Article	Empedocles (The X-Files)
Portion used	Full Frame
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	To illustrate a poignant scene in the episode (infobox). In order to create the "Lava Face" effect, actor Jay Underwood's face was painted with a green face paint. A mask with pre-cut slits was then placed over the skin. Underwood then tore the mask off of his own face, revealing streaks of the green coloring. A matte of the scene was then cut and various fire effects were placed into Underwood's face via green screen technology. In order to make the "cracks" appear, digital technology was created to "smooth over" the skin and then slowly reveal the pre-cut slits. This picture illustrates clearly to the viewer the effect and how it worked.
