Professional SFX: Why It’s Important to Contact Us in Advance

Spectacular transformations, ultra-realistic makeup, mind-blowing special effects… That’s our daily life! At Accurate Dream, we love a good challenge. Turning someone into a zombie, mermaid, or alien? That’s our creative playground. But let’s be real, our brushes aren’t magic wands, and our calendar is often as full as a Halloween makeup kit!

SFX = Planning (and a Whole Lot of Love)
Creating special effects makeup isn’t just about dabbing on a bit of paint and calling it a day. It involves:

• Talking with you to fully understand your needs,

• Designing the look (often custom-made),

• Testing products,

• Running technical trials,

• And booking dedicated time in our schedule — because we care about doing things right.

What Happens When You Contact Us Too Late…
As fast as we are, last-minute projects are tough. If something drops the day before, we might have to:

• Say no,

• Or say yes… but it can get stressful — for us and for you.

The Right Timing? Here’s What We Recommend:
By reaching out early, you:

• Get more options (dates, artists, styles),

• Benefit from 100% of our creative energy,

• Reduce stress and last-minute surprises.

For a simple makeup or photoshoot: 2 to 3 weeks in advance is ideal.
For a shoot or complex effects: 1 to 2 months ahead is even better.

The more time we have, the more amazing the final result will be. And it also gives you more time to tweak details if needed!

Of course, we understand that sometimes things shift, shoot dates change, last-minute ideas pop up but in most cases, early notice helps avoid disappointment. At Accurate Dream, we want to give you our very best. And all it takes is a little planning.
