That’s why I don’t watch too many movies any more. Yes, movies created experiences that are hard to come by. but if we try so hard to make fake scenes to simulate real ones, it creates uncanny valley effect.
Amazing ❤ 🤯
It’s amazing but my god, the sounds are grating on my ears
How do I start in a job like this ?
Thanks for a great interview, new at this at 55 years, going into a different type of horror show,but you my ideas and sets, design, so forth. Absolutely loved the way you made it seem so easy.
0:50 She casually just has a corpse in her studio
As an art conservator I'm so fascinated how this lady's profession is pretty much the opposite of what I'm doing 👌🏻😄
What an easy job.
I apologise… for all the movie enthusiasts like myself…for noticing all those details and making that job such a headache. Your work is appreciated deeply❤
Ha!! That shirt was always curious to me.😂 Like…what did he do? Does he get to take that off set and use it?😂 Very good job
Do not watch while eating.
You really can’t mess up a job like this
This is fascinating! The part about when they had to do two versions, one with dried blood and one with still wet, because the filming was out of order is so interesting.
Just a niche specialization, hardly impressive.
Ohhhh… so you're saying they're not actually getting shot and cut until they bleed
I don't know much about dried guts but that looks pretty real to me lol. That's pretty awesome!
seriously, how do i get this job?
THERES A JOB FOR THAT??? I would be a natural as a complete klutz 😂
I want this job fr
She would be a cool mom to have to help with your Halloween costumes!
Hatts off.
Great job.
You don't destroy clothes because every paint and resin are washable. Every paint, fake blood in water based are washable. You can't cheat the laws of chemistry. you are throwing away the clothes unnecessarily. It would be no problem removed in clothes. 😉
She’s awesome
THIS IS SO COOL
make a video on how to make the demogorgon costume

For the bullet holes, i'm surprised they don't use a special squib that creates the explosion they want, but leaves behind a smaller hole.
Please make a video about costumes and tactical equipment for movies and TV
Ahhh…the subtle art of "disastering" costumes.
I’d adore this job. I love drawing damaged outfits, imagine being able to destroy actual ones?
Amazing
I want this job…
Why not just slap the clothes onto a stunt man and make them wrestle something in the dirt and run through some bramble for a bit? Or just take the clothes to a gun range, slap the clothes onto a mannequin and shoot it?
My dream job!!!!!
I WANT THIS JOB ;D
Sooooo interesting
One of my dream jobs.
i thought actors just rolled in dirt, sweat a lot and pour blood on themselves to match the scenes
This was interesting
Shoot, I want that job. I'm great at taking things apart
This is a job I honestly didn't even consider would exist OMG
