A Demonstration of How to Make Realistic 'Star Trek' Vulcan Ear Prosthetics

Tested recently brought movie effects artist Frank Ippolito on board to demonstrate to everyone how to create a realistic set of Star Trek-themed Vulcan ear prosthetics.

Effects artist Frank Ippolito joins us once again for a make-up project tutorial and demonstration. For this year’s WonderCon, Norm wanted to go as a Vulcan with authentic ear prosthetics. Using techniques we’ve shown before like lifecasting, sculpting, mold-making, and casting, Frank builds up a lifelike appliance and shows us how to apply it. Watching this video would be most logical!
