Never before seen footage of Tupac Shakur. Just sharing clips of Tupac from hours of video as special effects make up was applied and Tupac prepared for his final scene in the movie, BULLET. Sorry, it’s put together quickly, unprofessionally, it’s quiet…but at least you haven’t seen it before! There were no bodyguards, no paparazzi, not even one loyal fan was waiting for a glimpse of the Rapper Actor. We were at a cold night shoot in Coney Island. Tupac was quiet, friendly, polite and alone. It was just us; two special effect make up artists, I with my camera and Tupac, in a small unglamorous room. Tupac sat, I taped and two make up effects artists applied a neck appliance (fake neck) with a hidden hose. Few words were exchanged. The camera stayed on for the whole quiet experience … it totaled close to two hours, of special effects make up being applied to Tupac, then a few minutes of some candid shooting on the street showing the magic of movie special effects make up in use, on the actual movie set which became a fake bloody mess as Tupac’s character’s neck is slashed in a dark Coney Island corridor.
