Filmmakers: Ve Neill (Makeup Effects Designer)

One of the most renowned makeup artists in motion pictures, Ve Neill (Key Makeup Artist and Makeup Effects Designer) was nominated for her work, along with key hair stylist and designer Martin Samuel, for a Best Makeup Academy Award for “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” They also won a BAFTA Award for their work on that film.
They returned to “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,” which brought her and Samuel yet another nomination from the BAFTA Awards. Over the course of her 30 year career, Neill has won three Academy Awards®, two Emmy Awards, two Saturn Awards, the Bafta Award and Makeup Artist of the Year from the Foreign Press, with a total of 18 international nominations for her creative and innovative makeup.
From her early career as a rock `n' roll stylist, Neill began to develop her skills as a designer and makeup artist.  Specializing in concept, design and execution, Neill entered the film industry and discovered a talent for extreme fantasy makeup. These unique skills put her at the forefront of the early 1980s film extravaganzas.
Neill created space travelers for the first “Star Trek” film and for the hit comedy “Galaxy Quest,” rock and roll vampires for Joel Schumacher's “The Lost Boys” and visions of the afterlife for Tim Burton's wacky comedy “Beetlejuice,” her first Oscar.
In addition, she turned Robin Williams into a Scottish nanny for “Mrs. Doubtfire” (Neill's second Oscar win), Martin Landau into horror king Bela Lugosi for Burton's “Ed Wood” (her third Academy Award) and brought to life an onslaught of villains, beauties and superheroes for Burton's “Batman Returns” and Schumacher's “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin.”
She gave Patricia Arquette the “Stigmata,” transformed Christine Baranski into “The Grinch”'s sexy girlfriend, aged Johnny Depp 60 years for the film “Blow” and turned Jude Law into the perfect Love Robot for Steven Spielberg's “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence.”  Some of her other credits have included Burton's “Edward Scissorhands,” Danny DeVito's “Matilda” and “Hoffa,” and Spielberg's “Amistad.”
Neill continued her illustrious career with an assortment of new characters ranging from a manic 100 year old lady in “Duplex,” possessed beings in “Constantine” and a slew of dirty, drunken, barnacle encrusted pirates that everyone adores for the “Pirates of the Caribbean“ series. She is now in London turning Johnny Depp into the infamous Demon Barber of Fleet Street for the film “Sweeney Todd.”
