This one is an example of one of the wierd orders we had before. Well, not excatly weird, just wish they stop doing that some times. This mask is the one from V for Vandetta. It's much more surprisingly difficult to make since they don't really sell masks with the excat features in Singapore, well, not where we looked anyway. Heard the people over at the Singapore Movie Club had to import the mask over, much like all the other costumes of theirs. Theirs' was made of rubber, and greenish in colour. This one here however was done with wet newspaper and Epoxy Putty, which was why it was freaking heavy, 3.5 kg to be excat......for a mask... Surprisingly and luckily, that client said that was what he wanted. Weight. Which was actually what had to be put in for some of the props every now and then. Apparently some people needed to feel the weight of the prop they hold in their hands. As such ever so often request would come in to use specific materials, like thick metal plates and whole chunks of acrylic. Bad idea;
1) Heavy means structure might just break, and plus the fact that some people likes to swing their prop around. Safety is a concern.
2) Acrylic. We used them in school, as in how many QUALITY stuffs did you get from schools in the first place? Acrylics are Strong, Meliable, and BRITTLE remember?
3) Full thick metal plates and bars...... you're kidding.
