An Impressive Demonstration Of Digital Cosmetics

It used to be really hard to explain to people how visual effects software can reduce the signs of aging on an actor’s face, but nowadays we’re exposed to a lot more behind-the-scenes footage that shows how it’s all done.

And yet this video by visual effects artist Rousselos Aravantinos is still amazing to watch, even if you’ve seen similar stuff in the bonus features section of a DVD, because the subject seems to lose twenty or more years right before your eyes.

It's called digital cosmetics, and it's the part of post production that keeps stars looking young and vital even when they're well past their prime.

I thought it was probably photoshopped until I watched the news interview of it. Damn, it makes you wonder how many times you have been to the beach with a shark just beneath the water...

"Oh, well, if it’s on the News, it must be true!"

Obviously not, but his story checked out: There was a witness, supposedly they are common there, and he didn't look like the type of guy to photoshop something like that.

But who knows. All I'm saying is you can't just automatically assume an amazing photograph had to have been faked.

Yes I can, Justin. I can automatically assume whatever I want, thank you very much.

"he didn’t look like the type of guy to photoshop something like that."

What does the typical photoshopper look like?

I'm not saying the picture is shopped; I was just hinting at the fact that so many urban legends and fake items hit the news all the time.
