Yesterday my great friend Louise and I travelled over to Calderdale College in
Halifax to watch the amazing Thomas E. Surprenant. Thomas is known for his work
on Donnie Darko (2001), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), X-Men: and The Last
Stand (2006), he has a huge list of amazing films he has worked on. But I must
say I was most impressed with The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, one of my
favourite films ever. Thomas also won a Primetime
Emmy in 1995 and was nominated in 1996.

I did not really know what to expect as we only got the
opportunity to go to the event on Friday at 4pm, and to be honest; I was totally
engaged in Brit Mums at this time. As a Hairdressing Lecturer it is not really
my field, however as lots of our level 3 students go on to university to study
theatrical media and make-up, Louise and I decided it would be great to get an
insight into prosthetics.
Also, I loved all the prosthetic
work of the creatures at the Harry Potter Studios,
when we visited a couple of weeks ago. This is the field I would have loved to
work in when I was younger; unfortunately there were just not the opportunities
out there when I left college.
