Wow! You go girl! I just yesterday downloaded a bunch of photos from Avatar to try and duplicate them! Love your head piece too. Which paints did you use? Comparing yours to the photos of the actors, yours is amazing. The ones from the movie have a bit more purple in the dark lines and I think a bit of sea foam in the highlights. But, just how far do you even WANT to take recreating something? Again, good job! I am even more inspired to get my tush moving and paint these guys on someone now. - Lilly Walters, 909-398-1228 Henna Tattoo Artist, Face and Pregnant Belly Painter, in Claremont, La Verne, Upland, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga, San Dimas and Glendora www.funfacepainting.com Books and Face Painting Classes http://www.funfacepainting.com/book.html |

Mandi,
Do you ever do anything OTHER than facepainting? YOU are AMAZING!!
I am going to ask a thing that kids ask me -
How did you paint your face...especially the eyeballs. It's hard for me to paint
on my eyes when my eyes are CLOSED. You must have extra eyes on your face!
Kudos!

I used wolfe light blue and wolfe metallic blue for the background with a little metallic white to highlight the lighter areas.
Brown, yellow, white and black wolfe for the band.
I just kept my eyes very slightly open and it was hard, and I think if I was working on someone else and could actually see what I was doing they would have turned out better.
I paint alot of things, mostly just weird stuff like refurbishing thrift store finds. I like wooden things, and using acrylics. Nothing that every made me any real money till I found face painting. Murals made me a little once a year or so when I could convince someone to get one done.
Thanks for the compliments.
Oh and I am friggin cold here in FL, we had SNOW today. SNOW! What the heck!!
my fingers are numb right now inside my house with the space heaters on. so cold.

I'm hoping to see the movie this Sunday. Avatar. In 3-D.
All excited to see the Mandi-face there.

I saw it. The body-painting and the colors were excellent.
I wished I took photos or something - to have the ones with the roughly painted war-paint
over the smoothly painted costume paint.
Wow - I wonder who/how got that job of painting all those actors.
But actually,
many of the bodies were so much the same size and shape,
that I wonder if they even did have so many bodies painted
or if they used some sort of cinematic splicing or something......

There was a show on the other day about the making of this movie. I wasn't watching it intently, but catching bits and pieces as I went room to room and I think they were describing how they used the actors real body movements and facial reactions to create it. I think it was some sort of computer animation.

LOL yes it was all CGI - when you look at the movie their proportions are all wrong.
I expect they did it like Gollum in LOTR - had the actors in those suits with dots on against special screens. Cameras/ computers track the dots movements and they convert it to match the joints/ muscles on the CGI bodies. So looks amazingly lifelike.

Actually, that is exactly what they did. I watched an HBO special about it and the way they did it was cool!
Not only did they use the same type of motion capture technology that they used for golem in LOTR, they used some new technology that allowed the producer to view the scenes on his viewer as it would be scene in the movie! It was so cool to see!
The actors would be standing on the set acting out the scene with the CGI suit and motion capture dots all over their bodies, but what the director was seeing was the computer generated Na'vi...right there! So instead of doing the filming and then waiting for the post production CGI work, the computer was creating it as the actors were acting! How cool was that!
The only bummer is that the colors for the Na'vi were computer generated so we FP-ers have to try to come up with as close a color match as the products available to us will allow.
