Does physical transformation change an actor's core identity? Some use it as a tool, others a crutch. It's a fascinating craft where makeup, like for Bradley Cooper in Maestro or Colin Farrell in The Penguin, can help actors truly disappear into their roles. #Acting #Transformation #FilmMaking #Performance #CharacterDevelopment #MakeupArtistry #ActorLife #BehindTheScenes #Reels
Her Halloween costume? A white tee with 'Life' and a bowl of lemons to throw. Meanwhile, my elaborate zombie makeup lost. Creativity wins. #Creativity #ArtisticKids #CleverCostume #HalloweenFun #Parenting #Inspiration #MomLife #Artist #Reels
On this week's episode of Walsh Wednesday, we have Hollywood Makeup FX Artist Mark Viniello! It was a blast catching up, and trust me, we had a lot to talk about. We start off talking about his upbringing in and around the Hudson Valley, and how his early days with family and with Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion led him on the path that he's on today!
We discuss moments of his career, from declaring he will work on a Jurassic Park movie when he saw the first one at the Poughkeepsie Galleria to flying to New Zealand to work on The Lord of the Rings to being on the ground floor of Stranger Things designing the demigorgons.
