How To Make a Realistic Horror Skull Prop!

[@tested]

Wanting to make more horror props? In this video, Frank Ippolito shows you how to make a gory hand prop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIG2Xopsjr95mJY

[@kevinrethier233]

Does it matter the type of latex you use? I didnt realize there was so many types. Thanks

[@Yuuuuk10]

bro you guys made it so complicated just bring a flame thrower to the park🥱

[@johnlatham4889]

speaking as a firefighter, with several fatality fires under my belt, this effect looks scarily realistic, it was more realistic without the black wash at the end, but still.. scarily realistic

[@woodlandgamers8611]

john latham Thank you for your service.

[@cerethpainting6606]

Totally agree! I’m glad your out there, but sorry for what you’ve had to endure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@spicypancake104]

One of my relatives is actually a retired fire chief

[@lucassacdalan8427]

Thanks for your service. Now I know what not to add to the skull when I make this based on your info. : )

[@3nertia]

There's not a char to the skin or does the skin just completely melt off by the time someone dies in a fire? There aren't charred bits left?

[@josephdavis2695]

I love listening to him attempt to describe his process when you can tell that it essentially just comes down to him saying "Experiment, have fun, play and do what looks good to you". Frank rules.

[@formfollowsfunction8365]

One thing that you could also do is before you apply the black coat do a spray over with clear spray resin which will give the flesh a wet look and help pop the color more then when you apply the black for the chard burnt look it gives it a bit of a juxtaposition of wet underline flesh with dry chard flesh. Great tutorial and thx.

[@skoue4165]

A good trick that we do in makeup is to add colors in the latex itself. Food color works well and what you get are layers of color that are semi transparent so it is deep layerd.

[@hazonku]

Glad Frank mentioned using tissue paper. I always go with a combo of tissue & cotton to get that perfect separation between skin/random flesh & muscle. I also like to use cut up paper plates or thin poster board for skull fractures. For an extra fun twist fill said fracture with dyed oatmeal smothered in corn syrup & randomly pick it off your head & eat it in front of people. For edible wet ends on torn limbs, I recommend a combo of the same trick with the addition of Fruit by the Foot or other fruit wrap candy sheets. Horrifyingly ugly, deliciously sweet.

[@ImJustBo]

"At some point it starts to look less like a skull and more of a head." "That's... that's kinda the point."

[@stillhuntre55]

Great video! Seems like something even I could do! Love how Norm keeps "regrounding" the artsy dialogue to maintain the sequence of steps. As a newbie (and this tutorial seems geared to newbies given the easy techniques and common materials), I find pros can busily work on a project and forget to talk about it, or talk in very vague terms.... They're almost *too* familiar with it. Thanks Norm!!

[@TheBorgCollective]

"How long do you have to work with the latex?" "Until it starts drying" Who'd have thought?

[@iangreen4572]

I think he meant " how long? " in terms of minutes

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

Nate S My experience with liquid latex is it dries in about 20-30 minutes....faster with dryer of coarse

[@michaelherndon9573]

Lmao

[@Kriterian]

It is hard to quantify the time it takes to dry because it's based on how thick the latex is applied. The thinner it is the quicker it will dry and vice versa.

[@j.s.connolly8579]

You can also use pieces of rubber/latex glove to create hanging "Fleshy" parts. I have experimented with various materials to create fake dried skin and muscles and I have used fine cloth fabrics and thin sheet latex to give some VERY realistic looks!

"Your lips are actually a sphincter" - Frank Ippolito, 2015

[@RFC3514]

[@c0pyimitati0n]

You can also use plastic wrap, a heat gun, and wood stain to get this effect.

[@zombiez8mybrainz]

I have made these before, just as he is the video, however I added latex paint (brownish colors) to my liquid latex to tint the base of the flesh to the base color I wanted. Saved tons of time when painting.

[@FoliverFoden]

The finished product looked like the night mothers head in Skyrim...

[@MrTheblackopsdude]

Now got leave it in the woods somewhere

[@eonprimicus]

+Fruit Loops put a go pro inside it, and when people walk around in the woods, hide up in the trees and just drop it.

[@rickh3714]

Keep trespassers off your property. Out of sight of the road and other neighbours etc place skull in areas like compost heaps, below the fence (where thieves might climb over!) Place bullet holes and crossbow bolts for added effect! Occasionally add rotting pet food etc when available (if you are far enough away from neighbours) Might be advisable to inform the local cops what your new property protection scheme entails- so you don't get bluelight alarm calls at 3am in the Morning from your local S.W.A.T or AOS unit intent on finally finding the local serial killer!

Gabe Escobar Also, what the fuck do expect? Can you imagine working intently for more than twenty minutes with this? 12:35 Norm says the most obvious shit over and over again that it's fucking unbearable, I wouldn't have the patience to deal with it. Frank talks about the angling tissue and making anatomic muscle groups play a part, and then Norm says "this is tissue," WELL NO SHIT DUMBASS! He's an idiot, and if you want proof watch the cardboard VR video, he is a complete dumbass.

Red Iron Oxide is a great blood color, especially dried blood. You can add a touch of a transparent red to make it look more like fresh blood.

[@RaeCarson]

"Fresher"??? HAHAHA. I believe the terms Frank is looking for are "less dessication" and perhaps "newly dead". XD Thank you for agreeing to be on this channel, dude! I positively adore this tutorial but for one thing -- Chan. He's kinda annoying and in the way during this tutorial. I recognize the fact he's there to ask questions that we, the audience, would wish to know and to facilitate continued interest. Usually I dig his "twerpy younger brother" vibe, as I think it's kinda charming. This time, however? Mebbe in a different video have him actually build his own beginner [version of what's being done] alongside the actual artiste? Anyway, thank you again for such a great video treat!

[@ashawheeler3746]

I like the build his own skull idea. It would be interesting to watch both take shape at the same time. Also he would ask questions differently because he would see the situation in a hands on action way. ..... I would have added a light dry brush with red at the end around the Frontal and Temporal lobes for a more realistic look.

[@RaeCarson]

Asha Wheeler I would've added just 2-3 washes of yellow, probably between the brown and red washes to give it more depth. I also would like to do the final touches like you suggested -- only with paints with a higher gloss finish to give it that "fresher" essence that Frank mentioned. :)

[@blackhagalaz]

Thanks for this awesome video! I am actually redoing this right now, with a 12Euro Resin Skull from China, some Cotton and Latex. As an Archaeologist I am pretty fascinated with prehistoric preservation techniques of corpses, like different methods of mummification, but also recent forms of ritural modification of human remains... well... and I admit that I am just one of this weird people who have always had an obsession with all kind of morbid stuff. I am just creating my first "Mummy-Skull", for my kind of "19th Century-Stile Cabinet" at home, and it comes really handy, that I am having a seminar right now at an Institute for Forensic Medicine. I will definately hand this tutorial to some of my coleques, from whom I know that they would love to redo it!

[@RonRay]

Too much black on the end process. You had it perfect until you "rubbed" the black all over. The black should have been applied sparingly on the outside fringes (showing red underneath), just like real burned flesh would appear. Other than that, great job!

[@o.x.x]

Frank is amazing. I love watching a true professional.

[@CATS-pm2io]

Lol I know right 😂

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

Unless it is painted you could make an old mummy out of it as well, that is a really versatile base strucutre :) Thank you for sharing!

[@sirderpington7704]

a cheaper latex for a lower budget is Elmer's glue. works about the same. just have a hairdryer or a heat gun. if you push the heat gun real close to the glue it will bubble up and give you a nice burn-looking thing.

[@sharonwilbourne7256]

If you are using the standard type or regular Elmer's Glue you would need to keep the skull from getting wet. Regular Elmer's Glue is water soluble. Instead make sure to use Elmer's Glue All because it has components in it similar to latex which makes it impervious to water. By using the standard or regular Elmer's Glue as the sticking component, if it gets wet it might run or melt off unless it is completely sealed.

[@sentinelmoonfang]

I love latex and cotton balls for my corpse faces because I can sculpt it, but when it comes to big coverage, like the torso especially nothing beats plastic dropcloth and a heat-gun.

[@Mwstmrlnd]

That means he's doing his job. I don't think his background is entertainment, he approaches videos more like a journalist and comes prepped with questions and is constantly asking questions for the purpose of helping the audience understand what's going on. He can only pay attention so much to what's happening -- he does have to make a video too. It's not as easy as we think.

[@donovangilbert7180]

He's just asking questions to make it obvious for the audience to know what Frank is doing, and what his technique is. He's basically conducting an interview, and that's his job. To ask questions, and to try and make certain things obvious

[@TomWDW1]

He's fine ... but in reality, he has little chemistry with the people he interviews/works with. He is not a natural on-camera guy.

[@jaybrewster2475]
