ALRIGHT STRAP IN MOTHERFUCKERS HERE WE GOÂ
*Killer croc wasnât makeup. It was a full silicone mask, and was executed so terribly that the actor was unable to move his face or speak properly, which was one of the reasons pretty much every one of his scenes was cut.
*Enchantress was almost cgi, nothing ground breaking about her apart from a bit of dirt makeup
*Diablo wasnât bloody hand painted. It was damn temporary tattoos that they print out then just apply every day
*Whether or not you personally liked it, harley and jokerâs makeup looks were completely lazy, unoriginal, and possibly the most universally hated designs in film history
*joel harlow and his team at star trek beyond created incredible works of art. They designed over 56 UNIQUE alien species. Meticulously, intricately, and beautifully crafted and applied.
*Practicality was a main focus point when they were designing these creatures - they did many tests to make sure the actors could move comfortably and still express themselves through heavy prosthetics, so that it looks real. The same time and thought was NOT put into killer croc. They slapped a mask on him and said done.
âEach of those designs presented its own set of challenges,â said Harlow, âbe it translucency, weight, durability, movement, density, the color schemes, contact lenses, dentures, whatever it was. They all had their own challenges that we needed to rise to to execute them. We ended up using, essentially, everything that we had ever used on any film for Star Trek Beyond.â
*Lead technician and prosthetic artist Lenny MacDonald even /developed new groundbreaking makeup products/ in order to achieve the look they wanted. They used iridescent pigments used in printing currency to use on some characters so they could create an otherworldly look.
*Idris Elbaâs character had fibre optics embedded into the prosthetics so they could create beautiful and different light effects.
*They also developed new products that could last all day on set, that had never been seen in hollywood before.
*Star Trek Beyondâs makeup effects were stunning feats that produced work and effects that have never before been seen in hollywood.
*The people who vote for the winners of the academy awards are not experts in the subject categories. Film critics and actors vote for who has the best makeup. They /donât even have to have seen the films they are voting for/
*One of the ladies who voted for the makeup category said in an interview that she didnât even get to see the entirety of Star Trek Beyond, and that the official oscars screener copy she had, cut out halfway through and this was never fixed.
*The PRODUCER OF SUICIDE SQUAD was one of the people who got to vote for the film to win the award.
So we have people who know fuck all about makeup voting for the makeup award, who donât even have to have watched what theyâre voting for. The makeup in suicide squad was lazy, unoriginal, and poorly executed. It is insulting to artists like Joel Harlow and Richard Alonzo and the rest of the incredible artistic team behind Star Trek Beyondâs unprecedented, innovative, and frankly stunning makeup, to give this award to suicide squad. And much more to say that it was deserved. It was not.
