Hard to believe this music video is about to celebrate 20 years - right alongside “Daft Punk’s Electroma!”
Time flies….
Eleven-year-old Brianna Gardner gets glued into her prosthetic makeup for Daft Punk’s “Prime Time of Your Life” music video shoot, which was filmed at over a weekend.

Behind the Scenes with CHUCKY!: Erik Beck shares the “control gloves” for Chucky’s hands while they were still in development… affectionately renamed “the Power Gloves” by the crew.
Final modifications included a “battery gauntlet” to power the gloves on set so Eric had more freedom to move around, and a wrist controller for Chucky’s hands added between the structure of the battery gauntlet and the glove.
Hard to believe “HAIRSPRAY” was almost twenty years ago already!
It was a great experience designing the character of Edna with John Travolta’s input, and even more fun watching how he brought her to life on set then every day for three months!!
(And now he’s directing a film - from a script adapted from his own 1997 children’s book…a man of many talents!)

(And did you know that ’s 2013 “Dark Horse” hit was directly inspired by “The Craft?”)

This “double face”on Action Bronson was for a new drink, and is a great example of skillfully mixing practical effects with digital effects work.
