In this practical session with Sue she introduced us to the brief and how sessions will be with her, we also took home our new special effects kits. I feel excited to begin this new brief but also nervous to use new materials and products in our kits.
Notes
- Healthy and safety is important this semester as we are working with special effects products such as silicone etc
- Don't cover up vents
- Make sure windows are open
- Silicone doesn't react well with Aloe Vera
- Don't mix or interact other products with silicone before application
- Wear old clothes, shoes and tie hair up when working with silicone
- Need to wear safety googles and mask when working with silicone
- Ventilation is important
- Can store away moulds at Uni studios
- Need to sit moulds on plastic material
- black gloves are best to use when handling silicone as they are powder and sulphur free
What is Silicone?
Silicone is a man-made polymer (Substance which has a molecular structure or derives from a large group of similar bonds) which consists of oxygen and silicone. Silicone is used in a majority of beauty and skincare products etc, primers, skin serums, hair care products. We use Silicone to create a mould/wounds in special effects make-up, this is the technique I will use to create my snake bite wound.
