See below for a transcript of the interview:
Hello. Ok, three of you and you gals look very busy so let's start with you first.
Leslie Gibson: My name is Leslie Gibson. I am a makeup artist and makeup educator. You can look me at SimoneBillionBeauty.com. These are my partners today and for this shoot, GRISLY. Everybody's so kind and so cooperative and we're all really excited about GRISLY.
So, can you tell us exactly what you're doing today?
Leslie Gibson: What we're basically responsible for is creating the Gill Girls for the GRISLY film. So the Gill Girls are kind of like mutated swamp creatures and you know, we're creating five of them today. Erica, she brought some prosthetics, you'll see, so if you see scaling on the arms or scaling on the abdomen, those are pieces that she created.
Hello. Can you tell us your name and what you're responsible for today?
Erica Ruiz: Hi, I'm Erica Ruiz, I have two companies, I am a freelance makeup artist and Beautiful Maniac is my company. I have an effects company called Braindead Effects with my partner, Travis Ridgeway and I did most of the prosthetics on this film. I made scales and a bunch of scars and all this fun stuff and I'm just doing some coloring on the hands.
Ok, one left. Can you tell us who you are and what you are focusing on today?
Lindsey Martins: Hello, I'm Lindsey Martins. I'm a freelance makeup artist. I'm mostly in charge with the face, I do the coloring, so I do a lot contouring and highlighting with greens and we do a lot of red around the eyes and I do a lot of depth to the eyes and adding a lot of black to the contouring.
Thank you all - Leslie, Erica, and Lindsey. We look forward to seeing your work in GRISLY and wish you good luck on your future "creature feature" endeavors.
