I need some advice. I have a BFA from DePaul University in Chicago. I now live in Los Angeles. I am looking to get into special effects/film/tv make-up. At DePaul I took a year of Theatrical Make-up and was the Professors Assistant the following year. I was hired as a Special Effects Make-up Artist at The Queen Mary in Los Angeles for their Annual Haunted House. I applied horror and gore make-up to the actors hired for the haunted house. I was the only person hired that had not gone to school specifically for make-up. I now want special effects make-up to be my career of choice. I realize I need additional training but am not sure what school in the Los Angeles area is best for me. I would also like any advice on how to gain employment in the film industry for make-up. If anyone has any advice or insight please let me know. I would also welcome any information on Unions, and what requirements are for joining. Thanks to all!
