Glenn Hetrick, special effects makeup artist, explains his work on Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. Diving into the interview, he explains the thousands of makeup pieces he had to create just in the hospital scene. He describes the time spent on the artistic part in comparison to the time spent managing the project. He indulges in his ego, especially with the creativity, and how he has to push it aside to hire people who are better than him. Near the end he states the competitive nature in his field, but claims that it is the admiration of his fellow peers that causes him to work harder and create more intricate designs. He ends by stating that as a kid he dreamed of having a career in makeup and how happy it is that his childhood dream came true.
