Informations sur Cinema Makeup School – USA
At the time, there were very few dedicated makeup schools in Los Angeles, and many of those that existed offered training that was either outdated or out-of-step with the needs of the entertainment industry. Most of the industry’s training—especially in the special effects world—happened informally through apprenticeships and internships that were often unpaid, unadvertised and all-but-inaccessible to people without insider connections and financial means. At the same time, the explosion of special effects-driven blockbuster movies (that had been going on, unabated, since the late ‘70s) created unprecedented public awareness of, and interest in, special effects. With so few doorways to the industry and so many interested young people, someone needed to bridge that gap.
The makeup artist school opened its doors in a modest facility in the heart of L.A. and got to work teaching students. The plan was simple: offer shorter, more concentrated classes; keep all instruction up-to-date with the latest professional methods and standards; and attract top working artists to teach at the school.
It worked.
Since its inception, the school has grown consistently for over twenty-five years. It has moved twice to upgraded facilities and even with more and more start dates offered each year, core classes are always full.
CMS’s longtime Director of Education, Leonard Engelman, was elected the first Governor of the Make-up Artists and Hairstylists Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the governing body for the Oscars®), and went on to become the first makeup artist ever elected a Vice President of the Academy as a whole.
Leonard continues his work with the makeup artist school to this day as a special instructor and chairman of the school’s honors program. The current faculty pool—which rotates due to Hollywood’s continued demand for many of our instructors’ services—includes multiple Emmy® winners and nominees. Even Oscar-winning makeup artists Ve Neill and Joel Harlow have stepped into CMS classrooms to teach character and prosthetic makeup classes.
