Adrien Francis Morot (born 1970 in Montreal) is a Canadian makeup artist. He was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Makeup and Hairstyling for the film Barney's Version,[2] and has won the Genie Award for Best Makeup twice for his work on Barney's Version and Cruising Bar 2.
Early career[]
Morot had taken on various artistic interests since he was around five years old.[3] He drew creatures inspired by those from monster movies;[3] sculpted casts of his friends Star Wars toys; experimented with plasticine, Styrofoam, and Vaseline to make masks;[4] and was making home movies beginning at the age of twelve.[5] Though originally wanting to get into the film business as a stunt actor, his childhood experiences and a reading of a Fangoria feature about The Thing (1982) is what changed his career path to becoming a visual effects artist.[5]
Morot tried to break in when he was seventeen by working as a prop assistant[5] and storyboardinging for various films made in Quebec.[6] He quickly grew dissatisfied with being on set and the lack of FX work available in the area.[5] At the age of 20, he went to Los Angeles as part of a tour offered by his friend, Jacques.[6] After showing his portfolio to various workers in the effects industry, including Tom Savini (a man he first knew about from reading Fangoria), he quickly garnered six job offers.[6]
