Makeup for Warner Bros. Vancouver Media Event - The Joker & Two Face Harvey Dent from "The Dark Knight"
Earlier this month, I was hired by Warner Brothers to do some interesting Special Effects makeup (Special FX) for their publicity event in Vancouver.
It was a media function attended by TV news anchors, radio talk show hosts, and entertainment journalists from various magazines, newspapers and websites.
My job was to apply makeup onto Chris Lewchuk, PR Specialist of Warner Bros., who would host the presentation as the Joker. I also needed to transform Vancouver's top magician Rick Mearns into Two Face Harvey Dent. The requirements from Warner Bros. was that both of them had to look as close as possible to the actual characters in their latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight". In addition, since both gentlemen would be mingling with the guests, the makeup needed to be realistic while allowing them to converse and interact freely with everyone throughout the evening.
It was a challenging assignment. However, with the meticulous liaison by Rachael at Media Profile, and the support of my wonderful assistant, the makeup was successfully completed. Both The Joker and Harvery Dent were extremely popular amongst the attending guests!
This is the unsolicited testimonial that I received after the event:
" For a recent Warner Bros Dark Knight themed event, we hired Michelle to re-create the face of Harvey Two-Face and the Joker. From the initial planning stages, Michelle responded to phone/email requests in a timely manner and was a pleasure to work with. She understood our needs and was able to replicate exactly what we were looking for.
On the night of the event, she blew everyone away with her extraordinary make-up artistry. She re-created the face of Harvey Two-Face to the smallest detail and many in attendance at the event commented on the excellent job the artist had done. She re-created The Joker face so well, the Joker claimed that it was his best Joker face yet. The same event had been done in two other cities (Toronto & Montreal). We would highly recommend Michelle as a special FX make-up artist to any project and look forward to working with her again. "
Thanks again to Warner Bros. and Media Profile for letting me be the Makeup Artist for this Vancouver event. I had lots of fun..! Thanks also to my dear hubby for letting me try the makeup on him!
