I projected a still (paused) image of the Leota video for the right proportions while I built up the nearly blank face.<br /><br />I honestly just hot glued a white wig around her head and put her in a big plastic ball I got online (I'll find the link if you need it)<br />and aimed the projector at her.

You can shave off the front of the wighead to avoid anything poking through to the face.<br /><br />Then you can sand the edges of the plaster to be flush with the foam head (any seams can be covered with whatever wispy white hair you will use in that crystal ball).<br /><br />You will need to blank out the eyelashes as you mentioned, but also blank the lips/mouth, or at least soften it considerably. There should be very little definition there (it'll mess up your mouth in the video).<br /><br />I did a simple front projection Madame Leota in 2009, video of the effect can be seen in the archives at the ol' S&P. It was a simple, quick set up but still worked fine -- yours ought to be that much more tremendous!<br /><br />Good luck, keep us posted!Mike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13630407794979792276noreply@blogger.com
