An update!

It has been ages since we last posted a blog.  Our apologies.  We've been really busy since returning to Melbourne after Ed completed Neill Gorton's prosthetics course in London in 2012.  And there have been some significant developments and achievements since that adventure:

Alana is undertaking her certificate III in hairdressing to become a qualified hairdresser.  This means that Alana will have both a diploma of specialist make-up services as well as a certificate III of hairdressing.  Since returning to Melbourne Alana also trained with an award-winning wig maker learning about hair knotting.

We have both established separate websites for our freelance work: www.alanaauden.com & www.edwardyatesmakeupeffects.com

Ed worked on his first feature film in the prosthetics department.  The film is a sci-fi thriller called Predestination and he was contracted by Steve Boyle FX for 7 weeks for the work.  Had an absolute blast.  Looking forward to the next one now!

We established a online shop called Creature Collectibles, selling masks for LARPers, Halloween and fancy dress party goers.

Later in 2013 Ed trained in Sydney with Brian Sipe, an Emmy award winning make-up artist.  So Ed has now trained with a BAFTA winner, an Emmy winner, a Screamfest winner and a protegee of an Oscar winner.  Holy cow!  Feeling very grateful to have had this experience.

All up a busy return to Oz!  Really looking forward to what 2014 will bring!
