Richard Arm came into talk to us about the methods and materials of being able to cast objects and people to then made a piece of prop or masks.
He talked to us about the different materials that you would need for a particular type of cast and how the processes of those worked, also the types of things that a particular method could produce so what you would need if you wanted to cast someone's face compared to if you wanted to cast a small object.
5 ways of making moulds:
-open
-split
-plug
-skin
-multi-piece
He talked to us what each type of mould would be use for and how you would cast these and also the materials you would need to cast this.
condensation cure is a casting method that uses materials that release molecules to be able to dry such as multi-purpose silicone. Addition cure works in a different way to this, it is a platinum based compound as apposed to tin based like the previous. This allows it to be more stable.
there are 3 types of casting:
-general purpose
-clear
-gel
texture and colour can be added to the general purpose cast to create a effect of material eg types of stone.
This video shows how layers of resin can be build up and painted on as separate layers.
