A little-known profession, but nevertheless essential for a large number of films: that of special effects make-up artist!
A profession that encompasses an enormous number of effects, whether visible (the Mandible fly, or the Marsupilami parrot, the fake bellies of pregnant women, for example) or invisible (like hiding tattoos or designing the fake nudity of actors!).
Olivier Afonso has agreed to talk to us about his profession to explain the precise definition of it, but also to tell us some manufacturing secrets.
Special effects specialist, Olivier Afonso speaks to us with passion about his profession!
This year, we have been able to see his work and that of his entire workshop (Atelier 69) in films such as Titane, Palme d’or 2021, Benedetta with Virginie Efira, also nominated for the César, or even L’origine from the world of Laurent Lafitte.
It should be noted that Olivier Afonso, a multi-hatted artist, has just released his first comic strip, The Portuguese. A comic strip published at the Arènes, co-signed with Chico.
