Review: 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: Chunky, heavy, detailed and gloriously elaborate. No, not the authors but their incredible literary collaborative concoction that is nothing but a joy to read and behold. Behind the scenes stories, loads of “aha!” moments sliced up into sections you can sit and devour all day, or bite-size morsels you can snack on, savour and wonder. If you’re into the movies, or even if you’ve ever seen a movie, you need this book in your life. If you’re the kind of person that can recite lines and re-enact scenes from iconic film and TV, then boy are you in for a real treat. Buy it.

Sicuramente bello da vedere e interessante per l'approccio al make up, soprattutto prostetico, nel corso degli anni, un volume massiccio, ben raccontato, ben sviluppato come progetto grafico e narrativo. Anche per chi ama il cinema solo da spettatore, ma soprattutto per tutti gli effettisti e appassionati della storia degli special fx. Bello!
