Interview with Ve Neill about “The Hunger Games,” “Catching
Fire,” and “Face Off.”
FEARNET.COM:"Since The Hunger Games is based on a very descriptive book, did you go into your meetings with director Gary Ross and production designer Philip Messina with a lot of specific ideas or did you follow their lead?"
Ve Neill: "I obviously read the book first and then definitely read the script. You're hired for your knowledge and your expertise so I like to go in and say what I think and what I'd like to do, but ultimately we're the tool of the director. We have to go off his inspiration and what vision he has. You also work together with everybody. I worked very closely with Judianna (Makovsky), the costume designer, because all these visions have to work together. Nothing can be done independently of each other or you'll have a jumbled up mess. We all did work very closely together and we all brought our expertise to the table and we made a beautiful meal." [Laughs]

HOW TO MAKE MOVIE BLOOD
One of many “movie blood” recipes:
THE SCENE
This scene might appear very basic when it comes to the makeup artist's work. The fact that it was shot with little lighting doesn't change how the makeup artist works. In fact, since the scene is dark, the makeup is even more important to highlight facial features that otherwise might not be visible in the dark. Without this attention to detail, the scene wouldn't "ring true." Watch the scene and just imagine there was no blood or dirt on the actor's faces.
