2 DAY MASTER CLASS
I view this as more than just a class, it's meant to be an experience!
Bravo fx is teaming up with the Kult Event Space And Theater in Downtown Los Angeles to create "Horror At The Kult" a slate of film and horror-themed events intended to give back to the horror community, each day of the master class consists of a Lecture, demonstration and then hands-on interactive learning, participants will be given there own SPFX makeup kits meaning when they leave they will have the tools needed to go on and create epic looks, and even take gigs working in the industry. This high-impact crash course is meant to grant students the foundations needed to develop out-of-this-world stuff.

Day One casualty simulation fundamentals and zombies!
We will hit the ground running on this Epic 2-day adventure, starting with a lecture on character makeups and casualty simulation (gore), simple color-based designs, out-of-kit approaches, and prosthetic appliances, as well as discussing budget considerations, and picking your approach based on script and circumstance.
With lecture out of the way, we will move on to demo/ interactive learning. We will do gore makeup using out-of-kit methods and color, we will then progress our makeup from injury to a zombie by adding pros-aid transfers, silicone appliances, and a new color pallet,
finally we will finish up by changing our model from zombie to a creature with foamed latex prosthetics, throughout the process you will learn execution on every form of application used on set, air brushing, and working with PAX paint
we will finish up by demonstration a slit throat using a 3 gallon fire extinguisher filled with fake blood for a dynamic end to day one
Day Two Lab work and fabrication! and life casting demo
Day 2 will agin start with lecture, we will discuss lab work, safety/etiquette, and fabracation and a discussion on process before going into the days first demo where you will aid me in executing a full head silicone life cast, we will then discuss alginate life casting before partnering up and doing your own cast *note if you want to participate you will want to be cleanly shaven as part of the process you will also learn execution of a bald cap
The second part of the day we will discuss corrective pours and create fake body parts (we will discuss different skins and mediums) that you will then paint and be able to take home. After which I'll show how the same methods can be used to make fake props.
we will wrap things up with review and free learning where you can ask me about any topic you want to spend some time on
virtual class creature suit creation
Each student will get a link to a virtual lesson on creature suit foam fabricating, I realized during our last in-person class that while this is fun in person its a lot of information to give in to short a time, and the ability to rewind review is paramount to getting the most out of this. So each student will be given a link to view the creature creation course
learn the process of paterning, skinning, applying latex, seaming, and so much more
the methods supplied are the fastest and most cost-effective way to bring big-budget creatures to the indie film world
plus it is an exciting first step towards offering digital lessons
