Hybrids

In our session with Kat we looked at various forms of hybrid characters such as Angelina Jolie's 2014 part bird, part woman character - Maleficent and The famous Harry Potter character 'Voldemort' who appears to be part snake, part human. 
In order to gain some insight into how difficult it can be when trying to make prosthetics we watched a video about the making of the prosthetics for Voldemort and the struggles they had with trying to make his face snake-like as well as the whole thinking behind the character.



These sorts of issues are also things I will need to consider when planning out and developing my own hybrid, making sure they don't restrict any breathing etc.  One of my ideas was to create a bird/human hybrid, moulding a beak prosthetic for the nose and mouth, however after watching this video I am going have to rethink that idea.
