Testimonials
"Giselle Michel-Gendre was an invaluable member of the crew; her work as a hair and make up artist gave the film the authentic look I envisaged during pre-production. In addition to providing the actors with apropriate hairstyles and natural facial make up, which worked well with our lighting setup, she also created realistic prosthetic wounds. Her skills in this field shone through as she carefully researched all aspects of the film, enabling it to be as accurate as possible. Giselle was also prompt, performing her role swiftly and professionally which made her a pleasure to work with; even after her job was done on set, she kept an eye out for continuity and was interested in assisting with other roles which made sure all my expectations were met on the shoot of my short project."
"Throughout the shoot Giselle was a joy to work with. During pre-production she was very easy to contact and discuss any issues and always seemed very organized. Her commitment to the project made her very easy to work with. In addition, on the day of the shoot she was always alert and cooperative. She engaged very well with the crew and made sure everything ran as smoothly throughout the day. I was also impressed with the level of skill displayed with the make up FX, it blended well within the film and helped give the realism I was looking for."
