[@FrankIppolito]

If you want more detailed insctuction on the gelatin prosthetic process, check out Stan Winston School's videos with Rob Burman. www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/prosthetic-makeup-basics-gelatin-facial-appliances-part-2

[@InXLsisDeo]

Frank Ippolito Thx to you and Norm for this excellent video.

[@vankrumelkeks6903]

Is it somehow possible to get some of them made for myself as a Service..? of course paid.

[@salbachir]

@@vankrumelkeks6903 if you get an answer let me know cause i need an ear made of selicone for my deffected ear thank you

[@BlobVanDam]

Norm is a well rounded nerd! I'm glad you're covering something Trek related to offset all of the Star Wars vids recently. :P

[@Tigerz_]

I like norm because he always understands and asks good questions

[@Aleph-Noll]

expert level sarcasm

[@isaacpopp]

Frank Ippolito episodes are always a joy to watch. You are a class act, my friend.

[@Meffmadness]

I love when Frank comes by and does effects. There should be more videos of him working

[@Gerald5000]

I love it when Frank does stuff. He makes it all look so easy.

[@godbelow]

That Dark Helmet is amazing. 21:48

[@Civatate0]

Way to go guys! As always, a joy to watch you all work! Thanks, Norm for being so thorough. Frank, your work is always amazing!

[@thestalkinghead]

i really enjoy watching and learning from talented people

[@Magnymbus]

Damn, as soon as he went out under those fluorescent lights, the gelatin became super transparent, more so than real ears. They looked so good outside and under the hotel/motel lights. DAMN YOU FLUORESCENCE! lol.

[@unfortunatedisgrace246]

It looks totaly awesome! But is the final pease realy just gelatin? And if so can I also use vegatable gelatin?

[@Bonzulac]

Seeing the final product, you can understand why Frank mentioned that it's preferable to sculpt the ears on the full head casting to check for symmetry, proportion and scale.

[@MrChief101]

You got some big ole ears, bud! The end result is over the top; really good. I think Frank was still under the weather-- I believe the ears were sculpted to be more upright. As applied, they are more wolfie. Still a lovely job.

[@dimitreze]

much better than Chaning Tatum's ears in Jupiter Ascending

[@RobRichman]

2:09 someone is peeking in the window!!!!!

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

Ezekiel Lyons Yeah, it was Spock - coming to take back his ears.

[@meghasinghania1]

I can't see lol!!

[@Groanola]

Look how much happier Norm is without that loud mouth guy next to him interrupting him lmao

[@DirceuCorsetti]

It is not just him!

[@robertnunziata2950]

It's not that norms better it's just his enthusiasm jumps out at you

[@chainmaillekid]

Its crazy how back-lighting the ears breaks the illusion so quickly from the translucence. Of course, actual ears can be translucent with strong enough back-lighting too, but in that case you see blood vessels and structure in the ear. I wonder if there's any shortcuts to emulate that. I imagine in film, where they have control of the lighting, they just wouldn't back-light it.

[@sjdpfisvrj]

"Oh great, now I can make myself Vulcan ear....." "You need to make a live cast of yourself." Yeah, nope. I appreciate the video, but I doubt there's a single person who made ears based on it.

[@KerWallis]

They mention that you only really needed to make casts of your ears

[@ladyoftimeandspace]

I am currently working on Denobulan (Star Trek Enterprise) prosthetics and I did make a live cast of my face and ears. So there is at least on person (me) who does that for an authentic project like that.

[@isEARTHman]

So Vulcans are space elves, nice

[@xnamkcor]

isEARTHman That or Space Jews.

[@katooga9749]

CORRECTION: autistic space elves

[@mvo9856]

Ever since this was posted I have been dying to make myself some elf ears but I can never afford the expensive materials used on tested. Today I was able to make a cast of my ear just by pressing some plastalina clay around my ear. Still figuring out what to fill it with. Hotglue made the plastalina melt so I am going to see if freezing the plastalina will help.

[@seancollett6]

How did you do the texturing? Pretty important step.

[@dadmakesstuff3568]

This is great! Tested should also do a head cast tutorial.

[@redjack9999]

Frank, I love the Atheist tee. Very subtle, I need one of those.

[@crystalheart9]

You looked awesome! I can do the right eyebrow raise and the Vulcan salute.🖖

[@TheBigBigBlues]

I would love a podcast of just norm talking Star Trek to himself.

[@Daehawk]

You make a great Vulcan. Man that Darkhelmet guy was like seeing Rick in the original day.

[@TonyDiCola]

Wow that turned out great, nice work!

[@Denizen-Unknown]

18:45 Great camera work, guys!

[@campshay19]

shouldve just went as sulu

[@nudl3Zz]

shay campbell because he is asian?

[@BJohnBlack]

nudl3Zz uhhh duhhh

[@godbelow]

+nudl3Zz You must be a rocket surgeon.

[@therizinosaurus214]

from a making of st 11 doc it looked like Quinto had silicon brows made and they put hair in those and placed the whole brow on Quinto

[@rjperkins365]

Frank's a genius you look great

[@robertnunziata2950]

I love these guy's just "super simple " molds .not for me it's not .I would be in trouble with all of this

[@Firmanonymous]

Eyebrows on FLEEK🔥

[@Clownboy15]

I have that same uniform from Anovos! I guess I got lucky when I ordered it. I had no idea at the time they were such a scammer company. It’s been nearly five years and I STILL have not gotten my Kirk bomber jacket!

[@DKB-HI]

We love Frank!

[@kyderdogd1559]

Your missing the twist on the top..Yours looks like elf ears... Check out Steve Neils ear creation he did Leonards ears for the 1st movie based on the classic series...

[@salbachir]

how would you make the mirror side from the good ear

[@jaxnean2663]

Fantastic job

[@xnamkcor]

Is it made of Vulcanised rubber?

[@ifunlyshow53]

I really like that you test to how make things☺

[@ijeremiah65]

Shouldn't your skin have a green tint from the Vulcan blood. Or is that just the original series Spock?

[@maxandstuff2768]

Def should, but that'd probably mean a green to t for his whole skin so, I get it

[@aeroyrhwrdd4314]

I like Chavant but I learnt the clay they use at Aardman is Non-sulphur too. Newplast. So for something small and hobbyist for cosplayers, Newplast is pretty cheap.

[@aeroyrhwrdd4314]

Going to add a few more brands for Alcohol-based makeup: Mr Dashbo, Bluebird FX and Jordane Cosmetics.

[@MarwaElsawy]

what's the difference between using silicon vs gelatin ?

[@hambalikayun4795]

What brand of glue that they use ?? thnks,,

[@wreckingball8881]

What is that finger tool at 8:49 that you're using?

[@FutureLaugh]

21:49 they are a bit see through in the daylight, what up with that?

[@salbachir]

are you guys in los angeles?

[@conanswordman]

Steve Neill has the molds of the ears Nimoy wore in Star Trek he has a KZbin channel check him out

[@thudeets]

Nice job.

[@kakakarper]

Somebody let out a fart 0:38 haha

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

kakakarper hahahahaha

[@AnthonyMalesys]

LOL nice catch !

[@FreeSpirit999]

Lol I had to rewind it by a few seconds and put my speakers all the way up but I heard it and I died laughing lmao He was tapping the table to cover it up 😂🤣😂

[@MsCrystallizee]

Super cool 👌

[@OHWRDAMI1]

Where did Frank Ippolito get that t shirt? I want one.

[@zer0b0t]

Will nerds one day mature and get over Star Wars and Star Trek stuff.

[@michaellauinger7406]

If you have to do a cast of your ear first, you would think that would be part of the instruction. People coming here for the first time don't know anything about that stuff. I don't know anything about that stuff. I don't know what to get, how to apply whatever has to be bought, or how to do it, Etc. Seems to me that's the initial most essential part of making the prop in the first place, so that should definitely be part of the included instruction.

[@kendokaaa]

That Dark Helmet cosplayer was hilarious

[@DizzPants]

Rip Spock. You were a half-descent actor who was quite frankly kinda overhyped. We will always remember you as the actor who potrayed Leonard Nimoy in Star wars. Ahh.... Sweet 90s. Btw. First!

[@DeathBringer769]

Frodo Baggins Any time I see a comment by a properly spelled fictional character, complete with accurate profile pic, it's nearly always a bad sign in terms of trolling...

[@DizzPants]

You sir. Are wrong. Im a big fan of Star Wars.

[@TheMijman]

Frodo Baggins *I'm Did you even go to school? Idiot!

[@DizzPants]

Because every keyboard got the same keys on them.

[@TheMijman]

Frodo Baggins Not a good excuse. Laughable excuse to be honest. And you were able to use it in other comments, so why not this time?

[@byNinjaz]

what event did you go to?

[@2dividedby3equals666]

KG WonderCon

[@MarCuseus]

KG It was mentioned more than once in the video... not to mention the name is right there in the description

[@nathanfolkes8119]

Norm was just featured in game theory's latest video as his Vulcan self

[@2004Minecraftfan]

Strar Trek to the top!

[@a1344]

Can anyone explain the part of glue not sticking on his ears if he has been drinking a lot of alcohol. Or was that meant to be a joke ?

[@Gerald5000]

bobo Yeah, that was weird. Wish he'd said why. Dried out skin from dehydration? Dunno.

[@andyfilms]

bobo The alcohol leeches out of your skin. You have to drink a LOT for it to become a problem. You know, like actors do.

[@a1344]

Thanks!!andyfilms and *****

[@KevinUchihaOG]

Can you teach us how to make LOTR elvish ears?

[@nudl3Zz]

Kevin Uchiha It's the same method

[@SuperBooshBaby]

nudl3Zz Huh, I never would have guessed... In that case then how about links ears from legend of zelda?

[@KevinUchihaOG]

Rowan Doughty Yeah wow, i wonder how to make links ears! Hmm, i wonder about eldar ears from warhammer 40k.

[@SuperBooshBaby]

Kevin Uchiha Those are the cone headed dudes right? Do they even have ears?

[@KevinUchihaOG]

Rowan Doughty Yeap, they look exactly like Elves under their helmets

[@kakarotjones5719]

dude be creepin in the back 2:07

[@MrSuperchicken95]

Oh norm

[@TheCODEIam]

so is there a way for those who dont have access to sylocone :( i dont even have much money and even the latex crap i have is so cheap its not even funny.

[@joannaangele6834]

Wow! Super! 😁👂

[@AlgisKemezys]

Cool

[@backstept]

It looks like Frank's shirt says 'ATHEIST' if anyone is curious. Neat graphical design.

[@chazz5560]

Seeing Mr. Sulu cosplaying as Spock was great, good job, John Cho! (lol jk)

[@FutureLaugh]

16:20 looking a little elvish. Maybe a Link from Zelda

[@pestvic5819]

2:09, who’s the creeper that looked into the window? Lol

[@pemo2676]

"Star wa- Star Trek films"

[@sonicfreak04]

frank should do a demo on making hobbit feet

[@TheNiteinjail]

nice shirt Frank :)

[@salbachir]

can you make me an ear for my microtia ?????

[@JamesBalazs]

Who needs prosthetics when you have hundreds of rubber bands, an ear piercing and a hook on a wall?

[@kevartje1295]

but... I can't do this at home...

[@cooldude100ca]

Anyone else notice the dude looking through the back window at 02:08

[@appleheaddefender]

Vulcans have green blood

[@HectorJW2007]

I like the Star Trek V ears better.

[@christoskettenis880]

Norm Spok!

[@pauledwards9493]

Looks like Sulu and Spock's love child.

[@BurningTaco7101]

I am another who cannot do the Vulcan salute. The reason why is because my ring finger can not move as far as the pinkie. WhenI attempt to do the Vulcan salute, the pinkie moves way far away, and the ring finger moves barely any.

[@c.wookie5341]

How do you make elf ears and Hobbit feet?

[@nxrth451]

.....but.....Sulu wasn't a Vulcan? Lol just kidding. I kinda of feel bad now.

[@xnamkcor]

Dwayne "The Spock" Johnson.

[@owenpeter3]

Actually this vid is more like talking about making the ears rather than actually how to make them!

[@regemo]

Forced Wonder Woman lasso vs Forced mind meld? Who wins? This isn't sexual innuendo btw. I promise. Really.

[@keekwai2]

MR Kwok?

[@jimmyjimmy147]

Norm loves to ask how people feel about things and if they're happy with them!! hahah smh

[@2004Minecraftfan]

T'Norm

[@jamesreyle9482]

do a cast of bruce jenner...

[@michaelduda4071]

Norm, you look quite athletic -- too bad your uniform is so baggy.

[@jhlim]

so cute..;)

[@TomPatelGaming]

Anybody else hear a fart at 38 seconds??????

[@schelsullivan]

Does his shirt say atheist?

[@InFltSvc]

They are to big

[@nesurasen5978]
