Prepare to Start a Career within the Highly Specialized field of Advanced Special Effects Makeup Classes to organize you for your career You'll earn your graduate certificate through classes that involve: 1. Researching styles, trends and new developments within the industry. 2. Developing two-dimensional special effects concepts and work-ups of what they could appear as if complete. 3. Using specialized products and equipment to animate, sculpt, create, cast and mold your creations.
Professors who know the business Because classes are small, you'll receive many personal support from your professors who are themselves highly experienced within the field. Most are still active in computer graphics makeup. Through your study you'll even be introduced to the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), the union representing the profession.
Practical, hands-on experience During the summer following the primary two semesters, you'll participate during a field placement where you'll use your newly acquired special effects makeup skills during a professional setting. This invaluable work experience and exposure to professionals within the field is often a springboard for employment.
