IMATS Sydney 2012–Character/Prosthetic Competition | the ladida

Day 2 of IMATS Sydney hosted the Character/Prosthetics “Battle of the Brushes” student competition with the theme for 2012 being Men In Black Aliens. The finalists had only 3 hours for the transformation and had to use the prosthetics supplied.

First Place – Emma Bartik

A clear audience favourite, the definition of geek chic which reminded me of Steve Urkel from the 90’s sitcom Family Matters.
