HOW MUCH DO PROSTHETICS ARTISTS EARN?

There are no set rates and many variables that affect artists’ pay. Rates vary widely according to skills, experience, and level of responsibility, as well as the size of the production and which country it’s in. There also tend to be different rates for workshop and on-set work.

DO I NEED A FORMAL QUALIFICATION TO GET A JOB?

No, but having a qualification proves that you’ve studied properly, preferably under experienced, knowledgeable teachers. This means you’re more likely to understand the industry, and graduating from a reputable course can give you credibility with potential employers.

SHOULD I WORK FOR FREE TO GAIN EXPERIENCE?

If you’re getting something from it and not losing money then yes. A student film where nobody on the crew is getting paid for example is ok, but if others are being paid when you’re not, that’s exploitation. As a minimum, all out of pocket expense such as materials and travel should be covered.SEE ALL FAQS
