I haven't been here for a while but I see my account is still in tack. There's been a lot of buzz and nostalgia regarding my nearly 50 years of work in film and TV. I get interviewed all the time for books, film, and podcasts, and one of the topics that always comes up besides GhostBusters is Mac Tonight.
At age 70 I still have a 2000 sq ft studio in Ventura called SNG Studio where Mary and I have been for 9 years now. It will be 10 next. Hard to believe as I plug away as I have always done being a maker. I never stop, I just love the work too much. Everything from making and directing Films to models and masks I am doing there.
Mac is one of those fond memories in my career. Working with my dear friends Doug Jones, Bob Burns, and my late wife Gilly Neill were good times.
So I have a lot of requests for something, Mac Tonight. I have a mask store online and I get asked this often. And since a full sized mask is just not practical or affordable. It was a big mask.
What I'm doing is a half scale resin figure that will last forever unlike rubber. I'm working with Matt Sanders with an autograph company that does Ghostbusters autographs which is how we met. I worked on the original movie and was in the film and doing makeup effects. If all goes well the first castings will be signed by myself and Doug.
There are two videos so far. The first one has the wrong title at the beginning. The second shows the sculpture being roughed out while I tell my Hollywood stories about working on Mac with Bob Burns and Doug Jones.
Enjoy.
