In modern films, everything can be shown thanks to the green screen, and everything that does not look very good in the frame can simply be corrected during digital processing. All this computer processing has appeared in relation to the existence of cinema recently. Literally some 20-25 years ago, all special effects and monsters were created with the help of makeup and ropes. At the same time, a real make-up genius made a name for himself - Dick Smith, who could turn any actor into anyone. In 2012, Dick Smith received an Oscar and became the only make-up artist to receive this award for his contribution to cinema. On July 30, Dick Smith passed away. We invite you to look at the amazing retro transformations of actors into various characters, made by the talented hands of Dick Smith.
