How to Create Snap Molds
In this excerpt from "Character Makeup - Sculpture Breakdown & Mold Making - Part One," master FX artist Bruce Spaulding Fuller (Avengers: Infinity War, Bright, The Shape of Water) reveals a few of the key steps for creating "snap molds" of an overlapping prosthetic makeup sculpture. First, you'll learn multiple methods for cutting clay, followed by tips on building clean mold walls and working with alginate casting material. Finally, Fuller shows you how to make a rigid mold "jacket" with plaster bandages to help the alginate negative keep its shape for the next step in the process.
