Building the Helmet




Anthony Jones has made the mold for the helmet. Here are some pictures of the process. I won't go into any detail about the process 'cause I'll just say stuff that's wrong.
But he used a very cool foam for the outside, which saved money and weight. And he's already struck one helmet from the mold.
It's very cool looking. Almost an organic shape to it. I think we're going to leave one of the helmets white just because that looks so nice.

Why does making special effects look like so much fun? Damn, I think I'm in the wrong occupation. Time to begin life as an SFX guy...

It's messy though. ;-)
