Man of 1000 Faces
Lon Chaney was a master of makeup in the silent and early movies. In this video you’ll see a 3 minute crash course in what Lon Chaney did with real makeup. I love prosthetics and the realistic results you get from them, but can you image this being done with nose putty and grease paint?
Over the next few days, hopefully we can find a few videos on how to makeup some of those early movie characters.
