Netflix: Uglies
Work done through Blue Whale Studios
Jonah Levy - Art Direction
Anthony Canonica - Molding Casting
For the Netflix film “Uglies”, producer Jenny Hinkey brought us in to create a pig mask for an extended sequence where the main character sneaks into a party in disguise. A major design inspiration was taken from Ariana Grande’s 2016 bunny costume.
The mask was digitally designed in zbrush and used a 3d scan of the actress to confirm scale and fit. Prototyping was done in-house through MSLA printing and the final deliverable was molded and cast in a flexible but semi-rigid rubber from BJB. The paint job was achieved with a blend of Createx Quicksilver chrome and CandyO2 pigments. Top coating was a water-bourne gloss clear coat blended with a flex additive, also from Createx.
Uglies is a 2024 American science fiction drama film directed by McG and written by Jacob Forman, Vanessa Taylor, and Whit Anderson.
