Así es como lucirían los monstruos de ‘Bird Box’

El escultor Andy Bergholtz, quien trabajó en Bird Box, realizó unas piezas que muestran el aspecto de las criaturas mortíferas de la cinta de suspenso Bird Box, la cual ha alcanzado cifras récords de visualizaciones desde su estreno en Netflix.

Bergholtz, quien también es especialista en efectos especiales, diseñó una escultura “promedio” de los monstruos que asolan el mundo en Bird Box, cuyo principal atractivo es que nunca son mostrados en la pantalla.

Basada en la aclamada novela de Josh Malerman, Bird Box es una cinta en la que unas extrañas criaturas te llenaran de tristeza hasta el punto de quitarte la vida.

Sobre la escultura, el artista expresó que el espectador debe tener en cuenta que “la ‘visión’ fatal que cada personaje vio sería muy diferente para cada persona. Lo entenderás si has visto la película. […] Teniendo en cuenta su estado embarazada y su arco emocional a través de la película, los productores sintieron que la pesadilla de Sandra Bullock tendría algo que ver con una criatura retorcida y demoníaca bebé que la atacaba”

Acá te dejamos el aspectos de estas criaturas según Bergholtz:

*Some spoilers ahead for BIRD BOX, continue reading at your own risk!* We had the unique pleasure of designing a creepy makeup for the film, although the scene ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. Keep in mind, the fatal “vision” that each character saw would most likely be different for each person (you’ll understand if you’ve seen the film), and this makeup appeared in a cut “dream/nightmare sequence” with Sandra Bullock’s character. Considering her pregnant state and emotional arc thru the movie, the producers felt Sandra’s nightmare would have something to do with a twisted, demonic baby creature attacking her (that’s as much as I could gather about the context of the scene anyway). I sculpted at least 3 or 4 variations on the design before it was approved, which began as a more aggressive, monstery look and was revised to be a bit more subtle in the end. I also had the pleasure of painting the finished prosthetics before sending them to set, to be worn and performed by the one and only Dirk Rogers @thehalloweendirk, applied by the great @proutyfx. It’s funny, I read an interview recently where Bullock described the creature as a “snake-like, green man with a horrific baby face”. Many folks have speculated what the creature may have looked like, but they fail to realize the “snake-like green man” portion was simply Dirk in a spandex green-screen suit 😄. Everything from the neck down was intended to be a giant CGI creature/body added later. In the end, I actually really liked the movie and think it was better off NOT showing the makeup. Kudos to the director for sticking to her guns on that one. Still a fun project to be a part of, thanks Howie! @hoops511 #netflix #birdbox
