Slime, Blood, and Gutz: An Intro To SFX Makeup
Student Portrait by Illyana Bocanegra
It’s 2020 and it’s no surprise digital effects have their place in the independent film industry but what about make-up? In our opinion, not only does practical sfx makeup often look more “real” but it’s can also be more budget-friendly!
Today, we’re sharing some photos from our Intro to SFX workshop, where students used both DIY tricks and professional grade makeup to achieve their looks & learn through project-based class assignments & exercises.
Our 12-hour intro weekend workshop is designed to give students an in-depth introduction to special effects makeup with direct guidance and feedback from professional MUA Jennifer Cunningham. Students will learn insider tried & true tips & tricks from Jennifer’s #setlife as well as industry standards and recipes. We want to give students the chance to flex their creative muscles hands-on as they learn from a well-versed industry MUA. Jennifer’s client work spans from feature, short, editorial, corporate, commercial and everything in between.
We cover topics such as: wounds and zombie make-up, body paint for illusion and using common grocery store items to achieve looks without compromising your budget.
Take a peek both behind the scenes of the class and final portraits below then get ready for even more gore because SFX II: Monsters & Wounds is taking place THIS WEEKEND! Expect a full recap with photos next week.
