RITA ANJOS.
After gaining her degree in Scenic Design from Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema Rita made the move to the UK to study prosthetics at the internationally renowned Gorton Studio.

With EffectArt Dave and Rita are combining their skills and experience to offer an exceptional service of professionalism and cutting edge materials and techniques never before available to the Portuguese film, TV and advertising industries.
It’s sometimes difficult for clients (or even anyone else NOT in our industry) to understand why creating make up effects is so expensive and time consuming and trying to explain over the phone or via e-mail just WHY we can’t produce an original, custom make up for a shoot next week rarely works either.
Hopefully this picture of some of the moulds and casts needed to produce ONE old age make up will help people understand that from life casting the actor to having a finished, applicable make up takes many laborious, time intensive processes!
