Blue Aqua Sealer Airbrush - If you are using an airbrush for Reel Blue Aqua Sealer it is advisable to use a separate airbrush because it is a cosmetic acrylic and cleaning between it and any other make-up will delay your job. Use Reel Developer or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean your brush immediately after spraying Reel Blue Aqua Sealer. Otherwise you may have to soak your airbrush in Reel Developer or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol for an hour or longer to properly dissolve sealer for total cleaning.
"WATER WORLD" presented many challenges. One of the major challenges was to come up with a make-up that would last on Dennis Hopper's "Smokers" in the ocean. Fred knew what to use and after showing the producers that this could be done, they gave him the green light to set up a laboratory on location to research, develop and manufacture REEL Body Art Inks specificically for this production. Every day we were able to 'tweak' the product on 75 stuntmen (our animal testing) until we achieved our goal and bring REEL Body Art Inks to perfection.
Dennis Hopper's make up was designed and created by Thomas Burman, (along with John Chambers, make-up artist on the original "Planet of the Apes") and rendered by Mr. Blau using REEL Creations Products.
The tattoo on Tina Majorino, "ENOLA", was created by REEL CREATIONS using the wet process (silk screening on to the skin).
