THIS ISSUE's SPOTLIGHT on:
"Emmy Award-Winning Makeup Effects "
Issue 26

The Grit and Grime of Emmy Award-Winning Makeup Effects on HBO’s Wild West Drama Deadwood

The popular HBO show “Deadwood,” set in America’s Wild West in the 1870s, came away with five Emmy wins this year in creative arts categories, including Outstanding Makeup for a Series (Non-Prosthetic). We spoke with makeup artist Adam Brandy, assistant department head of makeup on the award-winning “Deadwood” makeup team. From wealthy Victorian ladies to painted ladies of the saloon and dapper business men to grimy prospectors, Brandy tells his story of what it means to create makeup for a cast that includes a staggering array of characters.

California Production Incentive Bill Delayed

As a result of backlash from members of both parties, the Hollywood tax incentive bill was postponed until next year’s legislative session. The bill, backed by political opposites Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, would have offered tax credits to companies that shoot 75% of a production inside California at a time when the state is running a $7 billion deficit. Republican critics of the bill claimed it unfairly favored film production over other businesses that would end up shouldering more of the tax burden, while Democrats claimed the loss of revenue would cut into social programs. Critics from both sides pointed out that credits would be given back even when no taxes are owed.
