Masters of Make-Up Effects: A Century of Practical Magic (Hollywood Monsters) Review: Long awaited... now highly celebrated and destined to be a classic reference! - Howard Berger's genius behind practical make-up effects now comes full circle with a colossal tribute to the creative souls who pioneered and have continued to contribute to the craft of special make-up illusions. Long awaited... now highly celebrated and destined to be a classic reference - MASTERS OF MAKE-UP EFFECTS: A CENTURY OF PRACTICAL MAGIC is the collaborative work of Berger and Marshall Julius, picking up, dusting off, and expanding by leaps and bounds earlier contributions like Al Taylor and Sue Roy's MAKING A MONSTER: THE CREATION OF SCREEN CHARACTERS BY THE GREAT MAKEUP ARTISTS, Mark Salisbury and Alan Hedgcock's BEHIND THE MASK: THE SECRETS OF HOLLYWOOD'S MONSTER MAKERS: HOLLYWOOD'S MASTERS OF ILLUSION AND FX, Anthony Timpone's MEN, MAKEUP, AND MONSTERS, and a personally grateful hat tip to Alan Ormsby's MOVIE MONSTERS: MONSTER MAKE-UP & MONSTER SHOWS TO PUT ON from my youth. The text is relevant, insightful, rich in the breadth and depth of content, accompanied by copious, gorgeous photographs - which simultaneously stoke the fires of great memories of the past, while unleashing the magical, creative impulses of what is yet to be done with advances in materials, technologies, skill, and brilliant imagination fueled by the ambrosia of creative inspiration found upon the pages of MASTERS OF MAKE-UP EFFECTS. Bravo, Howard Berger... Bravo! Review: Fantastic Behind-the-Scenes Stories and Photos - What an archive! When my copy arrived, I literally read it from cover to cover as soon as I had it out of the packaging. Not only are the anecdotal stories from many of the industry's best makeup effects practitioners poignant, candid, insightful, entertaining, and enlightening, many of the amazing photos are from personal collections that most people may not have ever seen before this book. To those few sad folks who gave this book only a couple of stars, shame on you! This is pure gold! Movie magic history that you can hold in your hands and savor. This is a MUST-HAVE for your library if you care anything at all about the field of special makeup effects. Thank you, Marshall and Howard, for lovingly putting this gem together for us to treasure! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #179,918 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Stagecraft (Books) #189 in Movie Direction & Production #267 in Movie History & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (343) | | Dimensions | 9.29 x 1.02 x 11.1 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1802790012 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1802790016 | | Item Weight | 3.66 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | September 20, 2022 | | Publisher | Welbeck | ## Images ![Masters of Make-Up Effects: A Century of Practical Magic (Hollywood Monsters) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xr7siMeZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long awaited... now highly celebrated and destined to be a classic reference! *by M***T on September 23, 2022* Howard Berger's genius behind practical make-up effects now comes full circle with a colossal tribute to the creative souls who pioneered and have continued to contribute to the craft of special make-up illusions.
