This is my online magazine for all the various projects involving visual effects I am currently involved in as they happen.
In addition to movie props/costumes or animation and digital compositing work, I'll occasionally post pics of my custom toys and minatures.

Becomming Commander Data

I spent the last few weeks putting together a Commander Data costume for Star Fest here in Denver. I ended up buying a Voyager pattern and adapting it into a First Contact-Nemesis uniform.

I bought a Nemesis "Dolphin phaser kit from Roddenberry.com, and painted it with gunmetal grey automotive paint

For the makeup I put on several layers of white water based face makeup by By Nye each sealed with a sealant, followed by a layer of gold metallic powder.
And of course yellow contacts

Starfest 2009
It was an amazing experience meeting Brent Spiner as Data. He loved the costume and we had a very funny conversation about white/gold makeup and yellow contacts. Brilliant guy, turns out we are even from the same neighborhood in Houston, Texas.

    Very nice FC costume! I'm from Houston myself (Alvin, actually) and I'm just getting into Trek costumes and props. I've been doing Ghostbusters for years.

    Do you know of any local Trek groups or any Trek-specific forums that could help get me started?
