Rick baker started making prosthetic pieces in his own kitchen, he started off being the assistant to prosthetic makeup effects veteran Dick Smith on the film The Exorcist. Then he got his inaugural Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling for his work on An American Werewolf in London He also created the "werecat" creature Michael Jackson transforms into in the music video ThrillerBaker has been nominated for the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar ten more times, winning on seven occasions, both records in his field. On wards from that hes been creating beautiful creatures for films such as men n black. I really like how the detail of every creature really stands out for example they may have similar features but all have their own personality within the piece that makes them individual. And you can see the dedication he puts into each piece that does make me want to make mine to the best of my ability. I really respect baker as in an interview he says;
“I said the time is right, I am 64 years old, and the business is crazy right now. I like to do things right, and they wanted cheap and fast,” said Baker. “That is not what I want to do, so I just decided it is basically time to get out.
which I feel is the positive and right attitude to produce the best quality of work and from looking at his work I really aspire to it.
Looking at these I love the texture he puts into his work the brain is very neat and excellently executed with with them going down the front lobe also I like how the ear is out lined as humans would usually have ears there . I'm especially interested in his work a she does do a lot of high breads as the 'brain man' has human features such as the eyes nose and mustache which helps me think of ideas that I can work with on my hybrid.
