COURSE OVERVIEW:
Make-Up & Special Effects for Film, TV & Theatre
The influx of film and TV production companies on our shores, especially in Dublin, Wicklow and Northern Ireland has grown significantly over the last two years, with the Irish film industry generating an increase of 20% in revenue last year. This is set to increase again in 2014 with overseas productions being filmed here. This is great news for the Irish film industry and of course for our future special effects graduates.
With special effects artist Siobhán Harper-Ryan, as just one of the many experienced lecturers, LA College's Special Effects Course for TV, Film and Theatre prepares each student with the necessary skill set to develop a successful career in film, TV and theatre.
The impressive calibre of lecturers who teach this course are all working professionals across the entertainment world with experience in creating effects on blockbuster movies, short films, TV adverts and celebrity clientele. Whilst moulding, painting and sculpting a desired look, students will work with a variety of different products including gelatine, latex, wax and silicone, mastering their materials throughout the year.
Internships and work placements will be available to our students throughout the year to enhance both their CV and their skill set. Past students have enjoyed work experience within such establishments as The Abbey Theatre, festivals and short films.
There is the option for experienced makeup or special effects artists to complete just 1 module including casualty or wig making.
