Makes me regret not doing the Special Effects Make Up course back when I was 20 and had the money. It's great to find out that our Dominic here was involved in the creature effects for Come To Daddy, my favorite music promo. So cool.

This video is a hell of an achievement. Should make a lot of people open their minds to a healthy dose of transgression in their own work.
