Monster Monster and Rick Baker

Rob Bottin is a prodigy who achieved amazing feats at the young age of 22. Did you know that his master is also a great artist representing the industry?

Rick Baker, another genius in the special effects makeup world, used the process of the main character's transformation into a werewolf to create a seamless long take in John Landis' monster comedy `` An American Werewolf in London '' (1981).

She is like a child of special makeup.

Baker first met Bottin when he saw Bottin's sketches. Surprised by Bottin's drawing ability, which befits his 14-year-old age, Baker invited him to work on `` The Dissolved Man '' (1977) and trained Bottin's skills as a staff member. For this reason, the relationship between the two was often brought up as a subject of comparison. When Baker released ``An American Werewolf in London'' after Bottin's `` The Howling '', it attracted attention as a ``werewolf showdown'' that seemed to take revenge on the apprentice who had challenged him to a fight. Object X from the Planet has also been compared from time to time with Baker's `` Videodrome '' (1983), as its image of rotting internal organs is similar.

Even though her technical skills as a special make-up artist were her own, the creatures she created using them were extremely original, and were elevated to the level of art to the point of being hailed as ``beautiful.'' Baker said that Bottin's sense as a conceptual artist, which goes beyond his special makeup techniques, was clearly demonstrated.

"I'm proud of what Rob has accomplished. Maybe one day I'll become a man known only for being the person who raised him (laughs)."

In recognition of Bottin's incredible ability to learn and apply his skills, Baker reportedly sent him a painting. It is a picture of Dr. Frankenstein holding his head in his hands as he faces the Monster he has created.
