After graduating from high school, I went to Visual Arts School in New York and I could not find a cosmetic classroom so I joined the animation program - today I was crying. I think that it is possible to create characters using 2D technology, stop motion animation, clay animation while applying makeup techniques even outside the school. Here I met some very talented artists who worked in the world of makeup effect and helped them with some ongoing projects at that time.
JOEL HARLOW: When I started, the magic of the film in character creation really concentrated on the actual cosmetic effect. As the form of digital art evolves, it definitely removes cosmetic effects. But recently I noticed the actual makeup return. The movie I studied recently is a collaboration between two art forms. Building has barriers. And, like the practical elements I created for these departments, I will definitely help the Visual Effects department. Through open dialogue and mutual respect, we have created some very wonderful movie moments.
JOEL HARLOW: In the first movie I did a strange challenge. I took a low budget horror film in Florida. I could not have experienced at that time, but when I began manufacturing prosthetic cosmetic products, I did not coordinate with the wardrobe department. This special makeup is a devil's possessions of victims of melting and foaming skin - please see the pictures. Okay, I made a prosthesis in the middle of my forearm and thought that the wardrobe was a long-sleeved shirt. He left the best changing room. Fortunately, the colors of make-up are mixed with purple and brown, so I will use craft desk peanut butter and jelly to fill the rustic skin! Effectiveness
