Watched #AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon

More horror comedy than scary, but that's not bad at all. I rather like how cheeky it's playing with the genre tropes of the werewolf genre - like the music choices. It also has some impressing practical effects and make-up, with the latter winning make-up legend #RickBaker his first Oscar. #movies

For our anniversary, my wonderful wife gave me @therickbaker 's #Metamorphosis , a deluxe edition in two hardcover volumes in a slipcase. This compiles most of Baker's work, an unparalleled display of creative richness, full of sketches, personal photography, early drawings, many materials, it's a gorgeous book.

A #Tested video from 7 years ago I completely forgot about, featuring the legendary - and extremely charming - Rick Baker talking about a bunch of his amazing work 👉

Reminds me of what almost felt like a 1-degree-of-separation experience at the time, when he posted this image to the CGforums and we all went completely apesh*t that a living legend had suddenly plopped down in our midst... 😂

Rick Baker's Make-Up and Special Effects Legacy

YouTube
#HappyBirthday to #RickBaker, the innovative, seven time Oscar-winning American make-up effects artist and monster maker, born in New York #OnThisDay in 1950. Inspired by Jack Pierce and an assistant to Dick Smith, he became a worthy successor to both via unforgettable work on dozens of films and TV series, including The Fury (1978), Videodrome (1983) and Ed Wood (1994). His first Oscar was for #AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon (1981), which still boasts the greatest metamorphosis in #HorrorCinema.
