Audiovisual makeup course for directors of photography November 2013

We announce a new call for our audiovisual makeup course for directors of photography.

Lighting contributes greatly to the final success of the audiovisual work. It helps to highlight certain features of the subject and the scene. Establishing a good and precise communication between the photography and makeup/characterization departments facilitates this final success, marking the fundamental characteristics of lighting and its influence on the characterization and makeup processes.

When working in a cooperative team where everyone takes into account the goals and difficulties of others, problems are somewhat reduced. The results depend not only on each one knowing his own work but also understanding the work of the others. Thus, each technician in the team will be focused on his own particular task and not on the search for some information in order to at least “save his job”.

In this makeup course we will analyze the processes that have a primary relationship with the director of photography. The relationship between makeup and the light of the set to help the style of the audiovisual work, the color given from the lighting and makeup, the types of makeup according to the skins of the actors and according to the format to be used (35mm, HD, etc)…in short define the grammar that articulates the art of makeup to allow the directors of photography to relate this area with their light and to be able to communicate better with this department.
