I apologize if it seems like I'm being combative, you can like that mask. I've just seen the H20 mask torn to pieces and the H6 put on a pedestal, and borderline shoved down my throat for years.Because I just love the look of that H6 mask, is that okay? Haha
By the way, I hope you know I'm not angry or anything like that. An unfortunate result of reading comments is you can't hear the tone of voice of the person talking. I don't have any beef with you, we're cool.
Also sorry for posting a comment and then deleting it, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I figured it would be better to have all of this in one single comment.
By the way, I'll also like to clear another thing up. The knb mask is only visible on screen in three scenes, in the classroom scene in a far away shot, in the gate scene for a couple of shots, and a single shot during the final battle that's less than half a second.Sorry but regardless it still looks horrible to me. And the mask changes are still very noticeable throughout the film.
The rest of the scenes that have the knb, you can not see it, since Michael is a silhouette in those scenes as shown in some of the screenshots I posted. So it's not noticeable through out the movie.
During the daytime, every single shot of Michael during this potion of the movie is the Stan Winston mask, with the except for that far away shot during the classroom scene I mentioned.
By the way, I wanted to clear something up. Even if they went with the H6, the Knb mask shots, as well as the cgi mask shot would still exist in the movie. The Knb was the first mask used, and was used for a good chunk of the movie, till a producer told them it didn't look like Michael.Yes I’ve seen the film many times haha. I’m saying even still for me it doesn’t look great or work. Like I said I wish they just stuck with the H6 mask from the opening scene for the entirety of the film.
A modified remold version of the H6 was created without telling Steve Miner first. The day they had to shoot the opening, Miner found out and wasn't too happy about not being told ahead of time. After a few arguments, Miner agreed to use the mask in the opening for a couple quick flashes, while a new mask was being created.
This new mask was created by Stan Winston himself. This mask resembled Michael from the first movie more. Since they were on a tight schedule, they didn't have time to reshoot every shot of the mask, so they prioritized the close up shots of the mask.
The few shots of the Knb mask left in the film were edited down, to make it less noticeable when watching the movie. Thankfully most of the Knb mask shots were ones in heavy shadows.
As said before, the shot of the Knb mask during the garbage disposal scene was unable to be reshot, so they alerted it with cgi.
In any case, even if they went with the H6 mask, his eyes would've still been shown on the terrible home video releases. The size of the eyeholes would've still been the same, the same hair style. And the shots of the other mask would've still been in the movie. In other words, it would've changed nothing.
