WHY OUR ACADEMY
Knowledge
Unlike many make-up schools the Academy will give its students the
tools, materials and most importantly the most up to date technical
knowledge to give them an edge; a head start into entering the film
industry as skilled professionals.
Tutors
Alongside his extensive knowledge Shaune has many contacts within
the industry, specialists in various industry fields who will also be
involved in the Academy’s training programme.
These will consist of artists such as: Silicone Specialists, Prosthetic
artists, Mouldmakers, Art Finishers, Hair Punchers, Wig makers,
Sculptors, Concept designers...simply the best people to be taught by.
All our tutors have amazing film, TV, theatre and fashion backgrounds.
They will be teaching you the most up to date techniques in make up,
hair and prosthetics and also explaining and sharing all their own
experiences working as a make up artist. That is very important to
understand and learn from the most skilled people in the industry.
Small classes
As a new school we want to concentrate on every one of the students
in our academy. We believe that only in small classes we can give 100%
attention and time to our students. That’s why our classes will have
maximum of 6 students per class.
Why Manchester?
Why Us
Shaune Harrison will oversee every aspect of the academy and will be
teaching and training the students in the same way he would on his own
prosthetic films. He and his team will teach you not only skills of make up, hair
and prosthetics but also how to manage the budget, do the script breakdown and
how to become a good self employed make up artist.

With the recent opening of Media City in Salford Quays we couldn’t
think of a better place to open the Academy.
Manchester is home to the second largest creative and digital cluster in
Europe. More and more companies are making the move to Media City
because of their transport links and the state of the art digital facilities.
Why should students choose us?
The main reason will be the wealth of experience Shaune will bring to
the academy and the many things he’s accomplished over the years
he’s been doing this job.

ABOUT SHAUNE
Beginnings...
Shaune Harrison’s fascination with
special make-up effects began at the
age of thirteen while watching An
American Werewolf in London after
which he knew he wanted to make
monsters.
Beginning his career on Clive
Barker’s Nightbreed in 1988 Shaune
laid the foundation for a body of
work spanning over two decades on
some of the world’s highest grossing
blockbusters. Today Shaune is one of the most highly
respected and sought after make-up effects artists in the
British film industry and continues to create creatures
and prosthetic make-up effects for film and television.
Shaune’s first sculpts when he was 16 yrs.

ABOUT PROSTHETICS
Prosthetics is the technique of adding to the face a ‘second’ skin, It was used to great effect in the
1920’s with the actor Lon Chaney who transformed himself into classic characters such as: the
Phantom of the Opera and The Wolfman, Jack Pierce became famous for creating such memorable
characters as The Mummy & Frankenstein with Boris Karloff.
The Phantom of the Opera
Frankenstein
In the late 1930’s Jack Dawn designed and created the characters for The Wizard Of Oz , one of
the landmark prosthetics films, not only did he transform all the lead actors into those famous
characters but also the sheer size of the project was a first!
The Wizard of Oz
So what exactly is
Prosthetics &
Make Up Effects?
Stan Winston
In the late 60’s John Chambers created the classic Planet of the Apes characters which he received a
special Academy Award for outstanding achievement in makeup.
Around the same time Dick Smith was creating and advancing the art of prosthetics to a new level of
quality and complexity. In 1973 the term, Special Make Up Effects was used to change Linda Blair in
the demonic character for The Exorcist. Not only did Linda go through hours of complex prosthetics
but also mechanical dummies where built of her, Bladders where used to stretch and deform her face
and Max Von Sydow (who was only 42 at the time) had to look like he was in his 70’s.
In the 80’s this became known as the boom time for Special Make Up Effects and artists such as Rick
Baker, Rob Bottin, Stan Winston, Tom Savini became the stars of make up effects. Rick Baker lead
the way with American Werewolf In London in 1981 for which he won the first annual academy
award for Make Up.
