Hey All,

I am a Newb at all of this to please be kind. i am working on a project of mine, it is a Zombie Flick in the same breed of the 28 days/weeks films. and i had a question about the make-up used.

In Particular the Veins on his forehead. How would you achieve this?

the Fake Blood is NO problem, even the Contacts were no problem. this is a bugger though.



Thanks in advance
Marc

I was in make-up efx for many years - some pics

There are two ways this is done. Since films is a two dimensional
medium, veins like this can be simply painted on the actors face.
Using a mixture of black and red, draw the veins on the face then
with a lighter color highlight one side. This gives the illusion they
are raised above the skin.

The picture you linked could be a prosthetic. Several pieces (forehead,
cheeks, chin, neck) are sculpted in clay on a life model of the
actor, then cast in stone. A foam latex or gelatin appliance is made
and glued to the actor.
