Podcast appearances and mentions of bill corso

Today, we welcome Josh Forbes to the podcast, director of Destroy All Neighbors. This is a gleefully fun movie that feels as inventive as it is unhinged. It's the kind of movie that I'm feeling really good about seeing more of because it's completely original. This is Josh's second feature after his debut Contracted Phase 2 and I think he's really made a serious statement; the energy, attitude, fun and bonkers practical effects make this a very fun movie. The movie starred Jonah Ray with a very hilarious performance by Alex Winter and special effects by Bill Corso and Gabe Bartalos of Basket Case Fame. In this interview Josh gets into the making of Destroy All Neighbors from the conception of the idea, to his attachment as director, raising funds and more as well as the current state of cinema that enabled something this original to get made. Don't forget to check out Destroy all Neighbors, now streaming on Shudder, and in the meantime, please enjoy this conversation with Director, Josh Forbes. Take inventory of awesome things you have access to.This is a common one, take inventory of everything you have access to and fashion your movie out of that. Production value is so critical, and often so expensive. Maximize your movie by taking an inventory of what you have access to and writing your script around it. If you have a friend with a boat, that boat should be in your movie. A friend who owns a pig, in the case of Josh, a pig should be in the movie. This is exactly what Robert Rodriguez did with El Mariachi and Kevin Smith with Clerks.Use practical effects.Practical effects, never went away, but still somehow feel like they're having a second heyday which is awesome. The thing about practical effects is that the community is very very passionate and despite having a low budget, Josh was able to get some very heavy hitters like Bill Corso and Gabe Bartolos on board simply because the project looked fun. Similarly when he did Mortuary Collection, Ryan Spindell was able to get Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis from ADI on board despite a relatively low budget because these guys wanted to be involved for the fun of it. The level of passion present in the practical effects community is something very awesome to tap into and it adds a level of production value to your movie that goes a long way in the horror community. Always pay as much as you can though.Push for your original singular vision.Destroy all Neighbors could not have been made by anybody else because it's so specific and singular to Josh, his sensibility, and the things he likes. Directors are supposed to direct movies that only they would be able to do. As a director, you need to understand own and articulate your own sensibility - yes, be open to feedback and collaboration, but your movies should feel specifically uniquely yours. These are the types of projects that inspire others and are worth getting excited about.SHOW NOTESMovies and TV ShowsOnyx the FortuitousFried BarryIdle HandsWhat We Do in the Shadows (both movie and TV show)Sin City (referenced for character design)Buffalo 66" (referenced for trailer music)MusicKing Crimson ("In the Court of the Crimson King")Gentle Giant ("Octopus" album)Straubs (band)Yes (band)Follow Josh Forbes at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestjoshforbes/IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1141362/?ref_=tt_ov_drThanks as always...

It's that time of year again! It's mid October. The leaves are turning, there's a chill in the air and the whole world smells pumpkin spice, which, oddly, smells neither like pumpkin or spice, but what can you do? Regardless, all that stuff adds up to two very important things! It's time for our annual Halloween spectacular, and Target has already put up its Christmas shit. Well, tough toenails Target! We're sticking with Halloween up to, well,  Halloween, which is really just the night before the countdown to next Halloween, so there! Aaron Lee is with us today. He is what you'd call a fellow traveler. A horror movie nerd, comic book fan and The Cramps devotee who has come to unburden his sympatico soul with us. Aaron is a hilarious writer who's been an essential writer on, among others, Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, the upcoming TED TV and so many more. But it's Halloween, so we're talking monsters, with Aaron Lee. Also, my very dear friend Bill Corso is here. Bill is one of the most famous and successful make-up men in Hollywood today. In addition to being the governor of the make-up branch of the Motion Picture Academy, he is also the personal make-up artist of Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford and so many others. Here to talk latex, glue and other fun things to sniff, it's Bill Corso!  True Tales From Weirdsville is going to take you down to the basement and unearth the down and the dirty in the world of James Warren Publications, which gave the world Creepy Magazine, Eerie, Magazine, Vampirella Magazine and, of course, Famous Monsters Of Filmland Magazine. It's the weird and wonderful world of James Warren and Forrest Ackerman, two dudes who could not be more different if they tried to be.

"Bill, there's a scene where The Blob attacks a woman who's in a 'phone booth and it covers the 'phone booth, it crushes the 'phone booth and here and then it goes on the sidewalk and goes into a gutter and disappears into this sewer." I'm just looking at him and I go…"Okay." And he says "Figure out how to do that scene!" I was, like "Well, what IS The Blob?" He goes "I don't know…you come up with something. Come up with 5 things and I'll pick one." That was it. That was my first day Bill who? Pardon our manners. We're talking about Emmy and Academy Award winner, Bill Corso, makeup designer extraordinaire, whose credit list is mind-boggling. We talk about respect and the future of our industry, which is mainly what this episode is about. There are full-on makeups being done digitally now, but they're being done by people who are not makeup artists. Bill's push is that more makeup people do get involved. Rarely is the makeup department consulted when digital modifications are employed which affect makeup so Bill has taken the step of formulating the Digital Makeup Group to address the absence of the makeup artist in the digital process. This is a great episode for those looking to get into the industry! Many thanks as always for your time checking the stuff out.

‘Mars. The Red Planet. Its true name…is Barsoom.' ☄️ On the first episode of The Barsoom Podcast, producer Albert Chessa delves into his boundless (and, as the years pass, ever-increasing) kinship with Edgar Rice Burroughs' genre-pioneering work, without which the likes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Dune, Valerian and even The Lord of the Rings would either never have happened, or become as popular they did, by making liberal use of its source material: concepts, aesthetics and themes that went on to shape our popular culture as as we know it (e.g. Jeddak/Jedi). With 2012's underrated masterpiece as our springboard, we'll examine one minute at a time, exploring a range of related and adjacent subjects and tangents, analysing each frame's symbolic and formal qualities, and speculating on what Barsoom's future may hold. Albert ponders on the sheer weight of responsibility that writer-director Andrew Stanton — a future guest of the show, Issus-willing (along with Michael Giacchino, Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Haden Church, Ryan Church, Michael Kutsche, Vance Kovacs and many more) — his crew, and his cast must have felt during development, draws parallels and highlights polarities with the current reception of Dune, and concludes with a preview of the multi-year audiovisual journey that awaits listeners and viewers of the show going forward. A special thanks to Bill Corso, creator of Barsoom's intricate traditional cultural patterns and Academy Award-winning makeup designer, for your kind support. We look forward to having you on the show some day soon. This episode is dedicated to friend-of-the-show Icechewer21 — its Jasoomians like you who are the reason I have faith we'll all return to Barsoom some day soon.

Half man, half wolf, total terror! After having a run in with a werewolf in the jungles of Borneo, Uncle Ted (Michael Paré) returns to the states having been unable to cure himself of his lycanthropy. In a last ditch effort to use The Power of Love™ as a means to rid himself of his lethal lunar activities, he shacks up with his sister Janet (Mariel Hemingway), her son Dennis the Menace (Mason Gamble), and all-around good boy Thor, their faithful German Shepard. Things of course don't go according to plan and Uncle Ted finds himself barking up the wrong tree and face-to-face with the mighty pack protector, Thor.Director Eric Red brings to life arguably the best werewolf ever put to film by way of Steve Johnson and Bill Corso, in an excellent adaptation of Wayne Smith's novel. Joining us is C.B. Smith from ‘Taking a Page' and our ongoing sub-series ‘Book to the Movie' to shed some light on the novel ‘Thor' and how it stacks up for a wild werewolf bar mitzvah of an episode!Grab your maximum-security high-tempered steel handcuffs and make sure to lock yourself up before sundown, because every moon is a Bad Moon!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

https://battleswithbitsofrubber.com/ It’s Halloween. A Saturday! A full moon! Also not happening because of Covid. Boo. It’s a damn shame, but I imagine around the world, a lot more horror movies will be watched. I can only hope such mass consumption will drive production to make more stuff as we burn through the back catalogue of shows with a worldwide captive audience. Cutting Edges On appliances, a cutting edge is often employed to mark the boundary of where appliance stops and real skin should begin. With foam and gelatine, the end of the piece was the end of the piece. With silicone appliances, we usually have a cap plastic barrier which extends beyond the silicone edge to provide that nice, melt-to-nothing transition. However, on a lot of flat moulds, we have seen varying takes on how far away a cutting edge should be from the sculpt. We chat about that! Cap Plastic On The Back Of A Piece We also chat about cap plastic on the back of pieces. Usually necessary when a mould and a core is involved, but there are some reasons why it is desirable to not have cap plastic on the back of a piece. For one, often when removing the appliance, the cap plastic will stick better to the skin because of the glue than it does to the back of the appliance. This ‘delamination’ means it takes longer to clean up and can be a pain. Why cap plastic the back at all? Usually two reasons. One reason is deadened/softened silicone is very sticky, so the barrier makes it possible to handle the piece during demoulding. The other is to allow ‘cheaper’ water-based adhesives (as opposed to the more expensive silicone adhesives) to bond better to the piece. Let’s not forget that silicone is a material much used for moulds precisely because not much sticks to it. Including most glues and makeup. By having a barrier on the surface which is not actually silicone at all, but cap plastic, suddenly a whole world of things can be used on the makeup and blendable edges are possible. The sheer joy! So, when running flat pieces, now I don’t bother with cap plastic on the back. I did it, like many do, out of habit and seeing it down without really asking myself why it was necessary. By spraying more cap plastic on the back, we essentially double the edge thickness and it’s an extra step in the job. We talk through some notions of why it can be a problem, and how one might get around it. Podcast recommendation Check out a great podcast I just discovered via Kiana ‘Freakmo’ Jones called Red Carpet Rookies. In particular, episode #5 with Bill Corso talking about digital makeup. It’s a great show done by someone who cares about the subject, and I’d add it to your podcast subscriptions if you dig film chat. So, getting the horror on with audio books to keep us spooked during the workshop hours…Salem’s Lot and the The Exorcist was a double bill which put me in the right mood for some Halloween Horror Movies this weekend. Sculpting a vampire face whilst listening to William Peter Blatty read Regan’s tirades at Father Karras felt like a peak moment of Halloween fun. --------------------------------------------------- Many thanks as always for your time checking the stuff out.

January 13, 2019 - While at IMATS LA, I had the opportunity to speak with Oscar- and Emmy-winner Bill Corso about his work on the Deadpool films. What a thrill and an honor to speak with such an incredible makeup artist!

3D printing is having an effect on the way things are made. This episode talks about what those things are, how it benefits us all and how you can get involved. Chris Dombos knows a thing or two about 3D printing, and he is also a massive FX nerd so we got on rather well. Having met him first at LA IMATS in Jan 2017 (I discovered he had some of the original Lost Boys moulds), it made sense to catch up when he came over to London recently. Of course, I figured bring the mic and make a podcast out of it. We recorded in a cemetery in London, so there are background noises. The whole gamut of life - cars, sirens, passing people, kids, birds in the sky, aircraft, wind – it’s all there in a place of the dead. It's all background, our audio is clear and we chatted about a number of great topics which matter to anyone who makes things. This includes: There have been a number of auctions as big FX shops started scaling down! This means that the larger shops have all but disappeared but more smaller operations opening up. Props Store London https://propstore.com/ Importance of design and the danger of generic, the process informing the look. Occulus Medium: https://www.oculus.com/medium/ Cost of CAD programs - the free and the fortunes. Digital sculpting revealing an artists lack of anatomical understanding, and how an understanding of form is essential to good sculpture regardless of the medium – clay or pixels. Costs or materials v digital process. It exists as a process, will only get better. The increased incident of joined up thinking, and how digital FX uses a team to create what would have been the job of one person, teams fitting together. For practical FX this wider collaboration is a new thing. We also mention some great artists.
