Syfy Trying To Capitalize on 'Face Off' With 'Camera Ready'

Admittedly, Syfy's reality series, Face Off, if entertaining and informative. 

To watch aspiring makeup artists create great looking creations that have to stand up to the rigorous review of present-day industry experts, plus survive tests such as stage performances and what not, can be a hoot to watch.

It's a well rated series for the cable net.

Now, from the Mission Control Media is looking to possibly capitalize on the success of Face Off and is launching a new reality series called Camera Ready.

In this new reality competition series,

[press release snippet]:

"...ten visionary costume designers will stretch imagination and artistry by competing in challenges to create works of costume art for film, television and music videos. Each week, the contestants will realize fantastical characters through their dazzling costume creations, incorporating non-traditional materials and technology – such as fiber optics – into some pieces.  The contestants will be judged by a panel of industry heavy-weights - from Oscar-winning costume designers, cutting-edge directors and avant-garde fashionistas – with one designer ultimately taking home the $100,000 grand prize."

When I first heard of Face Off, I was not inspired.  But of course, was surprised. 

Again, a contest about people dressing up actors does not seem all that inspiring to me.  Yet once again, I could be proven wrong.

We'll see!

No word on when Camera Ready will premiere yet on Syfy.
