Making of "Oh, My Domovoi": Simone's replacement faces
Simone, the main character of the film, had to emote. It took a lot of failed prototypes to figure out the technique, but it finally came together and was not too hard to execute.

The head "base" and the faces were all 3D printed on a Formlabs Form2 printer with white resin. After the prints cured magnets were attached to the back of each face and then everything got painted with acrylic paint.
