Mermaid tails from The Movie Hook.... and Power Ranger?

[Azurin Luna]

I think the Hydra monofin is just like that, but alot cheaper.
I also found this one http://www.fins4u.co.uk/products/Fre...%20details.htm They seem to be willing to adjust the blade to your likings

[Sammi Ray]

I think his more right at the toe point but thats still a GREAT find thank you, now i know where to purchase my monofin from and its cheaper than the finis Competitor <3 Thank you so much!

[Azurin Luna]

You're welcome, I'm going to purchase a white hydra monofin, so I need as little adjustments to my tail design.

[Sammi Ray]

that's cool you can get angled monofins too making it look more like the hook mermaid

It seems like making a longer tail like this while still being swimable is the new "holy grail" in mermaiding if you ask me.

[Jeronposted]

Def was not cgi. Although the tail was constructed beautifully you can just tell that the tail was lengthened and padded in certain areas to hide the obvious bends in the ankle and foot area giving that really nice 'S' curve when she swims

wow i love this

Looks like http://www.creation-sirene.sitew.com/#Full_silicone.C tails! She is AMAZING! And the pricing is terrific!

I've come across this photo multiple times on the net.

And I've come across a set of photo's that included these...

They both look VERY similar to the structure used for the 'Hook' tails. I think these may be from some Malaysian or Philippine soap. I doubt the tails were cgi though

Oh yes, I'm very familiar with this video. I'm beginning to think this type of tail is the most realistic out there. I wonder if Mertailor, FinFolk, MerBella, Flip Tails, etc would create this type of tail.

Personally I'd order from this tailor instead of asking one of them for a tail like this. Not because they aren't good tail makers but S.C has experience making this tail already and wouldn't be learning from scratch.

What tail maker is that creating these? Maybe I'm brand new, but I can't find it. lol

She's known as Mermaid Aquata now, and unfortunately she doesn't sell her tails to the public anymore. At least as of last month when I reached out to her.

I know this post is an older one but I wanted to add that I was the coordinator for the FX Make up on Hook. we sculpted and made the tails along with the aging make up on Maggie Smith and all of the elf ears etc.

[Mermaid Alea]

That is awesome JCLogan! What did you make the tails out of?
I'm not sure how familiar you are with the merfolk community, but we still have a lot of merfolk trying to make tails that are next level realistic like the ones you worked on for the Hook movie.

Also, fantastic job on the FX artwork. I love the Hook movie and I love the artistic work that goes into movies especially when it is special FX work and prop making.

I wish I knew how they made that long tail!! Currently working on a long tail concept. Getting special monofins made, but yet to test them. Its been a mission and I'm hoping it pays off!
