With his career coming full circle, Greg Nicotero was the special makeup effects designer on GEORGE A. ROMERO'S LAND OF THE DEAD. In this exclusive look into his studio, we see how a zombie makeup is created step-by-step, how a "zombie bite" is rigged and executed, and how the different zombie heads and props from the film were designed and realized. Nicotero has been working in motion pictures for 20 years, starting as a makeup assistant on Romero's 1985 film, Day of the Dead. His studio, KNB EFX Group, has been responsible for dozens of projects since the late 1980s, including the films of Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Wes Craven & Steven Spielberg. The KNB facility is located in Van Nuys, CA.
