makeup around the world: Spain & Latin America
These are some of the Spanish — and Portuguese — language websites that I browse through regularly while trawling for interesting new movie makeups:
DDT Efectos Especiales: David Marti and Montse Ribé, Pan’s Labyrinth, Oscar — nuff said.
Plan 9 FX: Oscar Del Monte and Nacho Diaz have a brand-new website with lots of new images of their work, including a batch of celebrity transformations from the TV show Anónimos. Recently, they’ve been working on Steven Soderbergh’s Guerrilla.
Mario Campioli: Mario Campioli is based in Brazil so, apart from Olga, I’ve managed to see little of his work either on screen or on DVD.
Dharma Estudio: Arturo Balseiro’s website; he has also worked for DDT and others.
Inside FX: Inside FX were nominated for a Best Special Effects Goya for their work on [REC].
maquiarte: Spanish makeup news and forum — sadly, the news is not updated as frequently as it used to be.
