I totally worked on the "alien" starting at 2:52. It was made at Steve Johnson's XFX for a sci-fi TV series. Silicon puppet with animatronic head. BUSTED.

He sure spends a lot of time showing us how supple the silicone is at the beginning of the piece. Real experts don't use X-Acto knives to perform autopsies. Ever heard of a scalpel "doc"? The procedure looks very fishy. These are not the hands of a surgical expert nor are the tools correct for s...

Perfect!

Brilliant execution. For those of us who know how this shift works, it is clear that the shift is happening although nearly invisibly. To the person who has yet to learn it, it does look as if nothing has happened and that is, after all, the point. Is it not?

Brilliant staging, lighting music and world class performance... Clowns like this give magic a bad name by stealing the illusions of the true masters. SHAME!!

@mdafreeze Unfortunately there are many people out there who don't understand that this is a brilliant performance and not an attempt to demonstrate actual supernatural abilities. David is a master showman and a world renowned illusionist unlike any other. The guy explaining the secrets to the il...

I agree with Mathemagician. Don't spoil the end of the story. Let the color change happen without telling your audience that it will happen. Your performance is executed perfectly. Just change your patter a little and you'll be world class!

Awesome! Nature at its finest.

You make this look so effortless. How long have you practiced this effect? Do you do private lessons? Where are you located?

Extremely educational video. Intelligently and eloquently described. Many thanks!

@gokuthebeginner I gotta tell you. it took me 7 months of solid practice to get to the point where I could post this video. It is a very challenging shift to master and some people get it faster than I did for sure. Don't give up. Maybe you can email me a video clip of where you are with it and I...

Remember, don't waste water whilst draining your abscess kiddies. See how the careless people in this film leave the tap on during expression of blood and pus from the infected pustule? Don't let this happen to you! Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!

Ironically, I am staying in Berlin for a couple of months on a job and LOVE the German highways! we could use some of that back home.

How do you define the work plane to create new geometry on a different plane?

Thanks!

Great tool. Nicely done. Did you shoot with Canon 5D? No movement jitter?

It doesn't seem possible that anyone would not understand this. It is one of the most clever and creatively inspiring pieces on YT. There really are vast differences in people's IQs. It's a bit startling just how vast those differences can be.

@affelarsson You would be paying the guy who invented this beautiful move. Not getting it from a kid who can't really execute it correctly. I guess you can't really stop people from wanting something for free. Like looters. By the way, they shoot looters ;)

This young man is brilliant! Thanks goodness Perry's legacy lives on.
