Ever wonder how hard it is to create a monster? My cousin Brian found out when he starred on Broadway a few years ago in “Shrek the Musical.” He spent more than 1,700 total hours in that green make-up!

I just finished putting together this video for Brian’s website (I’m helping him update his site plus optimize his social media, such as setting up his YouTube channel). Brian had a series of “becoming Shrek” photos lying around so I offered to put them to music (he aptly chose Panic! at the Disco’s song “That Green Gentleman [Things Have Changed]”), while adding in some related video footage. The most eye-opening part, I think, is the list of folks Brian thanks at the end for helping him with make-up and costumes in both his Seattle previews and NYC. Apparently it takes a village to make a monster (although Boris Karloff might say it takes a village to kill a monster.)

A fun little video project for me. Stay tuned for more changes on Brian’s site….
