Wanna different kinda Harry head.... eh baby' Also: GHOST OF MARS news
Hey folks, Harry here.... Some months back you might remember that I had my head cast for the upcoming John Carpenter movie, GHOSTS OF MARS.
At the time, I said that we would be putting together a full length video presentation on the site that over the course of a few weeks, you'd get to see how to take a perfect full head cast of someone.... using me as the example.
Due to editing equipment issues, that is still being worked on, what we have here is a brief.... over-view of the entire process including WAY TOO DARK final frames of the finished head. Soon, I'll have perfectly lit images of the KNB created HARRY HEAD for John Carpenter's GHOSTS OF MARS.....
Along side those clips will be full info on who at KNB was doing this to me... as well as what all the different gunk was they were using. This will probably be one of the only times you will ever see me looking like Dynamo from RUNNING MAN.... or like the beginnings of the Kingpin.... Harry sans hairy is scary.
Some people have a bad trip with this sort of thing... me... hell, I'd do it again in a drop of the hat.... reminded me of a cool sensory deprivation tank they have over at the University of Texas.... Tiny scrapings sounding like a dental pic in my ear canal scraping flesh away with that chromey prong thing.
Soon there will be more cool stuff regarding this experience.... For now...
CLICK HERE FOR A 15 MEG QUICKTIME MAKING OF A HARRY HEAD!!!
Yes, I am in GHOSTS OF MARS.... and there was a need for my head to be cast and then made. Do the addition and division and I think you have an idea of basically what it is I do in GHOSTS OF MARS.
Meanwhile.... I would like to know how they teach counting in Florida.

Always wanted to know how to do one

It's cool to have so much technical info (like this) on the net. Off topic - What is that extremely cool graphic in the corner. What movie is that from ?
-
...that looks great, Harry. The head looks good even in the dark frames, I can only imagine how good it looks in the proper lighting. I must've missed the original story about this--are you in Ghosts of Mars? Or should I say, the Harry Head? McFly<--
-
Nice work. But the music's got to go.
-
Is it just me, or does Bald Harry/Harry Head look a lot like the "fat lady" disguise Arnie wore in Total Recall?
-
I think the graphic is from "Day of the Dead," but it could really be from "Dawn of the Dead" cause that movie had a similar scene too.
-
It's Day of the Dead, cause nobody got actually pulled in half in Dawn. I wish there were some actual arms attached to the hands so we could no for sure.
-
Good point Harry. What the hell is up with Florida? .. This clip is alright. I've been in the film industry for too long! These clips just remind me of work.. Harry, you look very different without your beard... Hmm, wasn't ready for that..

So that's where all that latex Eddie Murphy wore to play the Gum
by fatal discharge
...but seriously who better to model for a Martian alien than Harry?
-
will Ghosts of Mars be like Escape from LA and Vampires or escape from New York and Assault on precinct 13?
-
Harry-
You've got to tell me about the tank! I've always been looking for one, but thought there wasn't one in Austin.
Must try it out!
-
Get an extra mold of your head, fill it with spagetti, sauce, and raw chicken, and chuck it off an expressway over-pass into the unsuspecting oncoming traffic. OR drop it from the second or thrid level of a mall into a pack of young budding teenage girls with a penchant for commerce. Film either of those and put an mpeg of that on the web. Pranks must come of this....CARPE DIEM!!!!
-
I just have to say that I couldn't stand that process when they were just doing a cast of my teeth. The smell of the stuff made me almost hurl. About the music, please come to the Scorp.......... I take good care of you next time. I'm thinking something that begins a bit more introspective and intriguing that builds to a huge thematic arrival upon the revealing of the final "Harry Head". The techno-loop crap is not one of my more favorite things, but if you like it more pwer to you King Geek.
Your humble servant and Music Geek... SithScorp -
Thanks for showing us that movie Harry. It was pretty interesting, although I don't think I could sit still for that long. -(still pissed about tricking the old people in Florida)
-
Without facial hair Harry looks like that mongoloid kid from "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". Later on he looks like the big skinhead from "The Wanderers".
-
I think I know what it is. Harry plays the red planet. Hahahaha!

HARRY: YOU SHOULD QUESTION HOW THEY TEACH TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS I
by twonkenn
Counting has little to do with it. Following directions on something as simple as a punch card is the issue at hand. Fuck em if they can't! Long reign PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!!!!
-
possibly more than Escape From New York. It was over-the-top camp goodness.
-
That's some fairly scarry-ass shit, sans beard...

Yes Harry, you MUST use that head in conjunction with PROJECT MA
by tall_boy
Start throwing it at people on the street, or pretend to be walking by a woodchipper, walk behind and yell out "OH GOD, NOOOOOO!!!!" and toss it out. PROJECT MAYHEM (Austin Chapter) IS IN EFFECT! And don't ask questions, that's the first rule.
-
Don't take this the wrong way, my friend, because I'm a fan of you and your site. I think you're probably a genuinely cool guy to hang out with, and I don't mean to be disrespectful -- but my friend, you have GOT to grow your facial hair back. You look like a mess without them. I saw you on Tv a couple of times, and I used to think you look terrible with that bright orange 'do, but now I take it all back. You NEED those facial hair! Grow them back as fast as you can! Don't leave the house until you do!
-
That was cool, but I couldn't stop thinking how Harry looked like Uncle Fester with that bald cap on and the black covering.
Ha! I know who will be cast in Addams Family 3. -
GET OFF THE LAWN! DAMN KIDS!!!
But seriously, who pissed in your wheaties or whatever fiber intake you need to remain soid? Lets just euthinize the children and scrutinze society, and leave no blame on the individuals who brought a life into thie world w/out a care to the consequence that action brings. Quit tossing blame wherever you can find it, and as for progress, progression towards what? You're silly, and I bet you stuttered and spit on the screen when you typed grizzled little diddy. Yeah anyone with half-a-brain cell drowned in whisky and pot could tell that extreme consequences lead to facism after watching Fight Club, but it was also a MOVIE, not a guide for self damnation and those who can't see that deserve whatever horrid consequences that await them. The posting was for humor, morbid as it may be. I know I said you could have summed up your previous posting with "GET OFF THE LAWN! DAMN KIDS!" and this posting probably could have been summed up by the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka who said it best: "LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS!" -
Harry for the love of (insert diety of your choice here) PLEASE get rid of that damn Zap the Monkey banner add, its doing havoc to your site's load time, even on broadband.
-
Keen goods, big guy. Nice viddy on how they cast heads and all... The music sounded like the soundtrack from an underage Traci Lords viddy, but hell, I don't care. Very cool, man, very cool.
-
dammit. I wanted to know how it's done!
-
do it again! and make it all capitals so its 20 times more annoying.
-
Harry, I don't care what it takes, you were destined to play The Blob in the next X-Men flick. Also, It's nice to see that Cuthbert is still a bitter fucker. Do you like anything Cuthbert? Do you have any friends? Is there anything you respect? Somebody get a hold of one of these Harry Heads and stick it in Cuthberts bedsheets, you bitter, obnoxious, rabid, fuck. I mean this with the upmost respect, of course.
-
You talk about being a productive member of society. How are you a productive member of society?
-
I have the feeling that this is going to be like "Vampires". Carpenter seems to have forgotten what it was that made him a legend back in his early days. I thought he'd regained it when I saw the "Body Bags" tape, but since then, there seems no hope for a return to the glory days of yore. Maybe he just isn't hungry any more.

How dare you associate the Republican Party with the KKK and NAMBLA, you are a sick fuck. I'm going to give you a heads up, you have been brainwashed...congradulations!!! I'm sure people have told you that before but why don't you just sit down and think for a few minutes and instead of referring back to liberal propaganda, think about what you really think makes sense. For instance, the fact that over 90% of blacks voted democratic is not a reflection on the republican party, because it's not like Bush is fucking racist, Gore and you democrates lie to the poor bastards and they believe and follow!! Congrats, you can take care of them all you want and soon they will be your little croonies, meanwhile I'm going to fight to get the ideas of racism out of the national conversation, people don't want hear about different "groups" and shit, I think that all we want to accept people for people and not reference ANYBODY as being a "different" in some way, it drives me crazy. There are racist groups out there like the KKK as well as many others, so lets just prosecute them and get on with it, we don't need to fight them head on like it's a national war, didn't civil rights end in the 60's? Why can't we just live in peace? The day America sees it's problems for what they are is the day we will really be free. Liberals pollute the air waves touting such absurb comments as "the reason why Bush won all those Bible thumping southern states is because the Gore campain focused so much on gay and minority rights..." THIS WAS FROM ONE OF CLINTON'S FORMAL ADVISORS!!! Can't anyone of you liberals see the how absolutely asinine this madness is!! You people are fueling all the hatred, all the racism, everything that is wrong with this country has been amplified by you so that all this crap is a constant part of our American consciousness.....
-
you're saying its just coincidence that all the bible-thumpers, KKK Members, and other racists make up a huge portion of the Republican Party?
-
probably the same way they taught
dubya to make it thru skool and life,cheating 101.
