44 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2023 addition, changing the actors from their look #1 to their look #2 and making sure their body doubles were done and changed over was an everyday challenge. Due to many big productions shooting at the same time, Quasi was prepping and filming and had shipping problems; lace facial hairpieces were very hard to come by. And since each of the main actors had to be changed out of one of their character looks into their second look quickly, laying hair was not time-effective for my team. erefore, lace facial hairpieces were hunted down and used with the occasional hand laying of hair for blending. Steve Lemme as Quasi/Jester & Kevin Heffernan as Duchamp: Henri-Francoise | Amy Sparks ❖❖ Prothetic hump on Quasi | Christopher Osorio, Karen Stein, Ken Niederbaumer and Heather L. Galipo To achieve Quasi's grimy, sweaty, un-groomed look, PPI Illustrator Grunge/Dirt Palette was used, along with Fleet Street Dirtworks and Aloe Gator Sunscreen for sweat. Additionally, the Bluebird FX Triage Palette, PPI Bloody Five Palette and Red Drum Blood were applied to create all his additional bruises and injuries. e hump was a foam latex prosthesis. Telesis, Pros-Aide cream and Beta Bond were used. Out of the Kit blenders helped transition the foam piece to skin. Pax/Skin Illustrator colors were used to blend the prosthesis/match skin tone. PPI Illustrator Grunge/ Dirt Palette, Fleet Street Dirtworks/Aloe Gator Sunscreen were used to tie together his grimy look. Finally, a custom-made port wine stain birthmark transfer was added to complete his look. e Krylon Aqua Color Palette was used to create the initial Jester look. PPI Skin Illustrator FX Palette, Bluebird FX Triage Palette, PPI Bloody Five Palette, along with burn transfers were used to create the injured/burned Jester look.

In addition, to create additional injuries, Bluebird FX Triage Palette, PPI Bloody Five Palette, Red Drum Blood and custom bruise transfers were added. ree prosthetic ball sacs were built for the Duchamp character. One was used to nail to a tree stump and for close-up shots. e two remaining ball sacs were made to stretch as much as possible while being nailed to the stomp. Opposite to Duchamp, the royal 13th-century medieval look for Henri Francoise was very groomed. A John Blake lace mustache and beard was applied with Telesis adhesive to achieve Henri's handsome look. Jay Chandrasekhar as King Gui/Blouin & Adrianne Palicki as Queen Catherine | Marina Proctor Fresh, natural and dewy was the look we wanted for our Queen Catherine.

Adrianne has around eight tattoos. Marina covered all vis- ible tattoos with Dura Temptu Airbursh make-up. King Gui was clean-shaven. Cold ice roller was massaged unto his face and under his eyes to help with puffiness.

HELP!!! I flew her in and we got all of the guys fitted and casted for wigs. We wanted to try our best to use as many of Stephanie's in- stock wigs/rentals as possible, as we didn't have the time to make customs. Altering in stock wigs, re-fronting and darting was our friend. We could stay on budget and save time! Also, since the Broken Lizards were playing duel roles, I wanted to try and have both of those roles in wigs that way, once out of the wigged look, they could quickly transition to the other look for which their natural hair was used. Kevin Heffernan as Duchamp/Henri-Francoise In addition to directing and being pulled in a million directions HAIR Continued from page 43
