Television & Film Industry Make up in Vancouver BC

- Special effects makeup lab: "effects shop"

What goes on in a shop? A lot! Casting, mold making, sculpting, pouring and running of foam, making silicone appliances, fabricating fake bodies, and much more. Painters, illustrators, hair specialists, mechanical engineers, fabricators, and sculptures are employed at the shop. If you are thinking of working in a shop get ready to get "down and dirty" as the job entails working with molds and plaster among many other things. On-set the special effects makeup artist will be called out if there are intensive prosthetics involved that are out of the keys capabilities. They can be in charge of designing, applying and removing the makeup.
