Working in the Theatre: Makeup video (A1)

This video was about two makeup artist in Broadway shows. The first one followed someone named Brian Strumwasser who worked with “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”. Brian focuses on the details it takes to change an actor into 17 different looks. The second part of the video followed Thelma Pollard who worked for “The Phantom of the Opera”. Thelma focused on the cast skin and the understanding of skin. It states under the video that the “cast replacement can continue to keep the life of a makeup artist on her feet eight time a week for over 28 years.” This is what keeps them working in this part of theater, the makeup and power behind it. All in all, there are many factors that make a character come to life.
