I feel the people behind the scenes, behind a cinematic piece, are often forgotten about. But sometimes it is in the best of ways; Tom's performances over the years along with the team of puppeteers make that character real and people forget there's that kind of technical magic behind it. Anyone can put on a costume but it takes true devotion to make that costume a character you can latch onto.
I feel bad for cgi animators too tho, because they are so underpaid and overworked. All the people in the effects industry are. People that do the best part of movies get the brunt of it, while the directors and actors take all the fame and glory
John Woodruff Jr you will always be such a great hero and actor to me! You're an amazing creature creator and makeup artist! You've always raised the bar no matter what you've been involved in! Thank you so very much for all your awesome work and for sharing your incredible talent with us all! Lady Anne ^^ö^^ (@LadyBatChild)
I have always wanted to be a creature/costume performer. I hope I get a chance to do it one day. Ive studied animals ever since I had seen one, and Ive always copied them, and when I get alone, I sometimes get in a mirror with my dino mask or something and I try to do different things. I also like to watch people control animatronics and I hope I get to do that one day too.
People in Hollywood need to realize you're only supposed to use CGI to help make certain things better not make the whole entire movie CG are practical effects still reigns supreme I wish more filmmakers would get back to the practical effects
I really didnt much like Alien3 but that damn creature is really growing on me. I had to end up ordering the Dog Alien figure along with the Big Chap 79 and Concept Big Chap 79 Translucent.
Zarina Stern : It was cut with the wrong Gil Man footage. He did play the Gil Man in UNIVERSAL's MONSTER SQUAD in 1980's, not the Gil Man in CREATURE from the Black LAGOON (1950's)
I guess he's speaking metaphorically when he talks about _Creature from the Black Lagoon_ because that movie came out in 1954 and he was born in 1959..
É isso que eu chamo de qualidade. O CGI ajuda mas não deveria ser o carro chefe, lógico que tem coisas que são impossível de fazer sem , mas olha que falta faz uma pessoa por trás de uma roupa de monstro bem feita, bem produzida, uma maquiagem, prostéticos, que falta faz um animatrônico.
Interesting. He's done some fine work (e.g. Alien 3) How is he POSSIBLY old enough to have been the Creature from the Black Lagoon in 1954. I'm 75 and was only 7 when it came out. RIcou Browning and Ben Chapman are credited in IMDB.
Woodruff looks too young to have been in,"The Creature from the Black Lagoon." That movie was in black and white.One had has to be extremely flexible to do that kind of work (body acting).
All the people in the effects industry, whether suits or effects or cgi, are overworked and underpaid alot of the time. People that do the best part of movies and make the magic get the brunt of it, while the directors and actors take all the fame and glory
