The technology of prosthetic makeup has evolved over the years, but for “Star Trek: Picard” special makeup effects department head James Robert MacKinnon, the technology in our homes has affected his job significantly too. “With those 4K, 8K, 12K huge televisions that we’re all watching at home now, which are almost the size of screens at a movie theater, our detail has to refine,” he explains. “You see every little speckle, every little spatter that to your eye looks like color or skin, but the camera picks it up as paint.” Which makes it all the more challenging to create a convincing illusion. Watch our exclusive video interview with MacKinnon above.
