Costume Update

I've finally finished the body mold, smoothed the seams and gave it a coat of primer and sealer, now its ready to add clay. I've started the glove process, the wax mold was fun to do, but now there is a big red spot on the kitchen floor where a bunch of wax fell. If Alie wasn't all ready to kill me, I was. Now the next steps are to cast the feet then pour plaster inside. And that is when I can sculpt the two fingered/toed gloves and boots. Thats it for the quick update.




Water and Fire

So in these videos, we have some more fun at the Jet off of Ursa Minor, the back flip was the first one I've done there. Jordan was standing on the edge tryin to decide wether or not to do it. I said to him; hey that should be fun so he stepped over and said go for it. Fun. the other video is of a thing called FireWire, the process is you tie a speaker wire around some steel wool that you've pulled slightly apart to create more room for the fire to burn, then light it with a lighter. then you can swing it around and people stay clear. this is also a great method if you are ever in a crowded space and start to feel claustrophobic, just pull out your pre-tied wool, light her up and start swingin. The one I had in the movie wasn't tied on to tight so it didn't last as long, but it was sure fun.
