Do you need to know the facts about high definition?
Whether you work in front of the camera or behind it, high definition (HD) is destined to revolutionise the UK television industry over the next few years.

FilmMakeup.co.uk is not just an online information resource for make-up artists.

It is also an easy to understand reference tool for actors, directors, camera crew, hairdressers, costume designers and many other industry grades - in fact anyone needing to know how HD will affect the on screen image of their performer.

FilmMakeup.co.uk will greatly disappoint those seeking information about the various compression algorithms used in HD for colour resolution or any other similarly detailed technical knowledge about HD.

The technical information appearing on this site has been translated into plain English - for those of us who still steadfastly believe that a "hard drive" is getting stuck in traffic on our way to the studio.

But if you happen to belong to a technical grade in the industry, please don't click away from the site without first taking a quick look round. The site contains nontechnical answers to some fairly technical questions and may be of value to the cast and crew you work with. Please do direct your colleagues to FilmMakeup.co.uk if you feel they would benefit from the information provided on these pages.

FilmMakeup.co.uk is also an HD “hype free zone”.

You may be visiting this website because you’ve either read or heard something about HD that has given you cause for concern.

If you’re an actor or presenter, you may have read that HD will reveal every tiny facial imperfection to your viewing audience.

If you’re a make-up artist, you might have heard that you’ll need to completely change the way you design and apply your make-up for HD.

You can find the truth about these and many other worries you might have about HD by clicking on the links that can be found at the top of this page. Just choose the link that best describes you.

Whilst nothing on the site must be considered personal or individual make-up advice, I very much hope that the insights provided at FilmMakeup.co.uk will give you the confidence you need to work in high definition.

What is high definition television?
High definition (HD) television is a recording and broadcasting system that gives a picture quality four to five times sharper than the standard definition pictures you’re probably used to watching on your TV set.

Most standard definition television screens make their pictures using 576 active lines - but an HD television can use 1080 lines in wide screen format, resulting in startlingly clear, sharply defined images.

Many countries around the world such as the United States, Australia and Japan already broadcast some or all of their programming in HD.

In the near future, the UK is set to join the high definition revolution.

Will I look different on HD?
High definition cameras record at a greater resolution than the standard definition television cameras you may be used to.

Whilst, of course, you will still look like you, your on screen image will be clearer and show more of your natural skin texture, detail and character than before.

If you’re used to seeing yourself screened in movie theatres, the clarity and resolution of HD is comparable to 35 mm film.

Initially, it can be very disconcerting to work in front of television cameras that can “see” so much more clearly than before. But your make-up artist should understand your concerns and work with you to effectively address them, to make sure you retain a great on screen image in HD.

How will HD affect my make-up artistry?
Make Up Artistry in HD HD is not just a change in recording and broadcast standards, it also requires a change in production standards too.

Many make-up artists are naturally concerned about the new broadcast standards and are worried by the some of the stories they’ve heard about working in HD.

If you’re old enough to recall the change from analogue to digital video recording, you will remember make-up artists had similar concerns over a decade ago as they entered the “digital age”.

Don’t forget that the UK is not the first country to adopt HD, with make-up artists in other parts of the world already successfully working in this format.
