.
And that could definitely go off in a very dark direction.
But we're gonna take a very whimsical approach.
I think it's a really cool story.
"Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater had a wife and couldn't keep her.
He put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well.
" This is a woman who has been locked inside a pumpkin.
So if she's ever able to get out, I would assume that she would head straight to Peter and off him.
It's gonna be a revenge story.
And we're gonna fabricate this giant pumpkin.
- Yeah.
- It's gonna be pretty dope.
We're really excited about it.
All right, guys, let's get going back to the lab.
I'm excited for this challenge, and I'm ready to do this pig.
We get into the lab, and we have seven hours today.
You start sculpting, and I can start building the pumpkin.
Okay.
I start sculpting, and the fact that somebody as talented as Tate trusts me to block out these sculptures means a lot to me.
Adolfo and I want to make Humpty Dumpty into a female character and give it a Lady Gaga feel.
Lyma's sculpting the face, and I'm sculpting the cowl.
They need to really, really match, because it's double elimination, and we've both been in the bottom.
I need to be safe.
Our concept is to create the woman in the Moon who lives on the Moon and collects pieces from Apollo missions.
We really want to give it a modern take.
So we decide to make an asymmetrical character.
I just really want to impress the judges this week.
Yeah.
So our concept is from the spider's perspective.
Miss Muffet used to have a prince charming, but then an evil witch decides that she's going to curse the prince to look like a monster.
Laura is taking lead on the head.
And then I start making the mandibles to go in different places on the spider.
Hey, everybody.
Here for walkthrough.
Hi.
- Hello.
- We're back.
Let's see what you have.
Explain to us what you're doing here with-- Tell us about your face first.
The face was something that Rick actually drew out.
With the paint, start with a good flesh tone, and then highlight down your bone to make him pop out more.
Oh, okay.
How are you incorporating the whimsical? Our witch cursed the guy.
That's whimsical.
As far as whimsical goes, a lot of it's gonna depend on your painting.
Start lighter and go back into your darker part of your head and everything.
What's going on over here? We're gonna give her boobs.
What you've done here is human form, as opposed to pig.
So you think we should bring them to more of a point? - Yeah.
- That's interesting.
I love Mr.
Westmore.
I'm so thankful every time he steps into that shop, because it's always the most incredible advice anyone could ever ask for.
It's like the God of makeup handing you the book of rules.
- That's your sketch? - Go right ahead.
Yeah, let's see the sketch.
What part of this reads whimsical? I mean, 'cause right now it looks-- I gotta be honest.
It looks scary.
Yeah, you've done this almost, like, skeleton, horror-type of a mouth.
If you just fill her out more, your character would be more whimsical.
Cool.
Thank you, guys.
All right, everybody, we're heading out, - but it's looking great.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, guys.
- Bye-bye.
Bye, guys.
So this is not good.
Should we extend, like, a long line back? Mr.
Westmore gives us the advice that maybe if we rounded the face a little bit more, it would be more whimsical.
So I start adding little bits of clay right here.
And that is already helping, making her look more like she's smiling, rather than gaping.
_ Hey, everybody, that's time.
Whoo! At the end of the day, I'm starting to feel better about the sculpt.
I've taken Mr.
Westmore's advice and made some changes to the face.
I'm hoping that this all comes together.
It's day two of our Mother Goose challenge.
We have 9 1/2 hours.
I'm gonna go take a victory lap, because we already won this challenge.
Go, go, go, go.
I need to kick ass in this mold room today.
I need to get our hoof molded, our face molded.
I need to get our ears molded, as well as the creature's gigantic belly and teats.
So there's a lot of stuff to do today.
I have to mold Laura's cowl, the back, and then the chest.
I want to make sure that all that's done quickly so they'll be ready for foam latex.
I want to fabricate a fiddle out of L200 foam.
And the cool thing about this foam is that you can use a heat gun, and, as it cools off, it assumes the shape of whatever way you've held it.
There we go.
So, mold is ready, mold is clean, and I have this great idea.
How about we run the molds through poly foam, and then we also run it in foam latex? So that way we can have both options and see which one is gonna work better than the other one.
We can maybe make, like, a little fingernail flat rock or something like that.
Let's do that.
Instead of sculpting and molding arm and leg pieces for our moon character, I decided to use latex and foam.
So I take some spandex material and cut up little chunks of foam to replicate Moon rocks.
You pull, and I push.
It's time to open the mold.
_ We can't get the poly foam out.
_ _ _ _ _ I cannot believe Lyma just left.
There's no way to open this mold by myself.
If I don't have this mold ready, we're not gonna have a head.
_ So it's day two in the lab, and my partner just left me to open this mold by myself.
I don't have time to start from scratch.
On application day, there's just no time at all.
_ _ _ So Laura comes.
And thank God she's here with me.
_ _ _ _ _ I feel so relieved right now.
_ Where's Lyma? We have to clean this guy.
All right, you can do it? Yeah.
Yeah, but this is not going to work.
No, no, no, I don't care about that one.
I'm not really concerned about the poly foam piece.
I'm just concerned about cleaning the mold so I can be ready to run it in foam latex.
_ It's one hour.
I've decided to make my character a bacon bra to match her bacon bow.
So I'm "bacon" care of business in the red room.
_ _ Mm-hmm, just tinted.
_ We're ready to run this in foam latex.
There you go.
And I am just hoping that this piece is gonna come out amazing.
That's time, everyone! Whoo! I'm hoping application day is gonna run smooth, and I am just really excited that this day is done.
Go, go, go! Good luck, everyone.
- Do you see our cowl? - It looks really good.
Yay! Cool.
Well, I'll start cutting.
So it's application day.
We have four hours in the lab.
And we have a back.
We have a chest.
We have a face.
We have a cowl.
We have four legs.
We have two wrists.
This is gonna go crazy.
Okay.
The cowl looks pretty good.
However, there's a lot of work ahead.
- It doesn't look that bad.
- No.
We're gonna to start to fabricate all the arm pieces and everything that needs to be glued on.
Yay! Our models arrive.
And the first thing that we have to do is make sure that the bodysuit fits properly.
It's not too uncomfortable? Eddie made several other extra pieces that all tie together.
So he's working on the rest of the body while I'm gluing on the head and the face.
You, ma'am, are an absolute wonder.
This little piggy looks fabulous! - That all right? - Sweet! All right, stand up.
Let me put this on you and see how this fits.
Cool, it fits you.
- Yeah.
- I'm excited.
Who would've thought? I am really pleased with the way this build has turned out.
I think Roy and I are on the right track, and I'm really excited to show this to the judges and see what they think.
This is gonna be glued here, so whenever you're done, you just pull that arm out, and you'll have your arm free the whole day.
Awesome.
The makeup Eric and I are working on is different than the rest of the group.
I think both Eric and I are a little bit concerned that we might not exactly hit the whimsical on this challenge.
And we'll work on the style.
But it shouldn't be monsterly.
- Yeah.
- That's really about it.
Close your eyes.
As I'm making the giant pumpkin, I'm starting to notice that it's looking boxy.
The last thing I want to do is detract from this makeup.
_ I decide it's not worth it.
I'm just gonna drop it and start helping paint the head.
Give me what color you want, and I'll go ahead and start basing it out.
Most of my day is finishing up these legs.
And they're just so big.
I'm a little bit worried.
That's for sure.
The whimsical thing is gonna end up being a problem.
We'll see what the judges have to say.
I didn't know if you wanted to do that that color or not.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it now.
We put some pink in the ears.
It's a very cartoonish challenge.
We wanted to really accentuate the cartoon feel of it.
I mean, he's wearing a giant violin.
This is not gonna be a realistic cat.
God, you're so cute.
I can't even handle it.
What do you think about this coming out of her dress from behind? Tate and I are just really bouncing back and forth ideas past each other with everything.
I like that, but pull the whole thing up higher.
Oh, okay.
And I think it's looking really great.
If you start moving around, you'll be a scrambled egg.
That's awesome.
Coming with legs.
Oh, yeah.
You're amazing.
All right, everybody, that's time.
Let's go.
- Whoo! - Oh, man.
- You doing okay? - Yeah.
We've gotten great feedback from everybody about how our sculpture looks like a crooked guy.
But is it fun? No.
I'm not sure that what we've accomplished is what the judges are looking for for this challenge.
But it's up to the judges at this point.
Coming up I'll try to make it work.
Did hell freeze over? There's some totally arbitrary surfacing.
- Awesome stuff, guys.
- It doesn't read whimsical.
We get to last looks.
We have one hour left.
We still have a lot of painting to do.
We also need to apply a whole bunch of little pieces.
I'll try to make it work.
I do the beauty makeup around the eyes and around the mouth.
And Alana's spackling some colors.
We're looking so good.
Time is ticking, and Rick is trying to wrangle together the wardrobe.
We have this coat on our character, but we don't want it to cover up all the work we did.
That is a very awkward-fitting coat.
_ Did hell freeze over? Because we're finished before they call time.
That's time! Time's up, everybody.
We did it.
I think there's a lot of really great makeups in the room, but it's really stressful for everybody because there's two people going home.
And none of us ever know what the judges are gonna like or not like.
Welcome to theFace Off reveal stage.
Tonight two of you will be eliminated.
But first, let's say hello to our judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
Hi, everyone.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Good evening.
- Hey, Ve.
- Hi, Ve.
Creature and concept designer Neville Page.
Hello.
Hey, Neville.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original, whimsical character inspired by a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme.
So let's take a look.
She looks like a supermodel in a runway show, just with an egg on her head.
She is rocking out the snobby swine.
And it looks awesome.
The only time inFace Offhistory where an actor could get away with playing with himself on stage.
He's literally playing the strings with his tail bow.
Turned out exactly the way we drew him.
Eric and I are happy with our makeup.
Whimsical or not, we're proud of what we've done.
I'm loving my spider.
He's evoking a sense of longing.
I think he's adorable.
This is my greatest moment onFace Off.
I've never felt so much pride.
It is what we wanted to make.
It looks cool.
Everything from the tiny, little craters on her face and the metallics on her costume.
We're really pleased.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look? It's a pretty well-balanced paint job.
There's a good beauty makeup on top of it.
- Where is the edge? - A pretty good blend, though.
I don't know.
The judges come close, and they start picking at it and checking the eggshells and all that, and I'm just praying that those things stay on.
That cracks me up.
It's so cool.
Hold me.
Around the eyes is really good.
- It is.
- Yeah.
It looks really good.
Do you have any singles? Do you have any singles.
There's some beautiful forms happening with the ears flowing out of the head.
This is sort of like a cartoon.
Yeah.
Can you just turn? I'm looking at this arm.
And there's totally arbitrary surfacing that I just don't understand.
The shapes of the bones are not even wrong in a cartoony way.
- Yeah.
- They're just completely wrong.
Our character is definitely the least whimsical.
But there's a small chance they'll love it.
I just want to survive.
We want to know what you think of tonight's transformations.
So tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff.
- The scapula comes down.
- That bothers me as well.
The shapes of the bones, they're not even wrong in a cartoony way.
- Yeah.
- They're just completely wrong.
I'm very, very nervous.
This is a double elimination this week and that's what got me eliminated on season four, and I don't want to go home.
_ _ He's got to like that sculpture.
_ _ _ I think they're smiling.
Nice paint job, guys.
There are a ton of awesome sculptural decisions in that head.
- Yeah.
- Oh, Jesus, yeah.
_ And let's see the other side.
The stuff with the pumpkin seeds hanging off of it's great.
Hey.
She's the girl in the Moon.
Let's have you open your mouth.
Oh, this is great.
Look, she can actually move her face really well.
My only complaint is that it doesn't quite look like the Moon's surface.
I agree.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations.
Roy, RJ Eddie, and Scott Congratulations, you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
God, that makes me so nervous.
And the rest of you were the best and the worst of the week.
The judges will now speak with each of you to lean more about your work.
Alana and Laney, you're up first.
Start telling me about this work.
Our poem was The Five Pigs.
Alana did the face, and I did the chest.
Alana made the bow out of silicone.
- Silicone.
- And the rest is foam latex.
The whimsy is very apparent, and it's a picture of porcine perfection.
- Thank you.
- The chest and face managed to look like they were done by the same person.
Awesome stuff, guys.
She's very sweet, I got to say.
It's very clever with her belly.
And we even addressed the fact that she has hooves.
Great choice of wardrobe.
And her chest gives a whole new meaning to pulled pork.
Oh, yes.
This little piggy sizzles.
But I think the white wig confused me a touch.
It felt a little poodle-like.
But you did a good job maintaining her swine-like anatomy.
She is a beaut.
Thank you so much, guys.
- Thank you.
- You can step down.
Frank and Laura, you're next.
So tell us about your creation.
We had "Little Miss Muffet.
" We decided to give the spider his story from his point of view.
I would have liked to have seen something that brought Miss Muffet into this and not just a spider by itself.
The fact that your whimsy has to do with your spider coloration I think was a poor choice.
It doesn't read whimsical.
It reads "A man and a spider put together.
" I just don't think it suits the challenge.
I think you got lost on trying to blow us away with a really big makeup this week and missed the fantastical and the whimsical.
Also, the paint needs so much more detail, so much more time.
It just doesn't play well.
Thank you.
If you'd please step back.
Thanks, buddy.
Lyma and Adolfo.
Tell us what the concept is behind the story.
She's kind of, like, a reincarnation of Humpty Dumpty.
A Lady Gaga reincarnation.
Like a female and stronger version of Humpty.
Who did what? I sculpted the cowl, the chest piece, and I did the arm pieces, and I painted the base of the body.
And Lyma sculpted the face, did all the plastic part of it, and she did all the airbrush work.
This is a beautiful rendition of Humpty Dumpty.
I like that you got beauty makeup into the makeup as well.
I'm really pleased with what you've done.
Thank you very much.
I'm very pleased with this.
It's very stylized.
I will say, Lyma, do not just keep holding stencils up and giving me the same pattern all over the body.
Other than that, I feel like we could see this in a film right now.
Well done.
Thank you so much.
If you'd please step back.
Rick and Eric, please come forward.
All right, guys, go ahead and tell me about your design ideas.
Well, we drew the crooked sixpence.
It describes the crooked man who walked a crooked mile.
He was a handsome man, and as he started to deform, he became rejected by society.
Rick sculpted the back and chest.
He also blocked out this arm and this arm piece.
I sculpted the face entirely.
My big problem with it is the idea.
It's neither completely real or completely fantastical.
- Right.
- Also, the fact that his arm is sort of just jammed on the back of him, very abrupt.
It doesn't look like his arm to me.
It looks like an extra arm.
That's bad.
You know, when I looked at this guy, I didn't see a crooked man.
I saw a twisted man.
If you would've done him really angular crooked, then that would've been whimsical.
I just think you guys missed the mark on this totally.
Right.
Thank you.
You can step down.
Thanks, boy.
Tate and Miranda, please step forward.
Okay, tell us about your Nursery Rhyme and who was responsible for which parts of your character, please.
We had "Peter, Peter, the pumpkin eater".
Tate sketched out the design of the face first, and I blocked out the cowl and the face and did a lot of the sculpting.
Tate did the hands and the body, and I did the head.
I think you knocked it out of the park.
This is really a fantastic character.
Yay.
I mean, every little detail on this reads whimsy and fantastical.
And I think you did a great job.
The decision-making in the sculpture on the face, where the smile happens through wrinkle texture, and it's not carved out, it looks organic.
It looks like a pumpkin.
It's really impressive, guys.
Well done.
Thank you so much.
If you'd please step back.
Thank you, guys.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while the judges make their decisions.
All right, judges, so why don't we start with some of your favorite looks tonight? How about Alana and Laney's character? This definitely was high on the whimsy mark for me.
Mm-hmm.
If it was just a pig makeup, it wouldn't have been whimsical.
It's the wig and the bow and Alana's sense of humor coming through.
And from a makeup standpoint, it was some of the best work that I've seen Alana do.
Let's talk about Adolfo and Lyma's character.
I loved that makeup.
I loved the whole head treatment with the cracked egg - Yeah.
- and all the different layers.
I liked that they added the couture element, that they made it a little runway.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
That was kind of cool.
Let's move on to Tate and Miranda's character.
The decisions in the sculpting and the paint job are so intelligent.
Miranda's sculpting's beautiful.
Beautifully painted.
A head-to-toe complete makeup.
The textures, everything was weathered to the same level.
Which is extremely impressive.
All right, so why don't we talk about the makeups that you didn't like as much? Let's start with Frank and Laura.
I felt that the fact that it was just a "spider man" wasn't very inventive.
And I think they're definitely much more creative than that.
Why didn't they do something where part of it was Miss Muffet and part of it was the spider and make it real whimsical and fairytale-like? Okay, let's move on to Rick and Eric.
It wasn't whimsical.
It was freaky and scary.
The fact that the arm was just jammed on the back, it killed me.
And when you get up into the face area, you're struggling with paint and sculpture.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? - Yeah.
- Yes, we have.
Let's bring them back out.
So, Glenn, tell us about the top teams.
Alana and Laney, your pig was a very impressive character, head to toe.
We really appreciate the amount of thought and work that went into this makeup.
Tate and Miranda, this was a killer design and a beautifully executed makeup.
We absolutely loved the sculpture, the paint, and the overall harmony of the piece.
Lyma and Adolfo, tonight was a huge step forward for both of you, and we can easily imagine your egg creation in a feature film.
Okay, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is Okay, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is Tate and Miranda.
Yeah, girl.
Your pumpkin was one of the best makeups we've ever seen on the show, truly a great collaboration.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Tate and Miranda, great job.
But as you know, we can only have one winner.
Glenn? Our winner tonight is Miranda.
- Yeah.
- Get it, girl.
It's a great makeup, and though Tate's design was very strong, we absolutely loved the sculpt and paint you applied.
So great job.
Well done.
- Thank you.
- Thank you guys so much.
It was such a team effort.
But it feels great to win, and I feel so honored.
Tate and Miranda, congratulations.
You, Alana, Laney, Adolfo, Lyma, you're all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
Unfortunately, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week, and two of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Rick and Eric, your character was anatomically incorrect and did not fulfill the whimsical aspect of this challenge.
Frank and Laura, your spider creature lacked detail in its paint, and your concept also failed to satisfy the criteria of this challenge.
So who is the first person going home tonight? The first person going home tonight is Rick.
We thought that you were missing some basic anatomy in your work tonight, and we really questioned the design choices that you made.
Rick, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
It's really been great having you here with us.
Thank you.
I saw some really cool stuff from you.
Hold your head high, and good luck in the future.
Thank you, sir.
Rick, if you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
I'm not ready to go home, but there's no regrets.
Being a part of this competition has been a dream come true.
It's really pushed me as an artist.
And I'll take all those things home with me as well as the relationships that I've formed.
Glenn, who is the second person leaving us tonight? The second person going home tonight is Eric.
We felt that your facial sculpture simply did not embrace the crooked nature of our challenge tonight.
It just wasn't taken far enough.
Thank you guys so much for this opportunity.
Eric, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means, Frank, Laura, you are safe this week.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room.
Eric, this was a really tough week.
There were so many great makeups.
And you should be proud of everything that you've done here with us.
Thank you very much, Ve.
Eric, it's really been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
Good luck, Eric.
I'm going home now, but there's a lot to be proud of.
This has all very much been a way to push myself.
- I'm going home, guys.
- No! I'm glad I came back.
I was very blessed to have been a part of Face Off.
I have this extended family of artists because of it.
- Bring it in, brother.
- Hey, buddy.
We're going together, man.
I'm very proud of what I've been able to accomplish.
I can only benefit from having been here.
There is a whole career out there for me.
And I know that I have a lot to offer this industry.
I'm definitely not giving up.
What? That's awesome, dude.
Sam's sculpt fell short, and she was sent home.
Now 14 artists remain.
And tonight, they'll put a new spin on some classic tales.
The stakes are higher than ever this week.
- Oh, hell.
- Oh, this is not good.
But with an unexpected twist, the pressure is doubled.
Time, everyone! Awesome stuff, guys.
It doesn't seem to satisfy the equation there.
In the end, one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations, the all-new 2013 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Only one will win Face Off.
I'm really sorry you had to go through that last night.
I know.
You're still here.
And you could, you know, learn from that.
Ve did mention that I had to learn how to splatter and do other kinds of things with the airbrush because what I did was not the kind of paint job and the realism that they are expecting.
Yeah.
Being on the bottom was emotionally difficult for me.
But I'm going to take those criticisms and use them productively.
We walk into the lab today, and Glenn is standing with McKenzie.
So I'm excited to find out what the challenge is and for a chance to impress Glenn.
Hey, guys.
This week's foundation challenge is inspired by a highly acclaimed horror film.
Insidious.
Yeah! - Awesome.
- Oh, yeah.
I'm a hugeInsidiousfan.
I might have a little bit of an edge on this one.
The story centers on a young boy who has the gift of astral projection, which takes him into a spiritual realm inhabited by demons.
The terrifying sequel, Insidious Chapter 2, follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
Now that my heart's racing-- Okay, your foundation challenge is to create your own personal demon inspired by the world of Insidious Chapter 2.
Before we get started, I have a special message for you from the director of the Insidious films, James Wan.
Hi, everyone.
Today's winner will receive a copy of Insidious, out now on home video.
And you'll also win a flight out to Los Angeles with a friend to attend the red carpet premiere of Insidious Chapter 2.
Wow.
There's one detail that McKenzie didn't tell you.
In the climactic ending of the original film, the boy's father is shown to be possessed by a female demon.
So I want you to turn your male models into female demons.
Demon drag challenge, all right.
Okay, you have two hours to complete your looks.
Your time starts now.
This couldn't have been a better challenge for me.
I walk around battling my own demons every day.
The challenge is to take our male models and turn them into female demons based on Insidious 2.
And my concept is that this demon possesses me.
And it's constantly inputting this temptation of mortal sin.
Ready? A woman has a rounder face, while a man has more angles.
So I'm going to have to start adding roundness to his face, and the best way to do that is to make him into an old woman.
I want this demon to become something that scared me when I was a child.
I think horns would be appropriate, so I add horns along the jawbone.
I want to bring all of my fears into this Insidious Chapter 2 inspired demon.
So she's an old version of myself who continues to mock me.
_ I have this weird, reoccurring nightmare that my teeth are loose.
All right, so that's my personal demon, teeth falling out.
I choose not to use a prosthetic.
I'd rather spend my time on detail in the paint job.
Something that's always creeped me out is a creature without eyes, so I removed my demon's.
And so I take one of the female heads and vacuform it, then just apply this mask, which will give the male model a female form.
One of my nightmares involves this constantly fading character that goes from black to white.
So I'm gonna try to do that.
Time's up.
Everybody, brushes down.
- Hey, Alana.
- Hi, you guys.
Tell us about what you did today.
I have a lot of weird fears and insecurities.
And this is a demon that's just been hanging on my back.
I think that it's cartoony, and it doesn't say "demon".
You know, you've got two hours.
Instead of going heavily prosthetic, the two-tone graphic nature of this thing, I think, is a spot-on decision.
Well done.
Extremely complete image.
Everything goes together.
The wardrobe works with the colors.
Very cool.
Well done.
I was toying around with the idea of making horns extrude from the jaw line.
I do get where you were going with the chin, but I think you missed the mark.
I think you succeeded in taking a very masculine man and perhaps making him even more brutish.
An idea like this, the plastic mask with under paint, what a brilliant way to get that feminine aspect out of your way.
Well done, Roy.
Thank you.
I'm looking around at some of the other makeups, and lot of them are really impressive.
There's solid competition here.
I know that the challenges are gonna get harder.
So I got to bring my A game every single challenge because if I don't do my best, I'm going home.
So, Glenn, how did they do today? I think a few people found exactly what we were looking for.
Who were your favorites? Rick.
Really strong graphic nature to what you did.
And I love the fact that you really went in your own direction with it.
Thank you.
And, Roy, using the vacuform shell to obliterate the male and create that female look, very, very creepy.
Well done.
Thank you.
All right, Glenn, so who is the winner of today's Insidious Chapter 2 challenge? The winner of today's challenge is Roy.
Roy, congratulations.
You and a guest will be attending the red carpet premiere Insidious Chapter 2.
I'm really excited.
And I know that my wife's gonna be excited to come back out here and go to a red carpet event.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
All right, well, great job, everybody.
I will see you tomorrow for your next spotlight challenge.
You can pick me up that night, Roy.
I think his wife might want to go.
We're walking in this park, and we can see McKenzie standing in front of this huge carousel.
It's beautiful.
I love carousels.
Clearly, it's gonna be pretty fun.
Welcome to the Griffith Park merry-go-round.
Legend has it that Walt Disney would bring his daughters here, and it was during these rides that he started to dream the fantastical idea of Disneyland.
Oh.
Well, this week's spotlight challenge is inspired by other fantastic stories that have been taking children to whimsical places for generations.
You will create an original, whimsical character from modern times inspired by classic Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.
That's awesome.
I'm so excited.
I love Mother Goose.
Now you will be working together in teams of two.
But this time you're gonna be choosing your own teams.
So go ahead and select a teammate.
I got RJ.
It's nice to be loved.
Thank you so much, sir.
I've always wanted to work with RJ, ever since I saw him on season two.
I know his style, and I know we can make something really cool.
I chose Lyma 'cause I think she's extremely talented.
So its gonna be amazing to work with her.
So each of these props represents a different Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme.
Frank and Laura, you get to pick first.
- The spider.
- Okay.
- Going with the spider.
- Ah.
"Little Miss Muffet.
" - Alana and Laney.
- Five Toes.
"This Little Piggy Went To The Market.
" Adolfo and Lyma.
You want the egg? Yeah, I want the egg.
Humpty Dumpty.
RJ and Roy.
- "The Cat And The Fiddle.
" - Rick and Eric.
Go with the coin, whatever that is.
The Crooked Sixpence.
- Scott and Eddie.
- "The Man In The Moon.
" And last but not least, Tate and Miranda.
"Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater.
" Well, now that you all have your Nursery Rhymes, there is one last thing that I need to tell you before you start working on your designs.
The stakes are higher than ever this week.
Oh, hell, there is always something with McKenzie and these twists.
Coming up It's scaring me.
- This is not good.
- We need to open this now.
Otherwise, we're fucked.
Oh, no.
The mold is not opening.
I think you did an amazing job this week.
You missed the whimsical.
It just doesn't play well.
There's one last thing that I have to tell you before you start working on your designs.
This week is a double elimination, and two of you will be going home.
Already, on our third challenge, a double elim? That's, like, crazy.
Double eliminations are basically like double pressure.
All right, I'll leave you here to work on your designs.
When you're done, you can head back to the lab and get started on your creations.
Good luck, guys.
Yee-haw.
The musical cat, then where's the fiddle? The catinthe fiddle.
So our concept is to take the cat and have him wearing a fiddle that he can actually play.
Maybe from the bottom of the chin have some whiskers going down into the strings.
It could be.
The first thing I think of is a pig in a meat dress.
I'm not sticking to no little piggy going to the market.
We shouldn't go scary.
It has to say whimsical.
We can't make five separate pigs.
So we just decided to pick one of them from the poem.
This little piggy stays home.
The other little piggies are, like, her minions.
If she doesn't get what she wants, she'll eat the other pigs and wear them as accessories.
_ "There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile.
" Our crooked man, he's kind of twisted and mangled.
And that could definitely go off in a very dark direction.
But we're gonna take a very whimsical approach.
I think it's a really cool story.
"Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater had a wife and couldn't keep her.
He put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well.
" This is a woman who has been locked inside a pumpkin.
So if she's ever able to get out, I would assume that she would head straight to Peter and off him.
It's gonna be a revenge story.
And we're gonna fabricate this giant pumpkin.
- Yeah.
- It's gonna be pretty dope.
We're really excited about it.
All right, guys, let's get going back to the lab.
I'm excited for this challenge, and I'm ready to do this pig.
We get into the lab, and we have seven hours today.
You start sculpting, and I can start building the pumpkin.
Okay.
I start sculpting, and the fact that somebody as talented as Tate trusts me to block out these sculptures means a lot to me.
Adolfo and I want to make Humpty Dumpty into a female character and give it a Lady Gaga feel.
Lyma's sculpting the face, and I'm sculpting the cowl.
They need to really, really match, because it's double elimination, and we've both been in the bottom.
I need to be safe.
Our concept is to create the woman in the Moon who lives on the Moon and collects pieces from Apollo missions.
We really want to give it a modern take.
So we decide to make an asymmetrical character.
I just really want to impress the judges this week.
Yeah.
So our concept is from the spider's perspective.
Miss Muffet used to have a prince charming, but then an evil witch decides that she's going to curse the prince to look like a monster.
Laura is taking lead on the head.
And then I start making the mandibles to go in different places on the spider.
Hey, everybody.
Here for walkthrough.
Hi.
- Hello.
- We're back.
Let's see what you have.
Explain to us what you're doing here with-- Tell us about your face first.
The face was something that Rick actually drew out.
With the paint, start with a good flesh tone, and then highlight down your bone to make him pop out more.
Oh, okay.
How are you incorporating the whimsical? Our witch cursed the guy.
That's whimsical.
As far as whimsical goes, a lot of it's gonna depend on your painting.
Start lighter and go back into your darker part of your head and everything.
What's going on over here? We're gonna give her boobs.
What you've done here is human form, as opposed to pig.
So you think we should bring them to more of a point? - Yeah.
- That's interesting.
I love Mr.
Westmore.
I'm so thankful every time he steps into that shop, because it's always the most incredible advice anyone could ever ask for.
It's like the God of makeup handing you the book of rules.
- That's your sketch? - Go right ahead.
Yeah, let's see the sketch.
What part of this reads whimsical? I mean, 'cause right now it looks-- I gotta be honest.
It looks scary.
Yeah, you've done this almost, like, skeleton, horror-type of a mouth.
If you just fill her out more, your character would be more whimsical.
Cool.
Thank you, guys.
All right, everybody, we're heading out, - but it's looking great.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, guys.
- Bye-bye.
Bye, guys.
So this is not good.
Should we extend, like, a long line back? Mr.
Westmore gives us the advice that maybe if we rounded the face a little bit more, it would be more whimsical.
So I start adding little bits of clay right here.
And that is already helping, making her look more like she's smiling, rather than gaping.
_ Hey, everybody, that's time.
Whoo! At the end of the day, I'm starting to feel better about the sculpt.
I've taken Mr.
Westmore's advice and made some changes to the face.
I'm hoping that this all comes together.
It's day two of our Mother Goose challenge.
We have 9 1/2 hours.
I'm gonna go take a victory lap, because we already won this challenge.
Go, go, go, go.
I need to kick ass in this mold room today.
I need to get our hoof molded, our face molded.
I need to get our ears molded, as well as the creature's gigantic belly and teats.
So there's a lot of stuff to do today.
I have to mold Laura's cowl, the back, and then the chest.
I want to make sure that all that's done quickly so they'll be ready for foam latex.
I want to fabricate a fiddle out of L200 foam.
And the cool thing about this foam is that you can use a heat gun, and, as it cools off, it assumes the shape of whatever way you've held it.
There we go.
So, mold is ready, mold is clean, and I have this great idea.
How about we run the molds through poly foam, and then we also run it in foam latex? So that way we can have both options and see which one is gonna work better than the other one.
We can maybe make, like, a little fingernail flat rock or something like that.
Let's do that.
Instead of sculpting and molding arm and leg pieces for our moon character, I decided to use latex and foam.
So I take some spandex material and cut up little chunks of foam to replicate Moon rocks.
You pull, and I push.
It's time to open the mold.
_ We can't get the poly foam out.
_ _ _ _ _ I cannot believe Lyma just left.
There's no way to open this mold by myself.
If I don't have this mold ready, we're not gonna have a head.
_ So it's day two in the lab, and my partner just left me to open this mold by myself.
I don't have time to start from scratch.
On application day, there's just no time at all.
_ _ _ So Laura comes.
And thank God she's here with me.
_ _ _ _ _ I feel so relieved right now.
_ Where's Lyma? We have to clean this guy.
All right, you can do it? Yeah.
Yeah, but this is not going to work.
No, no, no, I don't care about that one.
I'm not really concerned about the poly foam piece.
I'm just concerned about cleaning the mold so I can be ready to run it in foam latex.
_ It's one hour.
I've decided to make my character a bacon bra to match her bacon bow.
So I'm "bacon" care of business in the red room.
_ _ Mm-hmm, just tinted.
_ We're ready to run this in foam latex.
There you go.
And I am just hoping that this piece is gonna come out amazing.
That's time, everyone! Whoo! I'm hoping application day is gonna run smooth, and I am just really excited that this day is done.
Go, go, go! Good luck, everyone.
- Do you see our cowl? - It looks really good.
Yay! Cool.
Well, I'll start cutting.
So it's application day.
We have four hours in the lab.
And we have a back.
We have a chest.
We have a face.
We have a cowl.
We have four legs.
We have two wrists.
This is gonna go crazy.
Okay.
The cowl looks pretty good.
However, there's a lot of work ahead.
- It doesn't look that bad.
- No.
We're gonna to start to fabricate all the arm pieces and everything that needs to be glued on.
Yay! Our models arrive.
And the first thing that we have to do is make sure that the bodysuit fits properly.
It's not too uncomfortable? Eddie made several other extra pieces that all tie together.
So he's working on the rest of the body while I'm gluing on the head and the face.
You, ma'am, are an absolute wonder.
This little piggy looks fabulous! - That all right? - Sweet! All right, stand up.
Let me put this on you and see how this fits.
Cool, it fits you.
- Yeah.
- I'm excited.
Who would've thought? I am really pleased with the way this build has turned out.
I think Roy and I are on the right track, and I'm really excited to show this to the judges and see what they think.
This is gonna be glued here, so whenever you're done, you just pull that arm out, and you'll have your arm free the whole day.
Awesome.
The makeup Eric and I are working on is different than the rest of the group.
I think both Eric and I are a little bit concerned that we might not exactly hit the whimsical on this challenge.
And we'll work on the style.
But it shouldn't be monsterly.
- Yeah.
- That's really about it.
Close your eyes.
As I'm making the giant pumpkin, I'm starting to notice that it's looking boxy.
The last thing I want to do is detract from this makeup.
_ I decide it's not worth it.
I'm just gonna drop it and start helping paint the head.
Give me what color you want, and I'll go ahead and start basing it out.
Most of my day is finishing up these legs.
And they're just so big.
I'm a little bit worried.
That's for sure.
The whimsical thing is gonna end up being a problem.
We'll see what the judges have to say.
I didn't know if you wanted to do that that color or not.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it now.
We put some pink in the ears.
It's a very cartoonish challenge.
We wanted to really accentuate the cartoon feel of it.
I mean, he's wearing a giant violin.
This is not gonna be a realistic cat.
God, you're so cute.
I can't even handle it.
What do you think about this coming out of her dress from behind? Tate and I are just really bouncing back and forth ideas past each other with everything.
I like that, but pull the whole thing up higher.
Oh, okay.
And I think it's looking really great.
If you start moving around, you'll be a scrambled egg.
That's awesome.
Coming with legs.
Oh, yeah.
You're amazing.
All right, everybody, that's time.
Let's go.
- Whoo! - Oh, man.
- You doing okay? - Yeah.
We've gotten great feedback from everybody about how our sculpture looks like a crooked guy.
But is it fun? No.
I'm not sure that what we've accomplished is what the judges are looking for for this challenge.
But it's up to the judges at this point.
Coming up I'll try to make it work.
Did hell freeze over? There's some totally arbitrary surfacing.
- Awesome stuff, guys.
- It doesn't read whimsical.
We get to last looks.
We have one hour left.
We still have a lot of painting to do.
We also need to apply a whole bunch of little pieces.
I'll try to make it work.
I do the beauty makeup around the eyes and around the mouth.
And Alana's spackling some colors.
We're looking so good.
Time is ticking, and Rick is trying to wrangle together the wardrobe.
We have this coat on our character, but we don't want it to cover up all the work we did.
That is a very awkward-fitting coat.
_ Did hell freeze over? Because we're finished before they call time.
That's time! Time's up, everybody.
We did it.
I think there's a lot of really great makeups in the room, but it's really stressful for everybody because there's two people going home.
And none of us ever know what the judges are gonna like or not like.
Welcome to theFace Off reveal stage.
Tonight two of you will be eliminated.
But first, let's say hello to our judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
Hi, everyone.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Good evening.
- Hey, Ve.
- Hi, Ve.
Creature and concept designer Neville Page.
Hello.
Hey, Neville.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original, whimsical character inspired by a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme.
So let's take a look.
She looks like a supermodel in a runway show, just with an egg on her head.
She is rocking out the snobby swine.
And it looks awesome.
The only time inFace Offhistory where an actor could get away with playing with himself on stage.
He's literally playing the strings with his tail bow.
Turned out exactly the way we drew him.
Eric and I are happy with our makeup.
Whimsical or not, we're proud of what we've done.
I'm loving my spider.
He's evoking a sense of longing.
I think he's adorable.
This is my greatest moment onFace Off.
I've never felt so much pride.
It is what we wanted to make.
It looks cool.
Everything from the tiny, little craters on her face and the metallics on her costume.
We're really pleased.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look? It's a pretty well-balanced paint job.
There's a good beauty makeup on top of it.
- Where is the edge? - A pretty good blend, though.
I don't know.
The judges come close, and they start picking at it and checking the eggshells and all that, and I'm just praying that those things stay on.
That cracks me up.
It's so cool.
Hold me.
Around the eyes is really good.
- It is.
- Yeah.
It looks really good.
Do you have any singles? Do you have any singles.
There's some beautiful forms happening with the ears flowing out of the head.
This is sort of like a cartoon.
Yeah.
Can you just turn? I'm looking at this arm.
And there's totally arbitrary surfacing that I just don't understand.
The shapes of the bones are not even wrong in a cartoony way.
- Yeah.
- They're just completely wrong.
Our character is definitely the least whimsical.
But there's a small chance they'll love it.
I just want to survive.
We want to know what you think of tonight's transformations.
So tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff.
- The scapula comes down.
- That bothers me as well.
The shapes of the bones, they're not even wrong in a cartoony way.
- Yeah.
- They're just completely wrong.
I'm very, very nervous.
This is a double elimination this week and that's what got me eliminated on season four, and I don't want to go home.
_ _ He's got to like that sculpture.
_ _ _ I think they're smiling.
Nice paint job, guys.
There are a ton of awesome sculptural decisions in that head.
- Yeah.
- Oh, Jesus, yeah.
_ And let's see the other side.
The stuff with the pumpkin seeds hanging off of it's great.
Hey.
She's the girl in the Moon.
Let's have you open your mouth.
Oh, this is great.
Look, she can actually move her face really well.
My only complaint is that it doesn't quite look like the Moon's surface.
I agree.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations.
Roy, RJ Eddie, and Scott Congratulations, you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
God, that makes me so nervous.
And the rest of you were the best and the worst of the week.
The judges will now speak with each of you to lean more about your work.
Alana and Laney, you're up first.
Start telling me about this work.
Our poem was The Five Pigs.
Alana did the face, and I did the chest.
Alana made the bow out of silicone.
- Silicone.
- And the rest is foam latex.
The whimsy is very apparent, and it's a picture of porcine perfection.
- Thank you.
- The chest and face managed to look like they were done by the same person.
Awesome stuff, guys.
She's very sweet, I got to say.
It's very clever with her belly.
And we even addressed the fact that she has hooves.
Great choice of wardrobe.
And her chest gives a whole new meaning to pulled pork.
Oh, yes.
This little piggy sizzles.
But I think the white wig confused me a touch.
It felt a little poodle-like.
But you did a good job maintaining her swine-like anatomy.
She is a beaut.
Thank you so much, guys.
- Thank you.
- You can step down.
Frank and Laura, you're next.
So tell us about your creation.
We had "Little Miss Muffet.
" We decided to give the spider his story from his point of view.
I would have liked to have seen something that brought Miss Muffet into this and not just a spider by itself.
The fact that your whimsy has to do with your spider coloration I think was a poor choice.
It doesn't read whimsical.
It reads "A man and a spider put together.
" I just don't think it suits the challenge.
I think you got lost on trying to blow us away with a really big makeup this week and missed the fantastical and the whimsical.
Also, the paint needs so much more detail, so much more time.
It just doesn't play well.
Thank you.
If you'd please step back.
Thanks, buddy.
Lyma and Adolfo.
Tell us what the concept is behind the story.
She's kind of, like, a reincarnation of Humpty Dumpty.
A Lady Gaga reincarnation.
Like a female and stronger version of Humpty.
Who did what? I sculpted the cowl, the chest piece, and I did the arm pieces, and I painted the base of the body.
And Lyma sculpted the face, did all the plastic part of it, and she did all the airbrush work.
This is a beautiful rendition of Humpty Dumpty.
I like that you got beauty makeup into the makeup as well.
I'm really pleased with what you've done.
Thank you very much.
I'm very pleased with this.
It's very stylized.
I will say, Lyma, do not just keep holding stencils up and giving me the same pattern all over the body.
Other than that, I feel like we could see this in a film right now.
Well done.
Thank you so much.
If you'd please step back.
Rick and Eric, please come forward.
All right, guys, go ahead and tell me about your design ideas.
Well, we drew the crooked sixpence.
It describes the crooked man who walked a crooked mile.
He was a handsome man, and as he started to deform, he became rejected by society.
Rick sculpted the back and chest.
He also blocked out this arm and this arm piece.
I sculpted the face entirely.
My big problem with it is the idea.
It's neither completely real or completely fantastical.
- Right.
- Also, the fact that his arm is sort of just jammed on the back of him, very abrupt.
It doesn't look like his arm to me.
It looks like an extra arm.
That's bad.
You know, when I looked at this guy, I didn't see a crooked man.
I saw a twisted man.
If you would've done him really angular crooked, then that would've been whimsical.
I just think you guys missed the mark on this totally.
Right.
Thank you.
You can step down.
Thanks, boy.
Tate and Miranda, please step forward.
Okay, tell us about your Nursery Rhyme and who was responsible for which parts of your character, please.
We had "Peter, Peter, the pumpkin eater".
Tate sketched out the design of the face first, and I blocked out the cowl and the face and did a lot of the sculpting.
Tate did the hands and the body, and I did the head.
I think you knocked it out of the park.
This is really a fantastic character.
Yay.
I mean, every little detail on this reads whimsy and fantastical.
And I think you did a great job.
The decision-making in the sculpture on the face, where the smile happens through wrinkle texture, and it's not carved out, it looks organic.
It looks like a pumpkin.
It's really impressive, guys.
Well done.
Thank you so much.
If you'd please step back.
Thank you, guys.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while the judges make their decisions.
All right, judges, so why don't we start with some of your favorite looks tonight? How about Alana and Laney's character? This definitely was high on the whimsy mark for me.
Mm-hmm.
If it was just a pig makeup, it wouldn't have been whimsical.
It's the wig and the bow and Alana's sense of humor coming through.
And from a makeup standpoint, it was some of the best work that I've seen Alana do.
Let's talk about Adolfo and Lyma's character.
I loved that makeup.
I loved the whole head treatment with the cracked egg - Yeah.
- and all the different layers.
I liked that they added the couture element, that they made it a little runway.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
That was kind of cool.
Let's move on to Tate and Miranda's character.
The decisions in the sculpting and the paint job are so intelligent.
Miranda's sculpting's beautiful.
Beautifully painted.
A head-to-toe complete makeup.
The textures, everything was weathered to the same level.
Which is extremely impressive.
All right, so why don't we talk about the makeups that you didn't like as much? Let's start with Frank and Laura.
I felt that the fact that it was just a "spider man" wasn't very inventive.
And I think they're definitely much more creative than that.
Why didn't they do something where part of it was Miss Muffet and part of it was the spider and make it real whimsical and fairytale-like? Okay, let's move on to Rick and Eric.
It wasn't whimsical.
It was freaky and scary.
The fact that the arm was just jammed on the back, it killed me.
And when you get up into the face area, you're struggling with paint and sculpture.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? - Yeah.
- Yes, we have.
Let's bring them back out.
So, Glenn, tell us about the top teams.
Alana and Laney, your pig was a very impressive character, head to toe.
We really appreciate the amount of thought and work that went into this makeup.
Tate and Miranda, this was a killer design and a beautifully executed makeup.
We absolutely loved the sculpture, the paint, and the overall harmony of the piece.
Lyma and Adolfo, tonight was a huge step forward for both of you, and we can easily imagine your egg creation in a feature film.
Okay, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is Okay, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is Tate and Miranda.
Yeah, girl.
Your pumpkin was one of the best makeups we've ever seen on the show, truly a great collaboration.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Tate and Miranda, great job.
But as you know, we can only have one winner.
Glenn? Our winner tonight is Miranda.
- Yeah.
- Get it, girl.
It's a great makeup, and though Tate's design was very strong, we absolutely loved the sculpt and paint you applied.
So great job.
Well done.
- Thank you.
- Thank you guys so much.
It was such a team effort.
But it feels great to win, and I feel so honored.
Tate and Miranda, congratulations.
You, Alana, Laney, Adolfo, Lyma, you're all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
Unfortunately, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week, and two of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Rick and Eric, your character was anatomically incorrect and did not fulfill the whimsical aspect of this challenge.
Frank and Laura, your spider creature lacked detail in its paint, and your concept also failed to satisfy the criteria of this challenge.
So who is the first person going home tonight? The first person going home tonight is Rick.
We thought that you were missing some basic anatomy in your work tonight, and we really questioned the design choices that you made.
Rick, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
It's really been great having you here with us.
Thank you.
I saw some really cool stuff from you.
Hold your head high, and good luck in the future.
Thank you, sir.
Rick, if you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
I'm not ready to go home, but there's no regrets.
Being a part of this competition has been a dream come true.
It's really pushed me as an artist.
And I'll take all those things home with me as well as the relationships that I've formed.
Glenn, who is the second person leaving us tonight? The second person going home tonight is Eric.
We felt that your facial sculpture simply did not embrace the crooked nature of our challenge tonight.
It just wasn't taken far enough.
Thank you guys so much for this opportunity.
Eric, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means, Frank, Laura, you are safe this week.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room.
Eric, this was a really tough week.
There were so many great makeups.
And you should be proud of everything that you've done here with us.
Thank you very much, Ve.
Eric, it's really been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
Good luck, Eric.
I'm going home now, but there's a lot to be proud of.
This has all very much been a way to push myself.
- I'm going home, guys.
- No! I'm glad I came back.
I was very blessed to have been a part of Face Off.
I have this extended family of artists because of it.
- Bring it in, brother.
- Hey, buddy.
We're going together, man.
I'm very proud of what I've been able to accomplish.
I can only benefit from having been here.
There is a whole career out there for me.
And I know that I have a lot to offer this industry.
I'm definitely not giving up.
