Question by chrissynb10: What’s the name for wanting to work in movie effects?
I want to make props, prosthetics, and do the monster make-up for like those scary movies and such. Like make those dinosaur models for Jurassic park (lol). Basically work with special effects for TV and films (but no computer effects). I thought I saw somewhere that it was Industrial design but I’m not sure.

The proper name is “Special effects artist” or “Special Effects Engineer” depending on how far you go in school..there is also “Special Effects Pyrotechnics” and “Special Effects Robotics”..
