New York, NY – September 13, 2012 – Writer, director and superhero aficionado Kevin Smith guest judges on an all-new episode of
Face Off, Tuesday, September 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Syfy.
In the episode, the contestants are teamed up in pairs and tasked with
creating an original superhero and sidekick duo. Season two winner Rayce
Bird is also on hand to assist
the contestants with their designs.
Immediately following
Face Off, a visually stunning new competition series, Hot Set,
debuts at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Each week, the series will feature two
Hollywood production designers competing in an extreme design challenge
to create original movie sets inspired by
the science fiction, fantasy and horror genres. Radio and television
personality Ben Mankiewicz hosts, and judging the competition are some
of the most renowned names in the SFX world -- -- three-time Art
Director’s Guild Award nominee Curt Beech (The
Coup, The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez); two-time Oscar nominee Lilly Kilvert (The Last Samurai,
Legends of the Fall); and Art Director’s Guild Award nominee Barry Robison (X- Men Origins,
The Chronicles of Narnia).
In
the premiere, production designers Abra and Craig have just three days
and a budget of $15,000 to conceive and build a film quality world -- a
devastated alien landscape to be
explored by a crash-landed astronaut. The designers draw support from
their skilled team of carpenters and scenic painters, the expansive
Hot Set supply room, and many of the special effects houses
located in Hollywood. When time is up, the production designers have 30
minutes to shoot a scene on their original set.
