Thread: Foam Skull videos

Tweet

After I started this project I decided to make a video so it begins a little late but you can imagine the first step. Wood, skull, silicone. Here are pics of the final project:



And here is where I started to record. I will add more videos as I get them edited. It's fast but easy to understand. See you after the next edit!

Just a quick question. What is the pink stuff over the skull in the first video? You never really said. But looks great so far.

I know this might sound unappreciative , but , I think it would have helped a LOT more , if you did a little talking/speaking/explaining what it was , that you were doing and to what ?
I , myself , had absolutely no idea as to what it was you were doing at steps one and two ( video one and video two )
Like was just asked ... what was the pink stuff ? Was that your skull you were making a master mold from ? Mixing plastic ? What plastic ?

Wheres the "plastic" come in ?

Sorry , not sure about others here ... but I am sooooo far lost in the woods here with this tutorial .
Any chance we could get you to give a verbal video telling us what your doing/done ? and to what ?

Thanks . Again , I am sorry , but I have no idea as to what you were doing , or why .
I like the l;ooks of the finshed product and would really like to know how its done .

Thanks and hope to see a little more detailed/descriptive video .

So that's how you stay in shape....moving at an unnatural pace lol

Man, my head is still spinning lol

I have to agree with the boogieman. If you don't know what you are doing or have never done it before (like me) it is a bit difficult to follow.

Hahahaha, all excellent questions! Sorry to be so vague. All the pink stuff is silicone. It comes pink. There is already a layer on the skull, that’s why I started the thread with “I started a little late”. The application of the silicone layer in the video is blue because I tinted it so you can see the coverage of each new layer. Pink, blue, pink...

After the silicone has cured, I trim the excess and mix the plastic for the jacket. The plastic is plasti-paste II from smoothon. Keep in mind I have only done three things, Silicone, dividing clay wall and plastic jacket. I understand about wanting to hear what’s going on but really nothing more than what is shown. I am happy to answer questions. Sorry about not starting the video from the beginning, my bad. I will try to correct this in the future.

I knew there was a reason I have never made a tutorial yet, I suck at it. I took your advice and narrated over this one. Thank you for the feed back and advice on how to make this better, I am learning. Please keep the advice coming, I appreciate it all very much.

Love the narration over the video. Very helpful videos, thanks.

Wow what a difference a deep calm rich voice makes along with some gentlier background music!

Much better, thanks Still dont understand a thing though so maybe you need to come to holland and give me some private tutoring

I have wanted to try to do something like this on my own for a while...not 100% sure how to get started...this has cleared some of those issues up for me, cant wait to see part 3 and how you clamp everything up for the final product. one question...is there going to be a bottom other than the board or is the skull just going to be flat on the bottom?

thanks from your neighbor on the west side of the sound.
