From Apocalypto to Pirates of the Caribbean II,
the accomplished and varied make-up work in each of these six films deserves to be
considered for an Academy Award.
Pan's Labyrinth is a dark fantasy with imaginative creations because its director has worked as a make-up artist and DDT SFX put the creatures in it together.
The Santa Clause 3 make-up team has confidence, practice, and the ability to adapt. Their experience pays off when they encounter hundreds of elves and a major flood.
Tom Hanks worked with make-up
artist Dan Striepeke on 17 films. Striepeke retired this year, and in this tribute to him, Hanks reveals the milestones they shared. (Originally published in The New York Times.)
