11 June 07 Last night, Prosthetics Supervisor Gino Acevedo starred on NZ TV3's Nightline, and revealed a few make up secrets of the trade...

Late night entertainment and news programme, Nightline, interviewed Gino about his upcoming Workshop's at TheNewDowse, as part of the 'Becoming King Kong' exhibition.

Gino created a 'boil' effect on model (and Weta Mould maker Mike Wallace!) for Nightline, which demonstrated the art involved in creating a facial effect for screen. He also revealed his collection of famous faces decorating the wall here at Weta Workshop, including Eddie Murphy and Geena Davis' face casts.
