It’s not makeup in the usual sense. It’s a clever film trick using collodion, a material that shrinks as it dries and pulls the skin inward to create a realistic scar effect. What’s even cooler? It was first used in 19th-century photography before becoming a favorite in movie special effects. Movie magic is often just smart science in disguise. 🎬✨ #MovieMagic #BehindTheScenes #SpecialEffects #MakeupFX #FilmFacts #DidYouKnow #CinemaSecrets #PracticalEffects #ScienceFacts #MrAtomic

Always a fun one to revisit. This is a Clay Animation Special Effect shot I did for a short horror film called “The Sub” by @dansamiljan 📚💀 I would love to do more stuff like this; practical effects shots integrated into live action films… don’t get many chances to do such a thing, these days! #specialeffects #clayanimation #claymation #clay #practicaleffects #ratbatstudios #morph #bts #behindthescenes
