And the dream continues, as does my work on Too Hot to Handle — Remembering Ghostbusters 2. For this leg of the project I found myself pulling teeth out of my fist when the idea of “Could we do severed heads leaking slime, maybe with some animation?” To which I said “Hey I could build them practically and shoot it here!” Couldn’t bite my hand fast enough.
I proceeded to sketch, and sculpt, and model, and bore out, and sand, and pack out with tubing to let slime flow through. Yes. I volunteered for this.
Despite my tone, this project was immense fun and impossibly challenging. As it is with most productions, it’s best when you see the final project, so I won’t show any of the raw footage — and shouldn’t show anything final prior to release!
Hopefully these stills from test shots and the like suffice.
It remains that if you could tell my 5 year old self — that terrified kid in a theater seeing GB2 — that one day I would be making these creepy heads in my basement…?
