Emmy-winning makeup artist to offer talk, demonstration on Nov. 19

An Emmy-winning makeup effects artist will demonstrate and discuss his work as part of the Humanities Film Series at York College.

Chris Burgoyne will present at 7 p.m., Nov. 19, in the Room 218 of the Humanities Center. The event is open to the public free of charge. For more information, contact Deb Staley at dstaley@ycp.edu or call 717-815-1349.

Artists like Burgoyne who use prosthetic sculpting, molding and casting techniques, along with other tricks of the trade, play a large role in bringing the director’s vision to life on the screen and helping audiences to accept movie illusion as reality.  Burgoyne will give a makeup effects demonstration and discuss photographs and clips of his work from “The Omen,” “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” Love in the Time of Cholera,” “Last Holiday,” “CSI,” “ER” and other film and television programs in which he has been involved over the course of his career.
