Véronique Dumas

After training as a special effects make-up artist in 2001, Véronique Dumas worked in the prototyping and mold making department in a mannequin factory, practicing sculpting and discovering materials and techniques, such as fiberglass.

Her career took a turn when she worked with Adrien Morot, where she developed a multitude of mould-making techniques and discovered the uses of silicon. She then trained in fine arts for one year at the Saydie Bronfman center for the arts and in automotive body repair. She also worked in an antiques and artwork restoration shop.

As the years went by, she worked on several feature films at Meastro Studio such as Taking Lives, and Night at the Museum, and on TV series like Cauchemar d’amour and Fortier. She participated in the making of several short films as chief of special effects, especially with director Éric Falardeau. She now works on two films with Falardeau: Thanathomorphose and Crépuscule, a stop motion animation short for which she designs and fabricates puppets and sets. She gives mould making and special effects courses since spring 2009.
