Whistle (2026) - Directed by
@corinhardy . In 2023,
@pauljonesfx reached out asking if we’d be interested in taking on a sizeable amount of this show that he’d been approached about by producer
@hollygowhitney . Thanks Paul! With both of us already on other big projects, it made perfect sense to divide up what was a ton of practical work that included not just makeup, prosthetics, and suits, but also puppets, animatronics, and a lot of blood gags. Since she’s all over the trailers, here’s a few pics of the Crone and some BTS pics. Corin was wanting something a bit stylized with some retro-ish influence, and based on the attached concept by
@damalto . I’d suggested one of our regular collaborators,
@kaliehunternero for the performer. After more discussions about how to shoot things, we added
@flexy_t for some cool contortion and movement shots among other things. Lots of people working on this one at various times to get her prepped, but the primary sculpting was
@hunter_fx @giegiesculpts @colin_penman . We’d actually created a full head to toe look, not knowing early on what the wardrobe from costume designer
@lk_costumes_ would be. The set pics are from the first shoot day (pool scene) applied by
@steve_newburn @kayladobilas and
@adrianmakesfaces with
@alanna_dickie handling the contact lenses. Other artists including
@hunter_fx @jasondetheridge @makeup_lizrowe @shannonspencemakeup would join us down the road for additional sequences with the character, particularly when we had both Kalie and Toria put together. #whistlemovie #prosthetics #makeupfx #sfx #deathlives
