Special Fx &
Prosthetic Makeup
..............................................
BY PANDA COOPER
Having trained internationally in SFX and prosthetic makeup courses, I have worked on independent productions as well as feature films. My Bristol studio is where I make, sculpt, and paint most prosthetics for my clients. It's my ultimate joy to transform people into creatures and characters from other worlds, incorporating fantasy, myth and real life references into my designs. My creativity also comes with finding unique ways of being able to suit a variety of budgets so get in touch with what you're hoping to achieve
After training on the Oscar Award winning makeup artist, Peter Swords King's course at Bath Academy of Media Makeup, learning realistic special FX makeup, wound and injury simulation for HD TV and film was an essential part of our training. These skills can be transferred to medical training purposes, halloween makeups, zombie runs, media, immersive events and more. Burns, scars, blisters, ageing, blad caps, blood gore, bruises etc, alongside the character breakdown and healing (or not!) process for continuity

When Sophie and James got in touch and asked if I would be involved in their project I leapt at the opportunity.
Filming solely on PYTCH studios incredibly technical 180ª LED screen, this short film was filmed in 2 days and was one of the kindest and most supportive shoots I've worked on to date. Below are some additional images from the shoot. Creature Actor: Malik Ibheis
