LOCKED IN THE CELLAR CREATIONS, SPECIAL EFFECTSWhat is your current job title?
Special FX Make-up Artist, or Special FX Artist (if we're only providing non make-up related SPFX, like creatures, props or blood FX) What steps did you take to get where you are today? Brian: I got divorced and basically restarted my whole life. I met someone just as crazy as I am, with a good sense of business and together we pursued my life long dream to become a professional Special FX artist. Desirée: We focused on building up a portfolio and improving/expanding our skills, as well as a whole lot of networking. If you couldn’t do this job anymore, what would you want to do? Desirée: I'd be doing something else creative in the film industry, like making miniatures or costumes. Or maybe I'd finally have the time to focus on my writing. Brian: I would love to open a horror themed restaurant with a haunt attraction in it! If you could be a part of any film / tv show in history, what would it be, and why? Brian: Definitely Terminator 2, because of the incredible practical makeup FX on Arnold. And also because I would love to work with James Cameron. Desirée: Little Shop of Horrors! I just cannot believe that they made Audrey 2 look so amazing before digital effects were a thing. It's all practical! What important thing have you learned while working in this industry? Desirée: You can never be too prepared. Brian: Check your ego at the door! Making a film is a group effort.
