Elly Allen, Makeup

Elly Allen, Makeup

Elly was the makeup artist on our teaser shoot. Sometimes she made people look nice, other times quite...gross. Whatever the scene demands!

Emersen Ziffle, Special Effects Makeup Artist

Emersen Ziffle, Special Effects Makeup Artist

Emersen (with assistant Kelsey Pippin) brings our protagonist to life, and provides great practical effects. So talented!

WolfCop Head Mold

WolfCop Head Mold

Emersen's process begins by taking a mold of the actor's head, and then sculpting that into something "wolf-tastic".

63

The Team Hard at Work

The Team Hard at Work

Brenda Shenher (Costume Designer) and Elly Allen (Makeup) make sure actor Yana Bilyk looks appropriately disheveled.

54

CGI WolfCop?

We are just teasing in our video, we don't actually have anything against digital FX! We just see WolfCop as a mostly practical FX movie.

Very cool!

clever and resourceful!

Edward D.
Posted 5 months ago

Looks better than promising

Richard Z.
Posted 5 months ago

Is that all you got. more blood !!

Jenna V.
Posted 5 months ago

Very amusing video. The werewolf makeup has to be REALLY great though, in order for it to work.So I wouldn't skimp on that part of the budget.

Valid H.
Posted 5 months ago

Educational AND funny. Well played.

victor l.
Posted 5 months ago

Wow! I like the special effects. The $10 finger scratching looks promising!

Natalia B.
Posted 5 months ago

Amazing! I really hope this gets through! Wolfcop rocks!

Kim M.
Posted 5 months ago

Fantastic!

Cyndi F.
Posted 5 months ago

I really like this concept. I'd love to see this full film along with some of the other film ideas in the competition.

Ang C.
Posted 5 months ago

I'm a big fan of the insta-five-oclock-re-shadow. Seems like a creative group.

Ann G.
Posted 5 months ago

Excellent job. Neat stuff.

Kathy L.
Posted 5 months ago

Very professional.

MAK138 K.
Posted 5 months ago

SFX are key and that sounded super gross! well done!

Mary G.
Posted 5 months ago

the skin tearing off the arm was very well executed. Not my style of movie but make-up artists have done great.

kael v.
Posted 5 months ago

Very high production value. Good call using a real wolf effects and make up.

Marly V.
Posted 5 months ago

I think your idea has been done before. But very high production value. And really pro looking.

Nadia H.
Posted 5 months ago

I've seen Wolf cop as well as some rather nice lungs up close and personal at Calgary comic con. All I have to say is the makeup effects are amazingly well done, very clever and resourceful.

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

Ha! Thanks Nadia. Glad we got to meet you at the Expo. We probably threw some lungs at you. :)

Nadia H.
Posted 5 months ago

you did let me play with 'em. :D my husband has been wearing his deputy badge ever since! I stole his tshirt though. We should've bought two..

David S.
Posted 5 months ago

Wow, that's super gross and super awesome. You guys have a great concept and I love how effective your "tricks" are

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

Thanks. Sometimes the "cheapest" tricks can be the most effective.

Harmony F.
Posted 5 months ago

I agree great make up, and I like the set.

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

We've got some great locations...and crew...and a werewolf. :)

Kerri S.
Posted 5 months ago

Great make-up artistry and special effects. An interesting idea of making this a budget friendly film, "Smoke and Mirrors" works!

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

We agree Kerri. Thank you!

Mital G.
Posted 5 months ago

Great, talented make up and sfx team. Loving this project!

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

Thanks Mital!

Chantie D.
Posted 5 months ago

Best of luck

Mary L.
Posted 5 months ago

I really liked the effect in the trailer when the skin ripped off his hand/forearm, that was rad!

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

Thanks Mary!

Julius G.
Posted 5 months ago

well done

Donald Y.
Posted 6 months ago

I think this shows an ability to create on a sensible budget. There seems to be one werewolf - may we expect his family to be included when budget permits?

Lowell D.
Posted 5 months ago

Ha! No just the one werewolf in this movie Donald. This is an origin story. But he's got to fight someone/something doesn't he! ;)

Jolene K.
Posted 6 months ago

well played out

Zombetty B.
Posted 6 months ago

Very clever video. Love it!

Jolene K.
Posted 6 months ago

I agree

Richard Z.

I appreciated the effort, perfection and skills that were implemented in this project.

Kathleen B.
Posted 6 months ago

Cute! Well done. Neat to see how you did some of the effects !

Brenda H.
Posted 6 months ago

I didn't think that you would be able to do this for cheap, but you have shown that in some ways you can!

August W.
Posted 6 months ago

Guts on the floor are awesome. Smart effects team!

Melissa S.
Posted 6 months ago

nice

Stephanie H.
Posted 6 months ago

Great effects!

Joel K.
Posted 6 months ago

Practical effects usually do trump digital for many things

Mitch A.
Posted 6 months ago

Sweet effects! Looks awesome!

Zaul M.
Posted 6 months ago

I absolutely love practical effects, this approach is awesome.

Lowell D.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks Zaul!

Karen J.
Posted 6 months ago

my favorite cheap trick video so far. love the guts hitting the floor. fascinating to find out make up is cheaper than digital!

Tory A.
Posted 6 months ago

Love the tricks and love the video!

TBiddy U.
Posted 6 months ago

Way to go! Practical FX for sure!!!

Angela S.
Posted 6 months ago

Good makeup - a lot more creative than relying on computer fx.

Dawn E.
Posted 6 months ago

Very interesting. I think it might be a little gory for me. Good luck though!

Lowell D.

Thanks Pam!

Kristi H.
Posted 6 months ago

Not original

Kristi H.
Posted 6 months ago

I agree Don

Donald Y.
Posted 6 months ago

I still don't feel this is original. But I do like the way that it has been created. And I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. The competition is not over.

Jordan L.
Posted 6 months ago

I like the classic approach with the make up instead of computer FX also good work on the guts.

AJ S.
Posted 6 months ago

Good makeup for some parts

Lisa a.
Posted 6 months ago

GOOD EFFECTS

Lowell D.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks Lisa.

Ange M.
Posted 6 months ago

Make up effects are good ..especially the guts falling on the floor..gross!

Posted 6 months ago

We agree. Disgusting!

Jenny A.

Michel C.

Not for me

Claudette B.

Wtf

Tah the T.

Oh man, the kid made me crack up. I love a good practical SFX film too; can't wait to see it in full!

Wojciech N.
Posted 7 months ago

funny way of showing the mission

Lowell D.
Posted 6 months ago

Thanks Wojciech!

jerry lee c.
Posted 7 months ago

The main theme in most of the films : blood, guts, gore, and tons of neat make-up. Remember to have great acting too though

Lowell D.
Posted 6 months ago

Yes, good acting and a good story. One can only go so far with guts and blood. ;)

Linda R.
Posted 7 months ago

Wow, that's pretty cool makeup

Ryan H.
Posted 7 months ago

swweeeeet

Trish M.
Posted 7 months ago

Great presentation for this mission, I liked the interview idea to get the cheapest guy, haha. You shared your tricks efficiently.This mission was well put together.

Hugh P.

Wolfcop rips the rest of the pack apart . . . .. again

Rachel M.
Posted 7 months ago

The wolfcop looks awesome! Good job!

George P.
Posted 7 months ago

these guy are funny... i love it, i need the money right now. the scaring of the young kid...funny shit

Denise D.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys break me up everytime I see another clip. I do find it quite interesting to see how wolf cop is coming to life.

Kirsty R.
Posted 7 months ago

Looking great!

Leigh N.
Posted 7 months ago

That poor little girl! But your werewolf really is awesome and the guts hitting the floor makes my stomach turn.

Jeevin J.
Posted 7 months ago

Emerson Ziffle is my favourite name ever. Great makeup work!

Lowell D.
Posted 7 months ago

Say his name three times in a row and he appears!

Allen M.
Posted 7 months ago

Very cool, guys. That kid will fear wolves for the rest of his life.

Ryan P.
Posted 7 months ago

I really can't wait to see where this goes. The teams members seem hilarious, and honestly, that makes it very real to have an interest in.

Richard B.
Posted 7 months ago

ha, loved to see how you put the effects together.

Oscar T.
Posted 7 months ago

nice effects

Milan J.
Posted 7 months ago

great work, fun to watch

Margaret S.
Posted 7 months ago

This movie seems to have the best cheap tricks I have seen. The effects are key to taking a story like this from a campy b-movie to an a-horror. It's amazing what these guys have done with modelling, the foam masks and makeup. It's also cool how they accomplished the guts effect without showing it per se. And every good horror movie production stands to benefit from a local nut job. I sincerely hope he makes it in to the film.

Lowell D.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks a lot Margaret!

Cheryl M.
Posted 7 months ago

Amazing work! Great special effects! You guys crack me up! Love the sense of humor in all your videos!

Posted 7 months ago

resourceful.

Aiden V.
Posted 7 months ago

very creepy

Nathan M.
Posted 7 months ago

I just love the concept of this. Looks like it was just a ton of fun on the set.

Kyle L.
Posted 7 months ago

show us more behind the scenes. can't wait to see all the extra footage on the DVD

David F.
Posted 7 months ago

I like the old-school mentality which shows that less is more (eg. the guts spilling) -- let the audience imagine things, instead of trying to hyper-realistically show everything.

Tim T.
Posted 7 months ago

Great stuff. My only criticism would be that this movie doesn't already exist for us all to purchase immediately.

Lowell D.
Posted 7 months ago

Haha! Thanks Tim.

Matt S.
Posted 7 months ago

Love this project.

Candy H.
Posted 7 months ago

smart

Siobhan W.
Posted 7 months ago

hahaha....cool

Gord G.
Posted 7 months ago

This movie looks fantastic!

Will B.
Posted 7 months ago

I've always been a fan of real effects. Having some background in working with make-up, I can see and appreciate the work that has gone into creating Wolfcop. Kudo's to the actor wearing the mask as well. What a sweaty mess.

Stephen S.
Posted 7 months ago

Practical effects always win for me. It is great that you have a talented team to help you out.

Colin P.
Posted 7 months ago

nice moves with the guts, looked awesome! I agree the werewolf makeup has room for improvement

Doug G.
Posted 7 months ago

Well done.

Dali V.
Posted 7 months ago

very nicely done. definitely want to see more from this team.

AChristine W.
Posted 7 months ago

well done

Adam G.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice. There's nothing I can really say to add to this, since you nailed the one point that every werewolf films should consider: Having a physical being do the monster, and do it well, to complete the illusion of a real creature.

Looking forward to seeing what else comes of this project.

No K.
Posted 7 months ago

wolf! wolf!

Shawn B.
Posted 7 months ago

Cheating and editing at its best!

Bryce M.

I agree.

Lots of support here

Stefanie C.

Peter S.
Posted 7 months ago

Definitely like the use of traditional make up, camera tricks, and use of practical effects.

Tyler S.
Posted 7 months ago

Great production value. Everyone on the team is very likeable. I can tell you're very professional and can get things made. I also appreciate your use of practical effects. I want you guys to succeed because of the above. Unfortunately, you're skills are going into a mediocre and cliche concept. I don't want a slice of your delicious production 'cuz I'm lactose intolerant. :/

Lowell D.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for your kind words. We love twisting cliches, so there will be some new surprises and fun added to what you may be expecting here. :)

Crystal V.
Posted 7 months ago

Great idea to get a real werewolf to save on the budget! Just make sure to have the camera ready when he attacks so you can save on the sfx/gags too!

Mickey B.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice guts shot!

Jameson C.
Posted 7 months ago

I can see why so many people are loving this... it's just lovable.

Thanks Chris!

Antonio J.
Posted 7 months ago

I love this so much I don't know how many times I have watched it!

Donal O.
Posted 7 months ago

I just wolfcop. Scaring babies is just funny (though as a dad i'd totally wolfcop his a$$ for scaring my daugter :-))

I appreciate that wolfcop is real rather than SFX and your sense of humour shines through. You could do a lot with $1m

Em K.
Posted 7 months ago

Ha, ha! Loved it when you scared that baby!

Cassandra W.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks real!

Awesome local nut job!

Blood and guts on a budget! Nice! The mask was really good, good work.

Giovanna G.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice practical cheap trick, I can't imagine that the make up was cheap but it looks great!

Redmond O.
Posted 7 months ago

The most important thing is a genre where lower-cost practical effects are appropriate and expected. Check. Dark scenes, lots of action and short takes help. Check. Beyond that, just talent and creativity. Check.

Lowell D.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks, Redmond!

Fernando P.
Posted 7 months ago

Excellent creativity and gives me a sense of how you have and how you will use "cheap tricks" in WolfCop!

Ryan G.

I love the practical use of makeup over CGI any day.

Michael K.
Posted 7 months ago

I hope you hold Jimmy Quint to his promise to make the werewolf sing and dance. What could make a better end credits?

Trevor L.
Posted 7 months ago

how much was actually spent on the trailer? just out of curiosity, because it looks good

Glenn L.

Lowell D.

Thanks. We love to turn anything into a story, even a mission video. :)

Jade t.

I think every mission video should be entertaining and insightful.. People should WANT to watch all of your stuff. Good work:)

Leslie H.
Posted 7 months ago

Love the "guts" trick. And that poor kid...although I have to admit I laughed.

Afzal H.
Posted 7 months ago

Great use of resources! Make sure you guys do a behind the scenes while in production. It'll be cool to see how it's done on the set.

Kirk S.

I really like the running gag of the real werewolf running about the set - at the same time mixed with a very informative vid about the concept trailer. Great job guys!

I love practical effects and makeup instead of CGI, especially when/if it works. Heavy masks are challenging, most don't move enough to convey emotions and character. Good luck, neat mission video.

I the practical approach you're taking. As well as your use of sound and camera angles.

Samantha L.

I really like the continuing story line you have from one mission video to the next. It's neat and effective at creating unity in all the parts of your project. Also I love fake syrupy gore! Give me that stuff over CGI any day.

Practical really is the way to go for a movie like this - the CG blood even in high budget movies still doesn't look right.

Nice use of a mask and make-up rather than CG. Very Guillermo del Toro.

Hmm good job, guys. Really was not a fan of the sudden inclusion of Jaws references, especially since I didn't feel the original trailer had any real element of it. Seems like it was either a ploy to gain some cred/popularity, or something thought of after the initial concept.

Thanks! We love Jaws, and are inspired by their use of practical effects in the movie. We know their shark didn't work, but since we won't have a big "Jaws" budget we know sometimes we will have to tease rather than show. That's all. - Team WolfCop

i'm definately all for practical over CGI, makes the lighting and "grit" of an effect feel present. that said, just my personal opinion, wasnt a huge fan of the look of the werewolf. i think the teeth threw me off the most.
