“Every one feels like the biggest battle of my life and then the next one’s worse. Even when you have had critical success or some box office success it doesn’t make the next one any easier – even when you have actors like these who want to take part and a well-known subject as the subject of your movie.”

‘Be afraid, be very afraid.’ That’s the advice from Paul Katte, cofounder of Sydney’s Makeup Effects Group, when asked what he says to aspiring makeup effects practitioners in Australia.

Each film’s a two or three year process. You’re constantly reading and trying to catch up with the material but that’s a good place to be because you’re a bit uncertain at times. You have to do it and you have to learn how to do it and I love that process.
