Cyst was a fun little feature film Directed by Tyler Russell that I had the pleasure of working on with Tolin FX. The majority of everyhting was fabricated in house. For this I sculpted various sizes of Cysts, Cyst Skull stage, and lead the fabrication of the Cyst monster suit before finishing it onset and then performing it. It was fabricated out of various types of foam in multiple layers. The details of the suit were sculpted with foam latex right onto the form and then baked out in a makeshift oven. We had many sizes of cyst prosthetics, many stages of the monster, atmosphere, some make shift explosions and various liquid launching using airpowered squibs from Squib FX, sparks, lots of blood and pus/slime, and of course a lot of fun!
