hello it has been some time since i posted on here, but hey we all get wrapped up in things. I am in preproduction of a fantasy short film, and i need suggestions for making elf ears for cheepest cost possible.... any ideas? Stephkaye
Most of the time this kind of appliance is sculpted out of clay formed on a cast of the actors ears. Molds are made and the appliance is made from foam latex. It�s a complicated process for someone unfamiliar with the process and can be expensive. You want the cheapest way possible. Cut 2 pieces of muslin in the shape you want then build the ear out of layers of liquid latex. You will attach the piece to the ear with spirit gum, take them off at the end of the shoot and reattach them the next time.
Hi Stephkay, I can make you cheap ears. Been working on new techniques, and they'll make this easy. I have to sculpt-mold-cast-colour- and send these your way, so for a ballpark figure; 1 pair for $ 30,- and 10 pair for $ 40,- . Interested?, let me know; Dutchie, k...@wanadoo.nl

Liquid latex and muslin or even paper towels.
Re: fantasy short - elf ears
but how would i make them, and then in the end take them off the actors each day to be able to reuse them the next day of shooting?..... Stephkaye
