Tara's IMDB Listing

I am a costume and makeup designer and Professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, so, when I (along with the rest of the faculty, staff and students of the Theatre Department) offered to help with the production of Chronic Town, I thought I'd be mostly helping the costume and makeup designers with finding supplies in Fairbanks. I didn't really expect to be asked to audition for the tiny role of Jenny, an elderly drunk who is obsessed with a sandwich, and has difficulty remaining vertical. I expected even less to be cast, since I'm only 48 and I've also never drunk alcohol. However, apparently Tommy thought I tipped over with distinction at auditions (or he was desperate), so I got asked to do so again (and again, and again) on the icy parking lot outside the Boatel bar for a morning's filming. Despite the bruises on my backside, it was rather fun. I got folks to take pictures of me getting made up as an old lady by Jackie Zaizar and hanging at the Boatel with the cast and crew. You can see that here.

In my normal career I don't act, although I have performed in my own DVD series on Theatrical Makeup Design where I'm a "talking head" that applies makeup to myself as I lecture. You can watch a clip of this here or read more about this project.

I'm best known as the author of the Web's largest site on costume design, construction and history: The Costumer's Manifesto. I was amused and pleased to find that Chronic Town's Costume Designer, Wendy Willis was a fan of the site.

All the clothes I wore as Jenny are weird bits from my own winter wardrobe that Wendy expertly assembled into a bizarrely comic whole. We had a fun time when Wendy first arrived as I madly drove her around Fairbanks in my Auroramobile showing her the UAF costume storage, the fabric store, the costume rental store and Fred Meyer so she'd know what she could get in town if she needed anything.

Probably the most fun for me on this production was filming the "acid trip" scene, which was done in the Boatel Bar one night. The scene included many of the students and staff of Theatre UAF as extras. Amidst the normal bar patrons, I and my Costume Shop Manager Lorraine Pettit drunkenly danced while worshipping my sandwitch. I strongly suspect this will be cutting room floor material, but it was an insane delight to do this in the midst of a group of friends.

Looking back on my experience with the film internship, It's been the most rewarding and great experience in any of the internships I've ever had the privilege to take part in. Personally, I've always had an intense interest in the film industry and this has given me the opportunity to experience the industry first hand and learn from people with the experience I need to succeed in such a demanding and fast paced career.

Working with Greg, our resident grip, taught me a lot about lighting and everything involved with lighting. I learned about gel use and what types of gels create different effects, for example a softer more aged look can be achieved using a warming gel, which is similar in color to an amber colored stone. The idea behind the warming filter is that it gives skin a more luminous and alive look, yet a more aged look to the skin. Warming the skin is good for creating a leathered look. Another popularly used gel is the pearl gel used to soften and create a smoky look, a cooling gel which is light blue is used to create a natural lighting effect, a rose filter to create a candle light effect which also softens imperfections.

Working with Greg and afforded me the opportunity to learn about lighting for film, and photography, which I have an avid interest in. Greg also taught me the concept of three point lighting, key lighting which is the strongest of the three parts, it has the most influence on the subject or scene. It is placed to one side of the camera in order to create a shadowing effect on the opposite side of the subject. Fill light is used on the opposite side of the key light to eliminate some of the shadowing caused by the key lighting. It is usually softer and less harsh then the key light, which can be accomplished using a frosted, pearl, warming, cooling or rose tinted gel. The third part of three point lighting is the back light, which is used to separate the subject from the background and create a three-dimensional effect on the photograph or film screen. If desired, you can use a fourth light to light the entire background, to greatly reduce shadowing or create a brighter photograph or scene for film.

I also had the opportunity to work with Jackie on makeup design and execution. I learned basic aging and injury makeup. I am taking makeup for theatre at the moment so I was able to compare and contrast the different elements of stage makeup versus film makeup. Everything is less accentuated and bold with film makeup and the amount of highlighting used in greatly diminished. I was able to help with some of the makeup used for the strip club scene, and basic imperfection reducing makeup.

I was also able to discuss makeup coloring and how to make a subject as natural as possible and still be as perfect as possible. For example blush used on almost anyone should be a peach based blush, as it is the most natural and fits almost any complexion. As for eye liner, if the subject has small eyes then lining the eyes outside the eyelashes is recommended as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, if the subject already has prominent eyes, then lining the eyes on the inside of the lashes is used to balance the other facial features with each other. A neutral lip shade of medium glossiness is recommended as well, however, it should be fairly translucent, so it doesn't come across as too artificial in the photograph or the film screen. The idea behind film makeup is to accentuate the subjects natural beauty and features without coming across as made up. Over all this internship has been a very rewarding and fulfilling experience. It has given me insight into the career I plan on working in the rest of my life. I hope that this opportunity is afforded to future students here at UAF. I hope the state of Alaska becomes part of a massive growing industry, the fast paced world of the film and entertainment industry.
