For an episode of the TV series 'Keen Eddie' they wanted a Matrix style 'bullet time' shot of a bar room brawl. However, these type of shots normally require dozens of cameras and lots of time and money, things sorely lacking in TV productions! The answer?? Suspend tables and chairs on wires, get your actors to stand VERY still in mid punch etc and get some FX guy to make plastic, freeze frame beer!!
Using photos of real beer in flight I cut a shape from clear sheet plastic and shaped it by heating and bending it. I stuck this into a real beer glass and then built up the 'beer' with epoxy glue coloured with brown inks. Considering it's not the sort of thing I normally do (no boobies, monsters or blood!!...lol) I thought it turned out quite well.
For the same series I also made some over head rubber masks of Duran Duran (the group not the film character) used in an episode as disguises by some bank robbers!!
The series was an American show but for some reason was made in the UK...I've never actually seen it. If anyone here has I'd be interested to know how well this worked in the show!!
Never heard of the show 'til now... But this looks damn good. Real, too.
Nice!

"I have whirled with the earth at the dawning,
When the sky was a vaporous flame;
I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim,
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name."
Oh thanks for the information. I think I just learned something new that I can possibly apply to my own work... Love the process and looks great as well take care...drive safely

Unfortunately I have no pictures of the Duran masks....over the years I've done so much that I've never photographed (I have such a terrible sense of history!!)....I'm afraid it all comes down to that terrible lazy streak I've mentioned here many times before!!
For the same show I also made a wall plaque with some giant lips on (for set dressing in a cosmetic surgeons office)...I don't have pics of those either!!...lol!!
The foam was more epoxy glue...I found that if you stirred it violently just as it started to set the air you beat into it stayed there as it hardened..looking exactly like beer foam!
ah! I've only ever mixed small batches of it, and never had the need to make it bubble up.. but now that you mention it! the two part epoxies I've had to stir, do get bubbles.. and toss in a bit of brown ink! Presto! instant beer foam!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
