- Learning PathwaysAbout Pathways Our PATHWAYS combine a number of processes to take you on a creative journey with a beginning, middle and end; whether it’s producing your first basic flat mould prosthetic appliance or an extensive multi-piece silicone character makeup, there’s a pathway that will guide you along every step of the way. Our PATHWAYS are modelled on the content of the most popular courses we teach at Gorton Studio. There we focus first on teaching technical skills and then guide students into applying those skills to their personal projects. In our processes section, we will cover many core skills that can then be applied to multiple PATHWAYS. This means we won’t keep repeating the same information time and time again, allowing you to navigate a pathway quicker and more concisely. The lessons within these PATHWAYS are currently part of the EARLY ADOPTER SUBSCRIPTION. This is an ACCESS-ALL monthly subscription for £34.99 available until December 2020 and includes all 50+ lessons currently on the site plus regular new additions. In January 2021 the complete individual PROCESSES shown on this page will become available to subscribe to, and the ACCESS-ALL subscription price will automatically rise from the £34.99 per month EARLY ADOPTER…
- Learning ProcessesAbout Processes PROCESSES are the technical and artistic steps we take to manufacture a prosthetic or makeup effect. There’s no simple way to divide our processes with very clean lines between subject matter. Painting for example: painting on skin is a makeup process whereas painting on silicone for a dummy head comes under art finishing. At their hearts these processes follow the same basic principles of colour applied with a brush or airbrush, but for our purposes they would happen in different departments in the FX studio, or on the film set, so we have divided them into processes following the lines we find in our working life. Our industry also employs a lot of specialists and some of you using this resource will be interested in a specific area and developing specific skill sets, so our division of lessons into processes allows you to focus more easily on your area of interest. The lessons within these PROCESSES are currently part of the EARLY ADOPTER SUBSCRIPTION.
