But that\u2019s just the beginning\u2026<\/p>\n\n<p>Yagher also worked on big films like<em> Bill &#038; Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure<\/em> and <em>Mission: Impossible II<\/em> \u2013 two movies that would be enough for any makeup artist to lay fame to.

Once the \u201890s hit, however, French went on to work in a variety of different special effects roles. One movie we didn\u2019t expect to find on his IMDb list? <em>White Chicks<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ed French also worked on TV shows like <em>Supernatural <\/em>and<em> Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> \u2013 both of which bring back terrible (but great) memories. On top of that, the big box-office films he\u2019s worked on include titles like <em>American Sniper<\/em> and <em>Terminator Salvation<\/em>. Working with Schwarzenegger on a legendary film series?

But Smith didn\u2019t stop there, of course. He went on to dominate the special effects industry in the 1970s, from working on <em>The Godfather<\/em> series, to <em>The Exorcist, Taxi Driver,<\/em> and many more.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a legendary makeup artist that Hollywood will never forget.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Special-Effects-Makeup.jpg\" alt=\"Prosthetics for special effects makeup artists\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Special-Effects-Makeup.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Special-Effects-Makeup-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robert_Hall\"><\/span>Robert Hall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What stood out to us the most about Robert Hall is his massive list of television makeup roles. First, we need to acknowledge his work on <em>The X Files<\/em> movie \u2013 and the many ensuing nightmares we were happy to suffer through! In the early 2000s, he worked on <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>, <em>Angel<\/em>, and <em>Firefly <\/em>\u2013 all of which bring us fond memories. After that, Hall worked on both comedy and horror films like<em> Pineapple Express, Superbad<\/em>, and <em>Quarantine<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Basically, he hasn\u2019t stopped working in over two decades!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rob_Bottin\"><\/span>Rob Bottin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next on our list of special effects superstars: Rob Bottin, whose list of box-office hits is almost too much to handle. Let\u2019s start with his early career \u2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001964\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">work he was uncredited for<\/a> include <em>King Kong, Star Wars: Episode IV \u2013 A New Hope<\/em>, and <em>Airplane!<\/em> And yes \u2013 we did say uncredited.<\/p>\n\n<p>So let\u2019s move on to the projects he did receive credit for: <em>The Thing, RoboCop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Se7en, Mission: Impossible, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fight Club<\/em>, and so many more! This makeup artist made his name fast and furiously, and we can only dream of having the same success.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stan_Winston\"><\/span>Stan Winston<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We would be embarrassed if we didn\u2019t include the renowned Stan Winston on a list of top special effects makeup artists. After all, Stan Winston Studios is one of the most well-known in the film industry. So what are a few of the big-name movies we\u2019ve seen Winston\u2019s work in?<\/p>\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with <em>Terminator <\/em>and <em>Predator<\/em>. These are classic films that shocked the world in terms of special effects. We also can\u2019t ignore Winston\u2019s work on the fantasy films <em>Jurassic Park III<\/em> and <em>Avatar <\/em>\u2013 both of which were international hits.<\/p>\n\n<p>Something that\u2019s really impressive, though? Stan Winston had a big role in animatronic effects on movies such as <em>Inspector Gadget, A.I. Artificial Intelligence<\/em> and <em>Terminator<\/em>, which is definitely a special effects career path we\u2019d love to pursue!<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Character-makeup-effects.jpg\" alt=\"Special effects makeup studios\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Character-makeup-effects.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Character-makeup-effects-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Howard_Berger\"><\/span>Howard Berger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re excited to follow up Stan Winston with the celebrated Howard Berger. This is one special effects makeup artist who just will not quit. Berger is credited with over 150 makeup effects roles in a career that only started in 1984. That evens out to over FIVE roles each year!<\/p>\n\n<p>Since there\u2019s only so much room on the page, we\u2019ll narrow down that list to a few of his most well-known roles: <em>Pulp Fiction, Scream, The Green Mile, Big Fat Liar, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 &#038; 2, Disturbia, Inglourious Basterds, Public Enemies<\/em> \u2013 and that\u2019s just a few of them.<\/p>\n\n<p>Berger\u2019s career has been rich and varied, and he continues to inspire us with his work!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greg_Nicotero\"><\/span>\nGreg Nicotero<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ah, Greg Nicotero \u2013 we can credit him with many of our lifelong nightmares. His work on blockbuster movies is incredible, and the range of skills he\u2019s acquired in special effects makeup is ridiculous. Let\u2019s start with his biggest horror films &#8211; <em>Thir13een Ghosts, The Amityville Horror, Hostel, The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em>\u2026can we stop yet? His gruesome creatures give you a peek into his awe-inspiring creativity.<\/p>\n\n<p>More than his frightening characters though, Nicotero gave us the magical creatures from <em>The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Spy Kids<\/em>, and brought back our favorite robotic heroes in <em>Transformers<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Plus, his latest work is some of the most astounding in special effects TV makeup. From <em>The Walking Dead<\/em>, to Killer Croc in <em>Suicide Squad<\/em>, to <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>, there seems to be nothing Nicotero can\u2019t create.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of course, this is nowhere near an exhaustive list of the talented special effects makeup artists out there \u2013 but it\u2019s a start.
