I've been thinking...

as I do...

makeup artists are rather unsung - are they not? I mean... these guys/gals are artists like actors and set designers etc, so I'm considering a (spn) makeup artist appreciation post. (yeah I know... too much time on my hands.../o\) Possibly not enthralling viewing but these guys deserve some lovin'!

So, if you can rec me some makeup highlights over the last 7 years I'd appreciate it (and no I'm not talking about the time SamnDean have made up... sheesh...). Off the top of my head I'm thinking Dean after Lucifer!Sam beat him to a pulp in Swan Song. Even Sam in Born Again Idenity. Maybe some of the monsters...? I think Dean's transformation in Skin has to be up there... that was pretty amazing.

In other news... I ordered the Vote Winchester & Winchester T shirt. I ordered large cause I wanted it nice and baggy. It arrived today and seriously? That's a large? I would hate to see medium or small. I reckon it would be about an Aus size 8. I guess returning it isn't possible. Looks like it might be an incentive to start jogging again...

I did wonder... it doesn't particularly look like CGI though...maybe it is a bit of both. I was looking at that bit where his teeth fall out...(ughh), and I have no idea how they created that...

Special effects aren't just cgi. There's make-up effects, explosions, squibs, mechanical effects-- all kinds of things. In fact there's a movie about a sfx guy-- called F/X, ironically enough-- that's actually pretty good. ;)

Oh yes...very true. I did wonder though if CGi as involved, but looking at it I'd say not. Maybe a model with time lapse perhaps...

And I know that film! I remember watching it years ago. It IS pretty good - even with Bryan Brown in it...;)
