Tom Savini's FX - Two Evil Eyes

I always love hearing Tom Savini talk about his FX work. He really likes to break it down and emphasize that this is all basically creative problem solving. He really gets into how this is all about figuring out what images the mind needs to see in order for it to perceive that a specific effect is occurring  I mean it really is all a bit of an obvious concept, but hearing him talk about it, hearing him spell it out helps you really remember what should be obvious, but can often get convoluted when you're in the moment trying to make things happen. Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one.
