The art of Hollywood special effects makeup

Lee Cowan introduces us to Academy Award-winner Matthew Mungle, one of the greatest make-up special effects men in movie history. Cowan follows Mungle as the artist goes through the process of creating bodies for an episode of "CSI."

People like these are so underrated, it's sad..

[cthulhu]

He's so cute talking about it! So passionate, so humble, so nice :) those people are magicians! It's incredible what we can do <3

[eliseameliaa]

That is my dream job. It is something I want to do. I am so close to finishing my training and he is my inspiration

Of all the faces in that wall, David Bowie's stuck out the most to me.

[icroasdell]

This guy is literally the coolest guy in the world

[CrescentMoon]

"Oh just a bunch of body parts" he says it so casually 😂😂

[BigElly]

If he decided to become a criminal he'd have no problem in fact he could be a serial killer but have a different face for it

CONSPIRACY

oh my goodness i always thought those bodies on the autopsy table were real actors!

[RobotiSal]

Those CSI dead bodies are amazing. What a talented chap! These guys are a huge part of the suspension of disbelief that makes the movie and tv magic. I think it's a shame they separated out the Oscars for acting and directing versus all the other stuff, it's almost like it's been de-appreciated in the clamour of celebrity.

Prosthetics and practical make-up effects are soo underrated lately. Most of the things are done with CGI nowadays. It's kinda sad, because there are soo many talented artists who can make such wonderful things!

I wish I had known 40 years ago that this was a legit career path

[magiv]

"Are those intestines?"
"Uh, yeah."

[whydoyouask]

I've always wanted to do this, starting training next year

[astralstarchild]

In a couple weeks I'll be off to makeup artistry school, and I'll be learning all about this stuff. I'm super excited

[cheezwhiz]

Omg they had a face cast of David Bowie 😱😆😄

[keynesantoso]

This story is such an inspiration, i wish artist like this get even more appreciation from public . :)

[simmerolson]

That guy is me. Like I'm fine when I know it's not real, but I really don't like real blood/wounds.

[bethanybellwarts]

The last one in the concrete looked really fake though. mainly the blood

[PRISONREAK]

They sounded like two childhood best friends who reunited for the first time

[clarissacuartero]

Movie makeup artists must be open to schools to have their field trip in one of these. I mean literally this is amazing! Their talents should be given more recognition
