Making a Lifecast of Norm for The Zoidberg Project

Find out more about The Zoidberg Project here: To craft the mask for the Zoidberg Project, effects artist Frank Ippolito has to first make a realistic duplicate of a head to sculpt on. This is done through a process called lifecasting, in which Frank covers Norm’s head with silicone to make a perfect mold. That mold is then filled with plaster to create Norm’s creepy double. Thanks to Iwata-Medea and Smooth-On for providing materials and sponsoring this project.
