SFX Makeup: Michelle Meola & Sara Birelli
Short Film: Rete Mortale (A cura di Emanuele Giuliani, Giacomo Brogni e Riccardo Arosio)
Actor: Marco Calzone

Make-Up made for the short film "Rete Mortale". A double prosthetic application was performed for this character, in fact a three-dimensional prosthesis (for the left eye) and a flat one (circular in shape for the neck) were respectively applied. Both created with platinum silicone. For this particular scene the eye wound had to be created to simulate a scissor stab wound while the prosthetic neck had to simulate an entry hole for the murder weapon (the scissor itself). For this central scene I dealt with the silicone encapsulation, application and coloring of the prostheses, while Sara Birelli took care of the sculpting and silicone casting part. The murder weapon (scissors) was created in polyurethane foam (by Sara Birelli) and colored to be realistic by Martina Varotto. It was then cut, adapted and applied by me on set. Below is the cover of the short film, the step-by-step photos of the application of the prostheses and a scene extrapolated from the film.
