Ben Trandem also works on things

I figured since Mike has been running his mouth about all his projects I'd chime in with the weirdo projects I've been working on.

First up is Health Freaks. It's a Troma-ish mutant attack film. Here's the mypsace page. A few of the mutants I did are in the trailer. I didn't do all the effects though so it's interesting to see mine mixed in with others. Mostly I did quick greeny mutant makeups and a few of the more elaborate gore scenes. It is also was a fun shoot to do as the "Troma way" of filming is get it, got it?, no, still good.

Currently working on a film called Fiend in the Family doing some applications and gore effects. Haven't been on set yet but have been coloring and adjusting makeup applications.

And eventually I'll be helping out, possibly directing, this show:

If you can't figure out what it's about from the teaser... well I can't really figure it out and I'm in the know. You'll just have to wait till the pilot appears.

I'll update with some pics of the Fiend in the Family makeups after this weekends big shoot with Charles Hubbell.

Here's the update with makeup on Charles Hubbell and Director/Minion David Mumbleau.
Some applying the mask on Charles shots.

Makeup progression on Charles.

And the final look with myself.

And David's build up.

Got to have that heroic shot with blood and guns.

And just for good measure Lance shouldn't be allowed in the makeup kits.

What film is that the maekup is being done for? I like the second makeup Its quite a different look than most zombie-like creatures.

It's a short called Fiend in

It's a short called Fiend in the Family. The creatures are called minions in the script and are more like demons from hell than zombies. Although I will be doing a zombie makeup this coming weekend for the short. Should be interesting.

Hopefully he looks better in

Hopefully he looks better in motion though. If you look at the 8th picture in there you can see he has a big chunk of fleshy meat on his right cheek. That piece falls off as he's looking over a sleeping woman. I'm really interested to see that footage when they get to editing.

A new update. Just posting

BenT - Wednesday, July 2, 2008 - 21:21

A new update. Just posting some sweet pics from a slew of projects I've been shooting at my new day job. The videos themselves are in a stage I'll call "seeking a sponsor" but no harm in showing off some of the zaniness. And the first set is really zany. The second is more common humor. The third is just a midwestern oddity. And finally what you all came for the HORROR! They're linked out because they were all shot in 1080i and I only shrunk them down to 720p size to keep some of the detail.
