FX FRIDAY - “Freshly Dead” Tutorial
It’s FX FRIDAY, where we bring you a brand new how-to video every week throughout October. In this episode, Jef Porkins shows us some of the fundamentals of makeup FX then demonstrates how to create a “freshly dead”.
sweet! love the product tips as I want to invest in some higher grade paint but didn’t know which of the many wheels to go with, and now I know exactly what to look for. The stipling tip is awesome - I would have never thought of that for burst blood vessels. I’ve got my first paying job in the entertainment industry working at New Orleans’ premiere haunted house The Mortuary through November. I just met the chief makeup artist today, and because it’s my first year on staff, they’ll probably have me on acting duty most of the time (as a zombie duh!) and it’s pretty damn cool how my real-life learning of makeup/fx will coincide with this e-tutoring.
Awesome, just the kind of stuff we need leading up to halloween! The freshly dead look is good, but I hope we’ll see some gorier makeup techniques too.
Good stuff Jeff! Great shadowing effects. Will this be the first of more to come?

Don’t worry - the theme is FX Friday after all, so there will be more coming next week.
Thanks a heap for all the nice comments. I really loved doing this one.
Yes, more to come!
Hey, George, what do you want to see? I was planning on going over flesh wounds, compound fractures and possibly bite marks. Were you thinking of gory stuff like that?
