Remake Hockey Mask Question - Cap10Rhodes - 02-26-2009
Are the remake hockey masks made of plastic or fiberglass? Anyone know for sure?
Remake Hockey Mask Question - Crash - 02-26-2009
From Scott Stoddard himself (creator of the new mask and FX guru on the film) . . . ."I got a copy of a mask from Part 3 and I utilized it and looked at it. There were some things I wanted to change and make a bit different. I wanted to keep it within the realm of where it needed to be. I did a few sculpts and then I tried to make it a bit more user-friendly for Derek, who is gonna be wearing this thing. Once I got the shape right, I molded it, made a two-part mold from it and instead of doing a fiberglass or vacuform -- I'd heard that ones in the past were made like that, they were just fiberglass -- I knew that Derek was gonna be doing a lot of physical stuff in this film so I made a core for it and basically made it out of a really high-strength resin that was more like a heavy, dense plastic. It can take a hit. It can be pounded into. Derek has been smashed in the face, he's been kicked in the face a bunch of times. He's a stuntman as well, so he's like, "Yeah, go ahead and hit me, I got a hockey mask on." In the hockey world, old hockey masks were made out of whale bone, they would carve whale bone into the shape of a face mask. So I thought it would be cool if I could get something that's not as strong as bone but can take a hit and be light enough -- then it can be a stuntmask as well."
