The Costumer: Are transfers like the ones Tinsley Transfers offers becoming more and more popular on the costume scene today? Aaron McFarland:The transfers have been used in film and television for over 15 years. We are slowly building the awareness of transfers in the costume community. But when people give it a shot and see how much time is saved and much quality is added, it is easy to keep them on the transfer train. The Costumer: What are some of the newest offerings in the category—things members of the NCA should know and learn about? novation from the Tinsley Lab is our the skin irritation and the hassle of trying to find the magic moment to apply prosthetics and hair. The Costumer: Are there any secrets to creating a realistic-looking transfer? McFarland:It’s all about the edges. Besides the ease of application, the edges of latex and foam pieces can never compare to a transfer. If you can get an edge that needs little to no blending you are over half way there.

About Tinsle y Trans fers
Founded by Hollywood make-up and special effects artist Christien Tinsley, Tinsley Transfers was established in 1999 during the filming of the movie Pearl Harbor. While working on approximately 40 extras who required multiple wound and burn effects daily, Christien realized the need for a quick, timesaving tool to create such effects. The end result was an easy-to-apply tattoo transfer with an emphasis on continuity and reality of the effects.
Tinsley Transfers Inc. has provided custom temporary tattoo transfers for Vin Diesel in XXX, Brad Pitt in The Ocean Films, Sean Penn in Mystic River, Gary Oldman in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Wentworth Miller in Prison Break, Adrian Brody in High School and Justin Timberlake in Alpha Dog. Along with the 2-D transfers, Christien also developed and implemented “Prosthetic Transfer,” a 3-D prosthetic that is transferred to the skin, during the filming of The Passion of the Christ. Christien received an Academy Award nomination in 2005 and an Academy Award for Scientific and Technical Achievement in 2008 for this revolutionary process.

Reviews for "Honoring the Past: Mascot Restoration Projects in [Area]"
1. John - 1-star rating
I had a terrible experience with the mascot restoration service in my area. Not only was the quality of their work extremely poor, but they also charged me an exorbitant amount of money for their services. The restored mascot looked nothing like the original, and the colors were completely off. Additionally, they didn't finish the job on time and kept making excuses for the delays. Overall, I would not recommend this service to anyone who values quality and professionalism.
2. Sarah - 2-star rating
I was expecting a lot more from the mascot restoration service in my area, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The communication with the company was difficult from the start, and they seemed disorganized and unprofessional. The restored mascot had several noticeable flaws, and it was clear that they didn't pay attention to detail. Moreover, the customer service was lacking, as they were unresponsive to my concerns and didn't offer any solutions to fix the issues. I would advise anyone considering this service to look elsewhere for a more reliable and competent restoration service.
3. Mike - 1-star rating
I had a terrible experience with the mascot restoration service in my area. The restored mascot looked like it was rushed, with sloppy paintwork and visible brush strokes. The overall craftsmanship was unacceptable, and it was clear that they didn't take their time to do a proper restoration job. Additionally, the staff was unhelpful and unfriendly when I expressed my dissatisfaction with their work. I would strongly advise against using this service if you want a high-quality and skillful restoration of your mascot.
