Description:
I'm going to shoot some catfish in a refrigerator. I went old school and hooked up my turntable for the working tunes. I made a box that I hope I can get to look like the inside of a refrigerator, and I made some catfish. I showed the fish to a friend and he said the fish look racist(!) Like Al Jolson/blackface type thing. I was mortified, as this is not what I was trying to do.... I'm thinking of removing the black clay from the lips and eyebrows and just using the gray. Any suggestions as to how I can get these fish looking like catfish and not some racists caricature, please feel free.... (although my own suggestion to myself is to get someone who can actually sculpt... )
