Air Brush Inks Ventilation - A really neat trick, especially in an inclosed make-up trailer, is to take a 2 ft.X 2 ft. box fan and tape a 2 ft. X 2 ft. A/C filter over the exhaust side of the fan. Place the fan behind the area to be sprayed so it draws the overspray into the filter. This is especially effective around the face as well as on other areas of the body so the overspray is "sucked up" and the actor is not affected.
"WATER WORLD" presented many challenges. One of the major challenges was to come up with a make-up that would last on Dennis Hopper's "Smokers" in the ocean. Fred knew what to use and after showing the producers that this could be done, they gave him the green light to set up a laboratory on location to research, develop and manufacture REEL Body Art Inks specificically for this production. Every day we were able to 'tweak' the product on 75 stuntmen (our animal testing) until we achieved our goal and bring REEL Body Art Inks to perfection.
Dennis Hopper's make up was designed and created by Thomas Burman, (along with John Chambers, make-up artist on the original "Planet of the Apes") and rendered by Mr. Blau using REEL Creations Products.
The tattoo on Tina Majorino, "ENOLA", was created by REEL CREATIONS using the wet process (silk screening on to the skin).
