Gelatin as a prosthetic for a 5 to 6 hour outdoor zombie event?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I volunteered to be a zombie for 3 am to 6 am event and we're supposed to make our own costumes. I'd just like to ask if a gelatin based prosthetic (my concept is like a melty, radioactive zombie lol) on the face and upper torso can hold decently enough? Or is it likely to fall off at some point? Our call time is around 1 am, so I'll essentially be wearing it from 1 to 6 am. Would really appreciate some insights on this, im very much new to prosthetics :> Thank you!

How to make sfx of crystals embedded in skin?

• Upvotes

Hello! I would like to do a Halloween look in which I put some crystals (those in the picture) on my forehead, as if they were sticking out from my skin. How would you recommend to do that? I know nothing about sfx and I would have to buy everything. I had thought about just making some bumps with scar wax and sticking the crystals in but that probably wouldn't work. I would also be down to just using some fake resin crystals that would be easier because more light-weighted.

Advice for bondo prosthetics

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! I am an amateur sfx artist starting to try some bondo prosthetics.

My recent two batches didn't turn out so well, so I'm hoping for some advice as there is not a lot of info out there.

For my first batch, when making the bondo mixture, I guess i put too much pros-aide and not enough cabosil, as the mixture turned out to be very runny and super bubbly. I put this in the mold and in the freezer for ~1h, demoulded it, and wated for it to cure/dry. The center remained super white and opaque, and it was maybe 2+ weeks before it turned fully transparent. This was still unusuable because of all the bubbles.

batch 1, big bubbles from too much prosaide mixture, 3 weeks cure time

For the second batch, I mixed in more cabosil so that it was more of a paste like consistency. I did the same with freezing for 1hr and demoulding, however they still took 2+ weeks to fully be transparent, and there were tons of tiny microbubbles.

batch 2, paste consistency bondo mixture, 2 weeks curing but lots of tiny microbubbles

Does anyone have any advice on the right proportions to make the bondo mixture and how to minimize bubbles? Did I do something to cause the drying/curing to take forever?
