l-AGE 8 — THE DECREE — MARCH 3,1994
Makeup artist
explains some
special effects
By KIMBERLY CURSEEN
This year’s North Carolina
Wesleyan’s Symposium, spon
sored by the Art and Music De
partment, featured a program with
“Horror Maestro” Tom Savini.
Savini, an expert special ef
fects and makeup artist, answered
questions about his art, and the
many movies he has acted, di
rected, and created special effects
for. Some of the movies he has
acted in and created special ef
fects for are: Night Riders; Fri
day 13th (n, IV), Creep Show,
and The Manic.
Savini showed a narrated
documentary showing how some
of his special effects, stunts, and
costumes are created. The film
TAKING ms BEST SHOTS — Dr. David Jones shoots baskets
for the Special Olympics. Jones hit 84 out of 100 free throws.
Article to appear
showed how Savini tries to make
all of his effects as realistic as
possible.
His motto is “... the real thing
is always best.” For instance in
one of his movies intestines were
seen being eaten by zombies; in
actuality they were pig intestines
and guts, instead of plastic repli
cas.
Savini gave Wesleyan students
a treat when he allowed three stu
dents to shoot professor Dr. Todd
Burke.
Using a special effect it ap
peared that students had actually
shot Dr. Burke. In reality Savini
attached a special device that
would explode red dye when he
set it off. This is a common effect
that is used in movies. Savini ex
plained that this procedure does
pose some risk to the actor be
cause it is possible that the de
vice may explode inward instead
of outward, burning the actor.
When asked about the
presentation, junior. Dawn
Koslakowski said, “It was great.
Dr. Burke’s expression was hys-
taical.”
Savini, in the documentary,
related to the audience that his
mentor was silent movie actor and
makeup artist Lon Chaney. After
seeing one of Chaney’s movies
as a child, Savini said his life
changed, and his love for art and
movie makeup and special effects
were bom.
“I went from hanging out on
the comer to hanging out in my
room,” he said. “I was amazed
how he (Lon Chaney) could alter
his appearance and, could be dif
ferent people with makeup.” He
even named his first son Lon af
ter his idol.
(Continued from Front Page)
authors of the articles in the Jour
nal of American College Health
are usually holders of Doctorate
and Masters degrees.
The article is tided “R.N. Di
rected Student Health Service,
Protocols and Standing Order.”
The article originated in college
when Nurse Stump wrote it in a
research class. The information
explained in the article includes
“Single Practice Nursing,” which
includes many Protocols and
Standing Orders.
These Protocols are guidelines
and mles that a nurse must keep
when caring for the college com
munity.
Nurse Stump said most people
think that college nursing is easy.
Stump said that is not trae, and
that there ate many difficult rules
and regulations that must be fol
lowed in order to succeed. Stump
also said that small schools often
hire nurses rather th^ doctors be
cause of money. This means that
much more stress and responsi-
, bility is put on the nurse to per^
form his/her job. Nurse Stump
hopes this article can “help nurses
try to do it right.”
The process that Stump had to
go through to get published was
quite difficult. The article had to
go through many review boards,
which critiqued the article. These
committees were seated in Ala
bama and Washington D.C., and
they decide if an article can pass.
Nurse Stump said she “was very
lucky” to get the article published.
She had to do three revisions of
her original draft, and said that
without the support of her friends
and colleagues she would have
never finished.
Stump said, “It is exciting and
rewarding to smdy and woik with
college students. Those that show
up for their appointments, that is.”
Nurse Stump plans to attend
graduate school in the future, so
she will be able to prescribe medi
cine and do lab work.
After this article comes out
Nurse Stump is planning yet an
other article to be published. The
second article will explain “Pa
tient Compliance” which is how
to get college students to do what
they need to get well. The article
will include how to get students
to take their medication, get rest,
and basically follow the Doctor/
Nurse’s directions.
Stump said that “if everyone
was a good consumer of health
care, we would all be better off.”
