RJ Haddy's FX University,
ANNOUNCE NEW STREAMING Feature with 5-Part Classic Monster Makeup FX classes-beginning OCTOBER 2020
Hey my little monster maniacs!
FXU and I, are very excited to announce the ability to stream lessons and classes from this point onward. The decision was made, regardless of what public schools are doing currently, it just wasn't safe to try and hold in person classes moving forward, the only way to continue to teach safely during the time of Covid-19 was to take FXU classes online! Now that Zoom is connecting people around the world, Rj's FXU courses can be taken from the comfort of your own homes!
To that end, for all you monster fans of all ages, we've come up with a very innovative five part lesson series to build up your out of kit construction skills! Each of the classic monster makeups themselves, The COUNT, The PHARAOH, The MONSTER'S WIFE, The WOLF, and The MONSTER himself, could be tiered, and taught, in order of complexity; using one characters skill set to prepare for the next character lessons coming up! This is the series, to really help you build and cement your out of kit construction makeup FX skills! Any skill level can get something out of this series of classes. You can interact with me, and work at home at your own pace with the Zoom live meeting. Afterwards, you will have a full years access to the live video recorded lesson here on the FXU archive. Anyone age 7 and up, is welcome to join us.
Check out the individual course descriptions below and then click the link in each one to register for the class of your choice. Take as many, or as few, as you like, but remember, each weeks lesson will build on the previous weeks skill set. As the month progresses the skills get more challenging. If you are new to FX makeup, I'd recommend taking all five. I can promise you one thing, if you register for all five classes and practice one hour each day, by Halloween you will be a lean, mean, monster making machine! PLUS, at ONLY $25 a person, per class it's a deal that can't be beat for over 8 hours of instruction time!
Before the class commences an e mail will be sent with your password for the Zoom meeting AND a materials list of items that will be necessary will be posted online. If you wish to work along with Rj, you can procure those items on your own, or work from your own kit. If you wish to simply sit and watch you are more than welcome to do that as well. One person per registration, please!
Thanks for looking! Hope to see you in the class!
Rj~
I also have a special little offering for PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS: If you are interested in streaming me to your classrooms, contact me by e mail through the contact page and we can even work out a special course for you during the school day!
