Continuity

Have you ever watched a movie where something small keeps changing? For example, the mole on an actress' cheek keeps changing sides of her face periodically throughout the movie. Or an actor is holing a glass of water in their right hand and then in the next shot it's in their left hand? 

Doesn't that drive you crazy?!! Maybe you are just lucky and you get so drawn into films that you don't notice these things.

Contiuity in a movie is very important, especially in the make-up department. If someone is injured in one scene and then the director needs to go back and re-shoot a part of that scene at a different time, their make-up and special effects have to look exactly the same as it did the first time.


This continuity test was done on location in the park in Gastown.
I used gelatin and tissue, as well as alcohol-based paints.


As for this one, I used gelatin, pros-aid, alcohol-based and cream-based paints.

Is it just me, or am I seein' double ;)
