John Dods

John Bruce Dods (born December, 1948 in Plainfield, New Jersey) is a filmmaker, make-up artist and specialist in prosthetic make-up effects for movies and the stage. He may be best known for designing and creating the facial appliances for the stage productions of Disney’s "Beauty and the Beast" [John Dods’ "Playbill" biography for "Beauty and the Beast". [http://www.playbill.com/celebritybuzz/whoswho/biography/3033.html] ] .

Dods’ early work as an amateur filmmaker involved the construction of miniature models and sets for elaborate stop-motion animation projects. His creation of latex-covered animation models led him toward the crafts of sculpting, mechanics and mold-making, which in turn led toward a budding career as a mask- and monster-maker (as displayed in the independent 1980s horror films "Nightbeast", "", "Spookies", and "My Demon Lover").

Following his studies under Academy Award-winning make-up artist Dick Smith [Dick Smith’s website: "Recommendations by Top Make-up Artists." [http://www.dicksmithmake-up.com/topmake.htm] ] , Dods was employed as make-up artist, mold-maker and mechanical effects designer in mainstream feature films, including "Poltergeist III", "Ghostbusters II", "Death Becomes Her", "Longtime Companion", "A Kiss Before Dying", "The Santa Clause", "", and "The X-Files".

Dods also was effects supervisor on 18 episodes of the syndicated television series "Monsters", and worked as a set construction supervisor on the "" theme park ride at Universal Studios Florida.

Most recently, Dods created the prosthetic make-up for the creature, played by Shuler Hensley, in Mel Brooks musical stage adaptation of "Young Frankenstein", which debuted on Broadway in November 2007. [ Playbill.com, 24 April 2007 [http://www.playbill.com/news/article/107570.html] ]
