What Will I Learn?

LOTS!!  Everything from where to get your supplies (with embedded hot links that will take you directly to the supplier’s web sites) to basics, paint and powder make-ups, a ton of 3-D Out of the Kit techniques, full 3-D construction make-ups, to taking face casts, sculpting, making molds, and creating prothetic appliances out of foam latex, encapsulated silicone and even the latest technology of Prosthetic Transfers. And finally, finished Prosthetic Make-ups using the different types of appliances. There’s over 26 different finished make-ups in this pdf book, and about a bazillion techniques to learn! And, best of all, it’s written in plain English without a lot of technical jargon, and over 750 photos to illustrate the techniques used

Why PDF?

Because this is the most photo-rich monster make-up guide ever produced, I wanted to include stunning images, and as many step-by-step photos as possible to enhance the learning experience. I’ve embedded high-res 300 ppi photographs into this PDF book. Photos that you can blow up on your laptop or iPad as large as you like (up to 800%) to see ALL the detail. To do that with a traditional book, you’d need a magnifying glass. And truly, if you did that, all you’d see is crappy dot patterns from the printing press! Viewing this book as a PDF was the ONLY way to really see all 786 high-res images in all their glory! (It’s over 400 megabytes!!)You just can’t do that with a traditional paper book.

NOTE: Although this is technically an e-book, This is NOT a download item. With all the embedded high-res photographs this “book” IS OVER 400 megabytes of info. It must be sent on disk.

There are books and then there are BOOKS
I have just about most of the books of any reasonable quality out there on the market that I've used for many years as reference, inspiration and as learning as well as teaching tools. What Mike Spatola has put together is a legacy.....a VAST storehouse of useful, practical, expert, solid, valuable information for ANYONE - be it the new amateur, the hobbyist, the semi-pro, as well as the professional alike. And like I say about ALL books I have - regardless of quality - if there is ONE thing in them that is useful, a good idea or a practical application, then it will have been worth the investment. Well in Mike's book there are literalliy hundreds - if not thousands of great practical, useful, well considered and used, fantastic ideas and tips for any level user.

This book on disc is jam packed with solid information, complete with so many photographs in HIGH DEFINITION that you'd have to be either out of your mind or completely in the dark to not find them useful and instructive. His background, training, and experience is vast and obvious. This is a MUST have for anyone who is into this craft simply because of Mike's attention to the details, the small stuff that can turn a good makeup effort into a GREAT makeup project. So valuable for the price too. Value for the money - far superior to some books I've bought that I wish were better than they are. But this one on disc is now a practical way to present it, much less expensive to produce than a printed book - especially with all those photos - and it's worth twice the price in my estimation.

A valuable reference, inspiration and addition to the library of the better books I've purchased. HIGHLY recommended and well worth every cent.

Great Book
Although packaged different, dont let that put you off.
This mighty atom of a book takes you through the process of fx makeup. excellent detail and excellent photography.
My favourite is the werewolf but that's just me. Enthusiastically written and should be in your fx library, if not start one :-D

Amazing!
I have a new but intoxicating interest in Special FX makeup, and turned to Mike Spatola's Monstrous Makeup Manual for help. It offers tips and tricks for newbies like me, but goes into very complicated applications in a way that doesn't seem un-doable or daunting. The language is very easy to understand and of course everything is taken a step at a time. I really appreciate being shown different online suppliers to compare costs as well as being given home-made substitutes for some of the more expensive special effects. It's wonderful to be able to zoom into pictures for detail! I'm so glad I invested in this "book" because I feel it gave me the tools I need to get started with my new hobby, and hopefully someday career!

FINALLY!
There's actually something that covers make-up effects from soup to nuts! Not since Dick Smith's Monster Make-up Handbook has anyone been so thorough and easy to understand. It's almost as if he's right beside you, guiding you step by step. This ebook is definately worth the price. When you want to find the supplies, you can just click on a hot link and it will take you right to the companys' websites where you can purchase the supplies, easy as pie! Thanks, Mike for a superior product, 5 stars all the way!

A must have for any level of makeup artist!
Getting this manual was one of the best investments I have ever made. The step-by-step instructions, tips and technics are easy to follow and learn. I'm an up and coming special effects artist. I am apart of Alaska's independent film movement that has boomed in recent years. Since I've read this book and practiced the technics and used the tips that Spatola has so graciously shared with us all, I've been getting more and more calls for my services. Thank you so much Mike! You have NO idea how much you have helped me grow in something I love doing. Maybe you'll make your way to the last frontier for a book signing and demonstration perhaps??? Sincerely, Irene Franco - Anchorage, AK
