Face Off (2011) s05e10 Episode Script

Previously on Face Off Tate's slothful sinner brought him to victory That means a lot.
And veteran Frank was sent home.
Now, six artists remain, and tonight, they'll be creating comedic poltergeists.
Ah, that's fun.
Comedy is not easy.
This is a weird challenge.
But this challenge is no laughing matter.
- Cancer? - Yeah.
Funny and scary is a very difficult balance.
I might be going home this week.
This is terrible.
I'm starting to have a panic attack.
If I don't have a wig, my whole character will be ruined.
Ugh.
- It works.
- I'm very confused.
That's a problem, when you can't tell me that.
In the end, one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Makeup to one of their a 2013 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Only one will win Face Off.
It's kind of nice and relaxing after the night I had last night.
That was awful.
How do you feel about that? Well, I didn't want to be there again, you know? Then, all of a sudden, I was.
I don't know if I was just not there mentally, but in the last challenge, I was in bottom looks.
I think I had been so worried about pleasing the judges that I'm not being true to myself.
I'm gonna go back to what I like doing.
Same here.
Yup.
Right with you.
From here on out, you're gonna see big.
You're gonna see fabrication.
This is gonna be a whole new ballgame for me.
- Oh! - Ohh.
So we walk into the lab, and there's lightning.
There's smoke.
- Oh, creepy.
- Ohh.
This is scary.
And there's Patrick Tatopoulos.
Hey, guys.
- Hey, McKenzie.
- Hey.
I'm sure you all know who this is.
Please welcome today's guest judge, our very own Patrick Tatopoulos.
Thank you.
I'm so happy to be back, guys.
It's really good to see Patrick again.
He's just a fantastic designer.
I have the utmost respect for Patrick's work.
All right, now today's challenge is based on a dark and mysterious figure whose face has never been seen.
The Grim Reaper.
Oh, no.
It's really cool.
This entire line of Grim Reapers start walking in.
They're all cloaked.
You can't see their faces.
I'm really excited about this.
Oh, hell, yeah.
Your foundation challenge is to create your own version of the Grim Reaper, so that we can finally see what lies beneath that hood.
- Ooh.
- Awesome.
Now, Patrick, with a character as iconic as the Grim Reaper, how can the artists create something original? Just have to try to stay very universal.
It's a character that everybody knows.
You have to find a way to make it relatable for everyone.
Now, the winner of today's foundation challenge will earn immunity and cannot be eliminated this week.
All right, your models have been randomly assigned, and you have two hours to complete your makeups.
Good luck, because your time starts now.
Good luck.
Ever had a bald cap put on? - Yeah.
- All right.
You have such nice hair.
I really want to keep my Grim Reaper very classic.
I want his face to be crackly and gross, and I want to sprinkle blood on him, like he's just taken somebody.
I'm gonna try some stuff on you.
I find this snakeskin prosthetic.
I've always been creeped out by snakes, so maybe I can play into one of my own kind of fears.
I just want to try to do a new take on a skull.
I've actually applied seven prosthetics, but they're not being used the way that they should be used.
This is a brow piece.
These are old-age folds, and he just comes up and points, and he's like, "You.
You're dead.
Let's go.
" I'm gonna make this more Hades than a skeleton.
I want it to feel old and wise.
Big beard, big eyes, so he has this penetrating sort of stare.
I think most people are gonna go with a skull type of look, so I want to have sections that are completely black.
I also want to cover his mouth.
You don't want to hear death sneaking up on you, so he can't speak.
You have five minutes left! That's it, everybody! Time's up! Brushes down.
- Hello, Tate.
- Hi, Tate.
Tell us about your Grim Reaper.
Well, I just wanted to do something dry and cracked.
Could you move a little bit? See, that's what's cool, because it's unexpected it's gonna move.
It's fantastic.
Very cool piece.
Mine was kind of inspired by the look that Rob Zombie plays with on stage.
What you created for the skin is really effective and very strong.
I wish you did something else with the-- the mouth.
- What you put-- you know-- - Yeah, I was out of time.
I like the idea, is to bringing black in it to the part of the face that are gone.
It's cool.
It's great.
And the mouth, that was very daring and it came out great.
My Grim Reaper takes advantage of people's fears.
I like what she's done with the nose, and the delicacy of how tiny the scales are.
Very, very delicate, and very real.
I figured the Grim Reaper doesn't need a voice, so just get rid of the mouth.
Oh, that's actually really effective because it looks like a sculpted piece, seriously.
You blended them together very well.
I decided to fuse human anatomy with roots and things you'd see underground.
Right.
The way you split the nose in half, it's like the roots are forcing their way through the face.
Very original.
Thank you.
All right, Patrick, which artists created your favorite looks today? You guys really answered the challenge very, very well.
Laura, I really was very, very impressed with the use of light and shadows.
- It was very, very effective.
- Thank you.
And Tate, your texture on the skin was super effective.
It felt dead, yet could come alive, and I thought that was a very big asset.
Great.
Thank you.
All right, who is the winner of this challenge? The winner of this challenge is Laura.
Congratulations.
Laura, you did something very special with your makeup.
You used generic appliances, put them together in such a great way.
They felt like they were one piece of sculpture.
Thank you, guys.
Laura, as the winner of this foundation challenge, you have earned immunity and cannot be eliminated this week.
A shower of relief goes over me.
Finally, to have immunity, is just a treat.
All right, everybody, I will see you guys tomorrow for your next spotlight challenge.
Bye.
Big day! It's really cool to be walking in the middle of Hollywood.
We see a big marquee for the Laugh Factory, and it says "Face Off" all over the building.
So that's amazing.
This place is historic.
We walk in, and there's McKenzie with Ve, so I guess this is where we're gonna get our next spotlight challenge, but I don't understand what the Laugh Factory has to do with makeup.
Welcome to the world-famous Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip.
This renowned venue opened in 1979 with a legendary performance by Richard Pryor.
Since then, it has continued to host the biggest names in comedy, including Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, and Louis CK, just to name a few.
This club isn't only known for laughs.
It's also one of Hollywood's most haunted locations.
In fact, the office upstairs used to belong to the comedy legend Groucho Marx, and visitors say that they can still see him walking around up there.
Now, while ghosts are most commonly seen in horror movies and paranormal shows, films like Beetlejuice made them a source of comedy, so with that in mind, your spotlight challenge is to create an original ghost character that is both scary and funny.
Ah, that's fun.
Comedy is not easy, and-- I don't know.
A scary, funny, graphical-- this is a weird challenge.
Lucky for you guys, we have Ms.
Ve with us here today.
Now, as you know, she won an Oscar for the iconic makeup she did on Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice.
Ve, you expertly tread that fine line between being both funny and scary.
How did you find that perfect blend? I made a real good contrast with his eyes and his hair, put some moss growing on him like he crawled out from underneath a rock, and that took it out of the ordinary and gave it that comedic edge that we were looking for.
The light-hearted creepy guy.
So what are you gonna be looking for in their final makeups on the reveal stage? I'm gonna be looking for something that's really creepy and scary, but make him bitchin' and fun, guys.
Go have a blast.
That's awesome.
Thank you, Ve.
All right, guys.
I want you to take advantage of this atmosphere here for some design inspiration.
When you're finished, you can head back to the lab and get started.
Good luck! Bye.
I love the idea of Vaudeville, so my concept is two little people who used to perform as clowns in Vaudeville, would go piggy-back with a trench coat.
One night, one of 'em's drunk, and they get killed stepping into traffic and gettin' hit by a street car.
So now they have to spend eternity stacked on top of each other.
I'm kind of thinking to do an 18th century duchess who constantly nags her husband and spends all his money, so he has her beheaded, and then she comes back to exact her revenge on him so she can constantly berate him for the rest of their afterlife.
My concept is "Bone-Cap Bill.
" He's a Wild West showman whose show was raided by a tribe of Apaches, and he was shot up with arrows and scalped.
He might be a host of a children's television show in the netherworld.
My concept is that he's a nerdy scientist who got blown up in his experiment and doesn't even know he's dead.
He's very fumbling and he's very physical comedy.
All right, guys.
Let's head back to the lab.
We get to the lab and pick our models, and we have six hours today.
Today, it's really important that I get the lower section, the first body, done, and the legs of the top body.
It's really hard to sculpt something horizontally that should be upright.
For this thing to work, all the proportions have to be right, so I keep standing over it, making sure that everything is proportionally correct.
So is it a doctor or is it a scientist? Well, he's, like, a doctor who's working on a cure.
A cure for what? - Cancer.
- Cancer? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Something that's funny and scary is a very difficult balance.
I'm just not excited about my concept.
I'm still developing the story.
I'm just gonna try my best to make this work 'cause I feel that, this far in the competition, it's important to take risks.
My character is "Electro-Cute.
" She was electrocuted during a music festival on the Sunset Strip, and now she roams the Sunset Strip and tries to take over the stage from all the bands playing.
I'm sculpting an amplifier, and I want it to look like it was fused into her chest.
So I find little plastic bottle caps to look like the On and Off buttons.
I think it'll look pretty cool when it's all pulled together.
So this character is going to have a full chest piece, a facial piece, and two ear prosthetics.
There's so much involved with just the chest sculpt that I get straight to work on that.
I'm blocking out the cowl and the face, and, about three hours in, I start questioning my concept.
I feel like this doctor character doesn't really fulfill the funny and scary parameters of the challenge.
That is huge, because it's arguably the most important part of a concept, but I'm worried that I'm gonna have to start over from scratch.
On the other hand, if I move forward with the concept I have now, they're definitely gonna send me home.
I don't have a choice.
I have to make a change.
Coming up Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly like that.
This is terrible.
I'm starting to have a panic attack.
Ugh! It doesn't look funny.
It just looks weird.
It's quite genius.
This doesn't satisfy the challenge.
So it's day one of our challenge, and we have to create a scary but funny ghost.
The character I'm creating right now doesn't really fulfill that, so I realize that I have to change my concept.
It's rough starting a new design three hours in, but I think this makeup will be more successful if I change it.
I come up with another concept, and it's about a '20s baseball player who has a raging temper, and he throws his baseball bat, and it comes back, hits him in the head, and kills him.
I feel like this concept is more comedic.
Although I'm three hours behind, I know this was the right decision.
Hey, guys! We're here for a walkthrough.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, Tate.
- Hey.
- Tell us about your concept.
- Wow.
He was a Wild West performer that was attacked by a tribe of Apaches, and now he's a children's television show for the spirits of dead kids.
Oh, that's hysterical.
I was thinking about making the character grayscale.
Do you think that I should put in some yellows and greens? - I do.
I do.
- Yeah? And even to the point of maybe a little dust on him - Yeah, okay.
- because it's the Wild West.
He hasn't had a bath for a long time.
I like that.
My girl's gonna be called "Electro-Cute," and she was playing an outdoor festival with her band - She's so cute.
- and she got electrocuted when it started to rain.
I was thinking of having white lightning bolt patterns all over her body.
It's almost gonna read like a large blood vein as opposed to a lightning bolt.
It could be a blood vein, maybe around the body coming down.
- Just not too many.
- Yeah.
Don't overdo it.
With the face, I'm exaggerating the chin and-- Now, you know something? To make it a little bit more comedic, you might add a little bit more under the chin there.
- Really go for the gusto? - Yeah.
So, my concept is this cartoon-style ghost with a baseball bat wedged in his head.
What is the purpose of the chin? That was just an aesthetic choice to balance the top of the cowl.
I could see the judges saying, "What is it? Tell me.
" And you're gonna have to come up with a story.
- They're Vaudeville performers.
- Okay.
They act during the intermissions in Vaudeville.
- Okay.
- I'm just trying to get the-- the right expression on the face.
This man looks like he's screaming bloody murder.
I almost like your sketch better, - where he had a big stogie - Yeah.
hanging out of his mouth as opposed to All right, everybody.
We're heading out, but it's looking good.
- Thanks, guys.
- Have a good one.
Mr.
Westmore suggested I close the mouth.
I got to find something to make a cigar out of.
After I make a little quick cigar and pop it in there, I see that it's a lot funnier with the mouth closed.
So I finished sculpting the chest and head straight into the mold room.
And the goal is to get the chest piece molded and ready for foam.
Now, hopefully, if I can get the chest out by today, I can pre-paint it tomorrow, so that's the goal.
The chest is priority.
But there's gonna be a baseball bat, like, wedged in his head.
I can't use a real bat, obviously, because that would be too heavy, so I'm using a tube of foam and carving the shape of a bat with a belt sander.
I'm also sculpting a divot in the cowl where the bat hits him in the head to keep it in place.
I'll attach velcro patches to both the bat and the cowl.
Whoa! You made this? Yeah.
I mean, it's kind of rough, but-- - That's so good.
- Thanks.
One of the things that I am a little confused about is how the hell I'm gonna make this head that I have to have her carrying.
I see that all the wigs have these styrofoam heads that they're on top of, and I'm like, "Maybe I can just use one of these and get away with that.
" I start stippling latex all over it, and then I start gluing these pre-made prosthetics onto it, and I find a nose that's very similar to the nose that I'm sculpting on my female character.
I think that I can make this work well enough for what I need it to be.
I like the nose.
- It goes with your, uh-- - Her nose? Goes with her nose, yeah.
At the end of day one, I get my chest piece molded in time to bake overnight for foam.
That's time, everybody.
I'm all ready to paint tomorrow, and I'm feeling really good.
It's day two, and we have 9 1/2 hours in the lab today, and the first thing I do is check out my bodysuit.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
That is so amazing.
That's so fantastic.
Roy, put it on.
Please? I got to get stuff made right now.
All right.
Today, I really have to finish sculpting the face, and then I got to sculpt the arms.
Day two in the lab.
I have to get started on the broomstick pony.
The skull is a pretty involved process.
I think maybe I'll carve some rigid foam to make the jaw piece, and then hollow it out to make the skull.
That's so cool.
I'm going to paint the skull realistically.
I want the eyes to glow, so I figure out how to get eyes in there and mount them, and then I make a rigging where my model can actually pull a trigger and make the mouth move.
And I just got to make the bridle and the saddle and all that other stuff.
I'm about an hour and a half in, so I head over to the wet room and get ready for molding.
I have plenty of time to knock these two pieces out.
I feel like I'm back on track.
I'm feeling pretty good.
You got your sculpts done pretty fast, Eddie.
Yeah, not too bad for starting over.
For my character, I really want to create my own wig for her to make her hair stick straight up as if she was electrocuted, but it's really hard and taking a lot longer than I thought.
I've tried multiple ways, but it's so messy and sticky.
It's sticking to my hand, and then it sticks to the table.
It sticks to my brush, and it's just so frustrating.
Ugh! I'm starting to have a panic attack.
If I don't have a wig, my whole character will be ruined.
So it's day two of our funny ghost challenge, and I can't get this wig to come out the way I want it to look.
Ugh! I have to get my wig done.
If I don't have a wig, my whole concept will be ruined because the judges won't be able to see that she's been electrocuted.
This is so hard.
Laney's having a really hard time.
I know all of us guys promised to stop helping people, but I can see that look on her face and I feel really bad.
Does it look bad? Well, it doesn't look done.
I'm in a good place with my stuff, so I jump over and help her.
This is terrible.
- It's not doing what you want? - No.
_ You're gonna have to put some Gafquat here, Gafquat here.
Then you can, like, roll up these tips into, like, points and stuff.
I give her a couple ideas with Gafquat.
It's a very heat-sensitive hair adhesive, so if you just hit it with a hair dryer, you can pull it right up.
Okay, that's smart.
So that stuff worked pretty good? - Yeah.
- Good.
It makes it look so much nicer.
I wish I'd used this the entire time.
After the science experiment explosion, my mad scientist is scratched up and really burnt, and I think it'll be funny to have his ear kind of falling off, and I'm gonna make it out of silicone.
This blue piece is the silicone mold that was made from my model's life cast.
I'm pouring a platinum cure silicone in, and when it hardens, I should be able to get an ear.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my-- I see Roy in the two-part little person costume.
That thing is freakin' me out, and Roy is smiling on top of it.
"Hee-hee-hee," like, giggling like a kid.
Eeeeh! That's terrifying.
That's your greatest thing you've ever created.
Wah! Roy is pulling it off again, man.
He's doing an amazing, complex, crazy thing, and it looks great.
Bye, guys! Seeing Roy create two characters is making me question how much I'm doing this challenge.
His concept is very strong, and it's gonna take a lot for me to match that.
It's almost the end of the day, and I'm really stressed out.
I spent so much time working on the wig, and now I'm really behind with everything else.
Time's up! Let's go home.
I'm really worried about tomorrow.
There's so much to get done, and I don't know if I'll have time to finish everything.
It's the beginning of application day, and we only have four hours in the lab.
When I get to my prosthetic-- What the fuck is that? The entire thing has these big air pockets between the foam latex and the skin.
But if I try to glue it, my whole detail layer will be eliminated, and that would be really bad, because that's what I spent all the time sculpting.
So I'm gonna have to spend quite a bit of time patching this.
Because it took me a lot longer than I wanted to finish my wig, I got really behind.
So I immediately just start getting all my stuff ready before the models get here.
- What's up? Yeah.
- What's up? You're gonna be midgets today.
She's a rocker girl that got electrocuted.
Just let me know wherever it does not feel good.
My first priority is making sure that the details on the face are solid.
Even though I have immunity, I am really hoping to impress the judges because I want to win this challenge, and I think I might have a chance.
The judges are gonna be looking for a funny ghost.
And you want to close it, like, all the way.
And a lot of that's gonna depend on my model's performance.
Walk this way.
And I keep telling her, it's like, "Try and make it sell.
" No, a little-- little bit shorter-- little bit shorter steps, yeah.
Just that little, bitty short step.
If she doesn't pull it off, I'll probably be going home, no matter how cool it looks.
That-- that's it.
That's the walk right there.
That's the walk.
I'm painting these elongated forms around the eyes, and when I take a step back from my piece, I notice that they seem a little awkward, but I'm just gonna do my best to make what I sculpted work and spend more time improving this paint job.
One hour left, guys.
One hour.
Today, everything is going ridiculously well.
The face piece fits him great, it emotes.
He can move his mouth, nose-- everything works, from the makeup to the broomstick pony.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly like that.
Hopefully, things keep going well.
It's almost the end of application, and my model's barely painted and the hands aren't finished.
There's gonna be a lot to paint in last looks.
That's time, everybody! Time.
Let's get out of here.
I don't know if I can finish painting the entire piece in an hour.
I really think I could be going home.
Coming up Come on, airbrush! I have a feeling I might be in trouble.
I think he's terrific.
That's not a good place to be this week.
What have you done? Go, go, go.
Good luck, guys.
It's last looks, so we have one more hour.
Sit down right here.
We have a lot to do.
I need to paint the highlights and shadows as quickly as possible, 'cause she's just pink.
Let me see your hand.
Okay.
Can you do this? Having to start over was really rough for me.
Close your eyes.
Now I'm worried this is not gonna read as the classic, cartoon-style ghost character.
Anybody have any black gaff tape? Yup.
Right over here.
I'm probably in the best position I've been in this season.
Now all I got to do is just touch up the eyes and her mouth, and attach the hands to the trench coat.
Oh, my God.
My airbrush starts acting up, and I don't have time to clean it, and that's what I was trying to do all my detail with.
Come on, airbrush! And it's just taking longer than I expected, and I'm not getting the paint I want.
Ugh! Stop clogging, please.
Ten minutes! Here.
Come here.
Time's up, everybody! Whoo! Looking across the room, I'm seeing a lot of amazing makeups.
I think I might be in trouble this week.
Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
Tonight, one of you will be eliminated.
Say hello to our talented judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening, guys.
- Hey.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist, Ve Neill.
Hi, everybody.
- Hey, Ve.
- Hi.
Creature and concept designer, Neville Page.
- Hi, guys.
- Hey, Neville.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original ghost character that was both scary and funny.
So let's take a look at your ghosts while the audience at home tweets about their favorites using #FaceOff.
First up, Laura's creation.
I'm proud of this character.
He looks like he belongs in a world where ghosts are funny.
I just can't stop laughin' at it.
It's just so funny.
And you can't send somebody home that puts a smile on your face.
From afar, I'm not happy with it.
If I were to do it again, I would have made the face more human-like.
I'm proud of this character, and I'm especially proud of the amount of work I pulled off.
I think I definitely nailed what was asked of me for the challenge.
I think she looks more silly than she does funny, but at least it's pulled together.
I'm just hoping to get by this week.
The lightning bolts aren't as bright as I want them to be.
Hopefully, when the judges take their closer looks, they'll be able to see, but for me, I absolutely love what I've created.
Judges, why don't you go ahead and get up close to the ghosts? It's very ghost-like and ethereal.
I like the way she got a little bit of it up there.
- That's cool.
- Can you look that way, please? 'Cause there's a nice little slit ear.
Ooh, look at that.
- That's a lot of work.
- Yeah.
He shouldn't have wasted time putting prosthetics on her face.
No, I don't get it.
Although it does at least make her look dead-ish.
Yeah.
All right.
What the heck? Turn, so we can check out the back.
What's with the artichoke head? I don't get it.
Like, why is that "Ghost"? - Turn this way.
- Is it, like, an ethereal form? The hat shape stuck with his head? I see Glenn doing this, and that is never a good sign.
I could be on bottom this week.
Oh, they're little worms.
Yeah.
I love the hair.
- This is so nice.
- That is cool.
And it's stayin' on really good.
Thank you.
- Who is he? - Oh, that's my husband.
- Nice.
- Hmm.
This could have benefitted from some more color in here.
_ It's just so monotone.
I don't like anything about my makeup this week.
I just hope I'm not going home for this one.
Who made your favorite ghost tonight? Tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff.
It's just so monotone.
*** I did the best I could with this challenge, but I'm just not a fan of this character, and I'm probably gonna be in trouble.
She's pretty cool.
I just don't like this all-gray look.
It's these hard form choices.
- Yeah.
- Can you open your mouth? Thank you so much.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The judges have scored your creations, so let's find out what they thought.
Miranda Tate Congratulations, you are both safe and can head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
The rest of you were the best and the worst.
Now, the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Laura, please step up.
Laura, tell us about your concept this week.
I decided on mad scientist, because he could be in an explosion and he doesn't know he's dead.
And once he figures out he's dead, then he'll finally cross over.
I think it's superb.
Your decision making this week was spot-on.
The edges are beautiful, as they always are, and it feels like something from films like the Frighteners or the Beetlejuice world.
- It's quite well done.
- Thank you.
You did a massive amount of work yet again.
You treated his entire body, and I love the little nurnies and stuff you stretched all over.
Once again, a beautiful makeup.
- Thank you.
- It's a good piece of work.
It really is, and I like the big, bushy eyebrows and his frazzled hair.
He feels like a mad scientist.
I just wish it was funnier.
I agree.
Thank you.
Laura, please step back.
Eddie.
Eddie, tell us about your concept for your ghost this week.
My character was a baseball player with a raging temper, and one game, he decided to throw his bat at the opposing team's dugout, and it came back and knocked him on the head, and that's how he passed away.
It doesn't look funny.
It just looks weird.
I'm very confused.
I don't understand this weird, kiss-like apertures around his eyes, and the pointed chin, and the artichoke head.
Why did you go that route? Well, that was more of an aesthetic choice, just to make it kind of on the cartoony-side.
I think you missed the funny part of it.
For me, if this guy gets hit in the back of the head, his eyeballs would be bulging out.
All kids of crazy stuff should be happening.
I think you fell short on that whole aspect.
I laughed inside when he was looking for the bat.
It was kind of funny that he couldn't find it, and it was stuck to his head, but, aesthetically, it's so nightmarish and weird.
That doesn't fly as comedic.
The kiss makeup around his eye-- what are you pulling from? That was kind of just an aesthetic choice.
That's a problem when you can't tell me that.
- You see what I'm saying? - Yeah.
It's not funny.
It's not telling me the story, - and it doesn't feel at all like a ghost.
- Yeah.
Eddie, please step back.
Thanks, guys.
Roy.
Roy, what have you done? Well, these are the Cain Brothers, and they were Vaudevillian performers.
They had a drinkin' problem, and one night they stepped into traffic and got hit by a streetcar.
They were killed, so this is how they have to live in the afterlife.
It works.
At a distance, head looks real.
It almost passes for a genuine little person.
I laughed out loud on this one.
Thank you.
It's quite genius, because you manage so deftly to capture the humor aspects of the challenge.
I love the simplicity of the arm gag.
- Really well done.
- Thank you.
This is a quintessential Vaudevillian trick.
They would put two little kids on top of each other to create an adult, and you pulled it off so well with one person.
Unbelievable, honey.
You did a great job.
Thank you.
Roy, please step back.
- Nice job.
- Laney, please step up.
Laney, tell us about your character.
Her name is "Electro-Cute," and she was a rock band guitarist that was playing an outdoor festival, and during the show, it started to rain, and she became electrocuted by her guitar.
It does not tell me the story about her and how she's a ghost.
I don't understand why her skull looks like that.
You used these very confusing forms to create your head sculpture, and it does not make me laugh.
It just makes me confused.
Well, she's very cute, but she looks to me more like a punk rock alien.
You don't have anything on her that looks like she was electrocuted-- like she would have had singeing marks or something crazy somewhere.
It just missed for me this week, honey.
These are good ideas, but you've got to turn it up, because it's supposed to be funny.
You have to make it a caricature.
I'm pleased with how ambitious you are, but I'm disappointed that this doesn't satisfy the challenge.
Laney, if you'd please step back.
All right, guys, the judges have heard what you have to say.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while they deliberate.
Thank you.
Okay, judges.
Let's start with the looks you liked the most this week.
Why don't we begin with Laura? Loved it.
Liked it.
I didn't laugh out loud.
Clean, beautiful, and sound decision making each step of the way.
She did a fabulous job again.
She could have pushed it a little further, and then it would have really been funny.
All right, let's move on to Roy.
Okay, well, Roy really knocked it out of the park for me.
I got it immediately.
The face on the small person carrying her is quite funny.
I'm really happy with his work this week.
I'm happy to see this Roy back.
Okay, let's move on to the looks you liked the least.
Why don't we start with Eddie? Just so un-obvious as to what it is supposed to be.
The things around the eyes are just so bizarre.
I really don't like it.
I've had enough of backstories that try to make sense out of something that is not fitting in to what it is that we asked them to do.
You would never be able to pull that off on set.
All right, let's move on to Laney.
She had a really cute idea.
It could have been done really well.
I loathe the forms that she used on the head.
They make no sense at all.
She has got to stop infusing every piece with her personality.
- Yeah.
- It needs to be stand-alone.
So, judges, have you made your decisions? Yes, we have.
Let's bring them back out.
All right, Glenn, why don't you tell us about the top looks? Laura Your makeup was especially well done, and it hit just the right note for this week's particular challenge.
And, Roy We loved your crazy concept this week, and more than impressed by all the snap decisions that you've had to make in order to pull it off for this challenge.
Who is the winner of this challenge? The winner tonight is Who is the winner of this challenge? The winner tonight is Roy.
Yay! You got one.
Only you could have come up with and executed something like this character on the level that you did this week, and it all worked so well.
Thank you very much.
It feels good to finally win one.
It's our tenth challenge, and this is my first win.
About damn time.
Roy, congratulations.
You and Laura can head back to the makeup room.
- Bye.
- Bye, guys.
Unfortunately, that means, Eddie and Laney, you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be eliminated.
Please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Eddie, while your concept was interesting, very little of it was evident in your makeup because of the hyper-stylized choices that you made.
Laney, we were disappointed in the shapes that you used in the face and thought that it maybe looked more alien than it did ghost.
So who's going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Eddie.
Your character was neither here nor there for us tonight.
It wasn't particularly scary or funny, and we weren't really sure what it was that we were looking at.
Eddie, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means, Laney, you are safe this week.
You can head back to the makeup room.
Eddie, you're a young guy.
You got a long road ahead of you, and I'm excited to see where you take it, because you've got a real bold aesthetic, and that's an asset.
Thank you.
Eddie, 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.
I've had an incredible experience.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Bye, Eddie.
I'm very happy that I made it ten challenges in, and I've learned so many things.
Hey, guys.
It's me.
Aww.
I'm feeling all right.
I've gotten to know a lot of great people, and I've gotten feedback from industry professionals.
Oh, boy.
I know I have a lot to learn, and Face Off has really inspired me to keep at it.
I'm gonna go home with my head held high, and I feel like I've already won by just being here.
