One of the latest additions to the production crew of Marvel Studios' Captain America is Shaune Harrison, who has been tapped as the film's Prosthetic Sculptor. Harrison's experience in movie make-up and special effects is very extensive, including work on the sets of all seven Harry Potter films and Episodes 1 & 2 of the Star Wars franchise.


Harrison, who is based out of the UK, has said his first inspiration in the industry was watching An American Werewolf In London at the age of thirteen. Since beginning effects work at age twenty, the award winning designer has participated in over 40 films and television shows; as well as producing and directing several of his own short film.


His work on Captain America will more than likely focus on bringing the movie's antagonist the Red Skull, portrayed by Hugo Weaving, to life. Toby Jones has also joined the production as evil scientist Arnim Zola; which may be another character Harrison will have to work with. If the script allows for fan-favorite villain Baron Zemo to join the mix, it's no doubt that Harrison could find his hands full come June 28th; the project's official start date.



The images in this article are from Harrison's work on the films Dark Skye, Uninvited and The Skeleton Crew.
