High Definition TV and the Makeup Artist

With the onset of High Definition television, many make-up artists are being confronted with pictures that are so clear and vivid.We recently held a workshop for make-up artists and hairdresser to come along and see their work through a High Definition Sony 750 camera, then view it on a HD monitor and also a home receiver Plasma screen TV.

This was most interesting; we had a mixture of very experienced professional make-up artists and some trainees. We all felt we learn a huge amount. Special training for HD is essential as clarity of picture is increased five fold. What you see to the eye is what you see on screen. Our school - the Hair and Make-Up Studio - has been training make-up artists and hairdressers for HD for just over a year. Our courses span 10 weeks and we take 6 students per course (next one starts in July) It is an intensive 5 day per week, 8 hours per day course with tutors that are all fully trained and are highly experienced in working on film and in television.

Their expertise will be passed on to new entrants on a one to one basis.We also run specialized courses for Air-brushing make-up, Special effects make-up as well as a period Hair Styling course with our Principal Hair Tutor.High Definition is the latest trend in television and film but one that we must all look forward to Some actors and actresses will be relying on their make-up artist more than ever before and we will be ready.
