The movie the Sky is Pink is an incredible love story of a couple spanning 25 years, told through the lens of their teenage daughter. It’s such a beautiful thing that our Daniel Bauer Academy team got to be a part of this soul-touching film. When Roy Kapoor films called looking for the best team of makeup artists, they had to look no further than the best makeup academy India.

The thing about movie makeup is that it is very essential to make the audience believe that what they’re seeing on screen is real. The work of hair and makeup artists is to convey the personality of the characters to the viewer. There’s a lot of research that goes into designing the actors’ looks. In movies, when do you know you’ve done a good job as a makeup artist? When your work goes completely unnoticed. Skills like these, come with dedication. Students of Daniel Bauer Academy have made us immensely proud by pulling this off so well. They handled the entire cast. Our team of 30 makeup and hair artists did everything to the T to make this film come to life.

Movie makeup has its on set of complications. No kidding. It takes a village for all the no-makeup makeup looks to look so seamless. Then there are the practical realities of filming, like how to handle sweat, and expressing emotions through appropriate makeup techniques. Shoot schedules are usually all over the place, so maintaining look continuity is so important. With so many intense scenes, and the delightful chaos on set, it is of utmost significance that the makeup and hair artists build good personal relationships with the actors. Guess what? Daniel Bauer Students ticked all the boxes like our champions. Daniel Bauer students, they never fail to impress when on placements!

What a dream come true to work with the acclaimed director Shonali Bose! This film is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, Ronnie Screwvala and Priyanka Chopra Jonas under their production companies Roy Kapur Films, RSVP Movies, and Purple Pebble Pictures, respectively, in association with Ivanhoe Pictures. PC gracefully played motherhood while Farhan was the doting father in the movie. Finally, Daniel Bauer Academy aced makeup and hair flawlessly. Can you name a better squad?

The highlight of the film are the songs. Our team of artists really came alive during the music video shoots. Pritam’s music is calming and goes well with the story. The cinematography has to be given all its credit for capturing the beauty of London and all the other locations in the movie. This film was shot in Delhi, Mumbai and Andamans Islands as well. Movies like these are made once in a blue moon. Its told in such a manner that it’ll linger in your mind forever. This learning experience was the best for all our Daniel Bauer students.

It’s no surprise that this film’s screening got a standing ovation at the 44th Torronto International Film Festival. It changed the careers of our students from all over India forever. In the end, I’d like to take away one thing; YOU CAN PAINT YOUR SKY WHATEVER COLOUR YOU WANT IT TO BE.
