I got caught up on Creature Shop over the weekend. I LOVE seeing all this stuff being put together, especially since it means that the Creature Shop is obviously building hype for itself. (Allegedly there's a Farscape movie in the pipe, which would make me need new pants but I won't hold my breath.) My one complaint is the amount of editing and "Face / Heel" they're trying to put into it. I want to see amazingly talented people make creautres, not watch this dopey soap opera.

I'm trying to think of something they could do to put a twist on a new season of Face Off along the lines of Rookie vs Vets from a season ago. I thought it might be neat to do a whole season comprised of the coolest challenges from all the previous seasons. It would be neat to get another artists take and compare them to what we got before. Maybe throw in a bonus of some sort if the judges think you did a better job than the winner of the original challenge or something. One big reason this would probably never happen is because a handfull of the challenges each year are sponsored by upcoming movies and video games and stuff and you obviously wouldn't be able to do that with this sort of format.

Face Off Season 6 Episode 15  SEASON FINALE : "Heavenly Bodies"Spotlight Challenge: The final three contestants will have to make two alien rivals that will perform a dance routine.  The final challenge is a big one so the final three contestants will no doubt get to direct a team made up of all the other contestants we've come to know and love this season, such as .... um, that guy and .... that other guy and .... that chick who did the thing .... um ... But seriously, I'm looking forwards to seeing more of Graham. I'm also curious to see whether any of the final contestants will take a chance on Daran's undeniable skill or whether they'll stick with people who they rely on to be team players. Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge Episode 5: "Life In Motion" An appearance by Lady Gaga's unicorn inspires the creature designers to create a larger-than-life creation with realistic movement, performed on a black light stage. They're back to teams of two this week so expect more arguing and changing plans and bitching about each other in the to-camera pieces! Seriously, I checked the sneak peek on the Syfy website and it was just one contestant bitching about her team mate. They really need to drop that poo poo. Also I had no idea what Lady Gaga's unicorn was so I looked up a video and it looks like it's a rideable version of the War Horse puppet with a horn. Cool.

I was thinking it would be cool if they partnered with some low-budget independent sci-fi or horror movie and did a season where the contestants work on-set with actual deadlines and the projects would have to actually be filmable. That would completely change almost everything about the format of the show as it is now though.

I guess it might have been more interesting if there were a few other teams trying to complete similar projects and at the end Glenn and Ve tore them all to shreds. A few episodes where they had to incorporate actual effects (tearing apart to reveal a second costume underneath, bursting in a shower of blood, melting like the Wicked Witch, etc.) would be fun but we'd also get situations like the Jim Henson Creature Shop Challenge where some of the contestants had no loving clue how to achieve the effect.

On the surface Foxy and Co. seemed like that, but it fell into the same trap as that body-painting show and every other Syfy reality show. Stupid nonsense conversations that are fake and sound very scripted, business meetings(again, scripted), and non-stop "reaction" footage of Foxy every time something happens. Just make some loving monsters already.

I was really looking forward to that show too, ended up fast forwarding through half of it just to see the finished products (which didn't blow me away)

D'awww. Tyler's family was holding their dog up to talk to him. I was kind of leery of the challenge, but an alien west side story style-dance fight sounds pretty cool. Looks like Raashad went the fine artist route by grabbing Daren. It's pretty smart for George to crab Corinne. His paint jobs always look kind of lovely. I also forgot that Corinne can actually work quickly when directed by competant people.

I really like George's but it seems comparatively bland. Also Rashaad's female makeup has almost too much light around the face making it hard to look at.

Rashaad's female alien design was definitely the best out of all six. For a contest focused on light it was the only one that really embraced it as a concept.

Creature shop talk: If they had a decent amount of time, the uv paint would be super fun to play with for them, i would think. Edit: Wait, isn't that one chick a borderline furry artist? I thought those outfits had a lot of foam. Desperate Character posted:Rashaad's female alien design was definitely the best out of all six. For a contest focused on light it was the only one that really embraced it as a concept. Yep. I agree. Vi also noticed that his work, aside from one time, is consistently good.

What are the chances that Russ' idea for using a long wobbly-rear end rod with a heavy-as-poo poo thing on the end of it isn't going to work out very well for him?

YES RASHAAD!  Also I just checked his twitter and noticed the background image for the first time:   Jamesman posted:What are the chances that Russ' idea for using a long wobbly-rear end rod with a heavy-as-poo poo thing on the end of it isn't going to work out very well for him? It was really hard to see during the screen test but I think he abandoned the backpack idea altogether and just held the rods in his hands. Maxwell Lord posted:I liked Lex. I did too.  But they really did do a lovely job on that dinosaur puppet.
