And the That's right, right, you just seen in a resume and I want to thank you for doing so. I'm Chris Lock Somani, your host.

And once again, this is the show where we talk about the careers, actually we trace the career paths of people who I think have very interesting jobs and today I have a

guy who has a really cool job that I bet not even 1% of the listeners have and that's why I like having these kind of these

kinds of people on because they can share insight into cool careers.

Today I welcome Dan Crowley, he's a special effects technician.

He's worked on movies such as pretty much all the newest Marvel movies, Thor.

He's also worked on the last two Star Trek movies, the last two Hunger Game movies, Deadpool.

So welcome to the show, Dan.

Hey, thanks for having me.

When I heard about you, I read a little bit, read up a little bit on some of the things that you've done and you have a

cool journey to how you became a special effects technician and a lot of that includes doing makeup for people costumes you said

what what else does your job entail right now?

I mean these days it's mostly doing specialty costumes because that's just kind of where the industry's gone in the last

seven or eight years but it wasn't my original intention. My original intention was to do makeup.

I was a little kid. I want to do makeup. I would do makeup of my friends and you know they'd lose their hair because I put

latex or whatever in their hair and you know you had no idea what you were doing.

But you know you kind of have to pick two paths you either become like an onset makeup artist where you're working with people every day or you work in the shops and I kind of ended up

taking the shop route which is less on set and more like building pre-production so but if you look at a lot of the

movies especially as of late and you know it's really just evolving as

when when I watch let's say any any sci-fi movie or any of the superhero movies that you've worked on

The costumes and just the like this well the sets to you but the costumes really have stepped up their game oh yeah yeah it

leaps and bounds in the last few years for sure and it's not all just CGI or anything
