Step behind the scenes of the film and television industry in our Movie Magic Makeup Camp where students will dive into the world of special effects makeup (SFX). Through hands-on training, campers will learn how professional makeup artists create realistic injuries and character transformations seen on screen.
Students will learn:

How to create realistic bruises and injuries
Frostbite and weathered skin effects
Aging techniques for “old age” makeup
Color theory and texture for believable effects
Proper use of makeup tools and materials
Creative problem-solving and character design

By the end of camp, students will put their imagination and newly learned skills to work by designing and creating their very own zombie character, from concept to final look!
