from comingsoon.net:
Hollywood can't seem to get enough of Southern Tier native Tim Phoenix's special effects.
The 1994 Chenango Forks High School graduate has three major contracts under way at the same time: Where the Wild Things Are, due out this year; Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, due in 2006; and Spider-Man 3, due in 2007.
"It's a dream come true," said the 28-year-old Phoenix, who lives in Hollywood. "Life is too short to pass any of these particular projects up, so I will fight and claw to make them happen."
Phoenix said that while he has been kept busy with high-profile movies, he's pleased to be in demand.
"This is all sort of getting so big for me now," he said. "It just must be my time, and that is just the beginning."
In the movie Where the Wild Things Are, Phoenix helped create many of the gigantic creatures. The movie is based on the popular children's book by Maurice Sendak.
For the sequel of the Pirates of the Caribbean, Phoenix and his crew are making 2,500 sculpted, foam latex prosthetics that will later have makeup applied to them. The prosthetics will be used on the "freakish" pirates, Phoenix said.
He's under contract not to talk much about Spider-Man 3, but Phoenix did say that the crew is in the conceptual design process for the villains, who are Man-Wolf and Venom.
"It's super cool stuff and I am in my element here for these particular creations," he said. "I am living in 'the dream' out here. It is just so surreal."
The special effects artist's work was recently seen in Spider-Man 2, where he worked on designing the tentacles for villain Dr. Octopus. He worked on the mechanics behind their movement and helped with on-screen puppeteering.
Phoenix also worked on the mechanical baby and mechanical dog head in the Son of the Mask, which is currently playing at the State Theatre in Deposit.
"It is a very interesting journey so far, and the weird part is that it just keeps escalating," he said. "Every day, I am getting closer and closer to the sources of the most successful people out there, and that makes things all the more real to me."
lets pray they can do the venom story right!
