We had the privilege to have Frank come to the IATSE 891 film union to demonstrate how he makes and apply Bondo Prosthetics. This product, technique and application has revolutionized the film industry. In a time where people want a fast and safe alternative to prosthetic make ups….this is truly the answer!
As a Fx artist of the film industry for 17 years, I have seen the evolution from foam to silicone, from gelatin to bondo transfers, and by far these are the best, easiest, safest and most durable prosthetics you can use today.
From the Passion of Christ 
to Pirate’s of the Caribbean 
to Pirate’s of the Caribbean these prosthetics have been used tried and true. Frank has an extensive resume and works with all the best of Hollywood.
Frank has just partnered up with Frends Beauty Supplies in Hollywood, a leader in suppling the film industry http://frendsbeautysupply.com/SpecialFX.aspx for years. They offer pre-made pieces that are easy to use and apply.
We also have a company here in Vancouver! WCT Productions can custom make pieces and they have many templates for you to choose from. http://www.globalproducer.com/ID15451.
I have personally worked with this company for over 10 years and they are by far one of the best in the city! Their work is flawless every time. Owner Bill Terezakis has worked in the industry for 20 years and he is a master at his craft. He has several awards to his credit such as the Leo, Emmy and several others. Here’s a list of their many credits, several I have had the honor to work on with them… http://www.imdb.com/company/co0236607/
Either way you choose you are bound to find something professional, creative with superior quality. I personally look forward to the future of prosthetic makeup and the many advances in the years to come.
Artists and cast alike want a safer alternative to the hazardous chemicals we are use to using. It was one of the reasons that made me think about an alternative to the film industry with opening the BeautyInk Gallery. After a visit to the doctor, I sadly found out I will not be able to have a child of my own, thanx to all those hazardous chemicals that have damages my organs. If your an Fx Artist and you suffer from asthma, fatigue, infertility or liver damage….you can than our craft for that!
The next time you are thinking of prosthetics, certainly consider the bondo transfers as a safe alternative to your FX needs. They are safe, easy, and simple to make, no need for ovens, hours of cooking time or additional re touching on set. They are water resistant, something you can pre-colour as well as time saver.
