"That means the rest of you can head back to the makeup room." "Thanks." "♪ ♪" "Ben and Evan." "Please step up." "Going up in front of the judges with this makeup right off the bat makes me second-guess myself." "This doesn't look good." "Ben and Evan." "Please step up." "[tense music]" "♪ ♪" "Guys, tell me about how you approached this challenge." "Our initial idea was to get rid of the human form and have giant arms to propel this thing." "Yeah, we didn't want to burden ourselves with too many legs." "I dig the head, but when you decided not to pursue the multiple legs, you made a mistake." "♪ ♪" "I think it certainly would have been more efficacious in representing your creature, especially in a green screen challenge, to have pursued that multiple leg concept, and I know that you're definitely better than what you presented here tonight." "Dudes, I don't know what the hell you were thinking of." "These giant legs look like totem poles that were painted by a bunch of three-year-olds." "[sighs]" "The potential of the silhouette of this is cool." "But I say the potential, 'cause the disconnect between head and body, they are of two separate worlds, so this one's very bittersweet for me." "Ben and Evan." "Can you please head back?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "♪ ♪" "Next time." "Rachael and Gage?" "♪ ♪" " Hi, guys." " Hi." "Hi, Ve." "Tell us about your skeleton shrimp alien, please." "She's from a water planet." "She is transparent and bioluminescent." "I think you did a really good job utilizing the green screen element for this." "[relieved sigh]" "This is really clever, what you worked out." " Thank you." " I mean, she is basically see-through, which is really cool." " Yeah." " I particularly love these claw hands..." "they look really spectacular on the screen as well." " Great job, guys." " Oh, thank you so much." "[laughter]" "The claws are my favorite thing because not only are they just great the way they look, but that one simple cord was enough to express an internal nerve system, so some very smart thinking, and some of the most successful effect." "Thank you very much." "Some of the sculpting's a little rough, and that would be problematic in another challenge." "In this challenge, it's exactly what you needed to do, because you're trying to create all these shapes and get a full-body look." "This is what we expect out of vets." "You can make some of these more complex decisions and you did that wonderfully." " Thank you very much, Glenn." " Thanks." "Rachael and Gage, you can step back." "Stella and Jasmine." "Please come forward." "♪ ♪" " Hello." " Hi." "So tell us about your alien that's inspired by the helmet jellyfish." "We looked at it as having that really great opportunity to use the green screen to remove the legs and then go from there." "The proportion is totally off." "When shaping stuff and doing things in a beautiful and elegant way, you have to step back and look at the balance of thin to thick." "And right now, that cheekbone, for example, is one solid pipe, and it makes the whole thing feel less elegant than I think you're capable of." "Okay." "I feel like the arms, and their positioning, is a massive problem." "The arm crosses constantly, so when you see it onscreen, it's crossing elements that are meant to be present in the composite while the performer's arms underneath are supposed to be invisible." "You could solve a lot of your problems by getting the performer's arms underneath and running a few rods below." "That way, when they were gesticulating, the performer's arms would have remained hidden, and it would look like they were invisible." "Right." "Stella and Jasmine, if you'd please head back." "Thank you." "♪ ♪" "Keaghlan and Melissa." "♪ ♪" "Hi, guys." " Hello." " Hey." "Start by telling me about the concept." "Our creature is supposed to be an evolved alien." "She is composed of many beings, and the smaller pieces on her arms are drones." "Love the head." "Thank you." "It is stunning." "Then you accentuated the whole thing with an amazing array of different skills and techniques." "Both:" "Thank you." "So bitchin'." "She really looks cool." "I love the glowing membrane." "Really nicely done." "Both:" "Thank you." "The graphic design, the break-up, the texturing, and the palette are exquisite." " Thank you so much." " Thank you." "Keaghlan and Melissa, you can step back." "♪ ♪" " Good job." " Yeah!" "Thanks, guys." "If you'll please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate." "♪ ♪" "All right, let's start with your favorites." "How about Rachael and Gage?" "I loved that one." "You just saw right through it." "It was probably the best use of green screen." "I agree, particularly in the claws." "And that little detail of just putting one cord through it to indicate an internal nerve system," "I thought was such a smart detail." "Unbelievable how it all separated out perfectly." "You even saw the bones in the neck." "All right, let's talk about Keaghlan and Melissa." "It's great to see such intelligence behind a concept that was very exciting, and really beautiful." "The head is utterly gorgeous." "We often say, "Lights weren't the best use of time."" "This was a perfect example of when it was a very good use of time." "That said alien, 'cause you really thought there was some sort of ethereal-type thing floating around in there, and it was really quite cool." "All right, let's move on to the looks that didn't quite work for you." "Why don't we start with Ben and Evan?" "Not even a side of garlic butter would make this better." "[laughing]" "I don't know how they could have let it go that far off the rails." "The head is okay, but the arms, and the dragging appendage hanging off the back of it?" "It's just ridiculous." "Well, maybe it just went south when they started painting it and didn't realize how goofy it was till it was too late." "I think they both know what they did, and next week they have no choice but to really turn it on." "All right, let's move on to Stella and Jasmine." "I think they had a pretty good idea." "I just don't think it was quite cohesive enough." "There was the white, the clear, the legs, and then that big red head sticking out of all of it." "The net result was a human head floating in a discongruous mass of poorly-fabricated tentacles." "The arm crossing it and disappearing it constantly was a massive problem, and it's just a part of the challenge that was too complex for them." "All right, judges, have you chosen tonight's winner, then?" "Yeah, we have." "Let's bring 'em back out." "All right, Glenn." "Tell us about the top teams." "Keaghlan and Melissa." "We loved your inventive, artistic head sculpture, and your high-concept thinking's absolutely welcome here this season." "Rachael and Gage, your use of green screen was just stellar, and those semi-translucent hands were a particularly standout element." "All right, Glenn." "Who is our winning team?" "The winning team tonight is... [suspenseful music]" "♪ ♪" "All right, Glenn." "Who is our winning team?" "The winning team tonight is... [suspenseful music]" "Keaghlan and Melissa." "[applause]" "We loved the incredible head of your character design, and the overall image of your floating alien." "In concert with the background that you chose, it was very successful." "Congratulations." "Both:" "Thank you." "[imitates explosion]" "Having a teammate, and winning with a teammate, is crazy cool." "You know, it feels out of this world, and, you know, it's... if..." " Literally." " Literally out of this world!" "Keaghlan and Melissa, congratulations." "As winners of tonight's challenge, your team has won immunity in next week's Spotlight Challenge." "[laughter]" "All right, well, for those of you on the bottom tonight, you will have a chance to redeem yourselves next week, so make sure to step it up." "All right, everyone." "You can all head home and get some rest." " Good night." "all:" " Good night." " Thank you." " Thank you, guys." "Being a Bottom Look in the first challenge is a terrible feeling, and I feel like we've just really jeopardized our second chance." "So, whatever the next challenge is," "Ben and I have to make a comeback." "Next time on Face Off..." "We are going to ask you to do something that has never been done before." "This wasn't really to work out." "Ooh, it did not set." "I have no fight left in me." "Two of you will be going home tonight."
