Who gives life to creatures in movies? Special effects makeup involves hyperrealistic characterizations and special makeup used to portray creatures such as aliens and monsters.

To get a glimpse into the work of these professionals, our team met special effects makeup artist Goh Eun-ji who has been working in the field for the past 5 years.

"Sometimes, the director might ask me to depict something very unusual. I get excited whenever I have the chance to work on something that is ambiguous and open to creative expression," she told The Korea Times.

Our team followed her to a science-fiction film shoot to see how special effects makeup is applied. Check out the full video for a closer look!
