Is it surprising? It’s the same for costumes, sets, visual effects, and many other creative aspects of the production: there’s a lead designer / supervisor who is in charge of the overall look and concept, and then individual artists who implement the look.
- gniv 3y agoYes, I don't know why I was surprised about make-up in particular. I guess it shows my biases.
- pavlov 3y agoMake-up and hair seem quite critical to the atmosphere and look of a movie like The Village which is set in an ambiguous time and place. I think this was probably an interesting project for the make-up designer, and IMO he/she deserved the $105k fee.
- throwup238 3y agoIt’s also the movie industry so this might be their only major gig for the year, making up the bulk of their annual salary.
- qingcharles 3y agoRight. Working in Hollywood is gig work. Some years you get lucky, other years you don't. Pay reflects that.
