New Moon’s Make-Up Artist Keynote Speaker

This just in from Make-Up Artist magazine:

Norma Hill-Patton, the make-up department head on The Twilight Saga: New Moon, was recently featured as a keynote speaker at the first-ever International Make-Up Artist Trade Show (IMATS) in Toronto. Industry professionals and Twilight fans listened to Hill-Patton as she talked with IMATS Show Director and Make-Up Artist magazine Publisher Michael Key about her career and creating the looks for New Moon’s vampires, wolves and Volturi characters.

Later in the day, a long line of fans waited to get her autograph and gathered to see her do live Edward and Jane make-up recreations in the Make-Up Artist magazine booth.

    EW Reveals First Batch of New Moon Easter Eggs

    Earlier we told you that the IPhone/ITouch Twilight Tracker app would reveal 5 secret Easter Eggs and so would Entertainment Weekly. Well, the EW eggs are now out!

    EW tells us, “New Moon director Chris Weitz spills the beans on a few things he hid in the film – exclusively in this week’s Entertainment Weekly. Some clues include hidden wolves, vampire elevator music, an element to Bella’s baggage, speed tricks, the answer to what Jacob says to Bella before he almost kisses her.”

    Get the full details here on EW. The issue that features this info and more is the one currently on  newsstands.

    According to EW, “Want more? Come back to EW.com tomorrow for five more New Moon secrets from director Chris Weitz”

    New Moon Easter Eggs

    No, we don’t mean the Easter Bunny is visiting Forks.  For those of you who don’t know the term “Easter Egg” in a film context, according to Wikipedia it means, “A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, web page or video game. The term was coined – according to Warren Robinett – by Atari after they were pointed to the secret message left by Robinett in the game Adventure.[1] It draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many Western nations as well as the last Russian imperial family’s tradition of giving elaborately jeweled egg-shaped creations by Carl Fabergé which contained hidden surprises.”

    So using the Twilight movie as an example, Easter Eggs would be Stephenie’s Cameo appearance and the take-off on the Twilight cover with the “edible art” routine.

    So here’s what we were just told by Summit:

    “Here are details on a special NEW MOON exclusive from Chris Weitz, please feel free to share with your readers.

    Director Chris Weitz has a list of 5 things from NEW MOON you may have missed, available only on the Twilight Tracker iPhone & iPod Touch App.  The Twilight Tracker App can be downloaded here — itunes.com/twilight

    Check this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly for 5 additional items, and see NEW MOON again to spot the hidden easter eggs!”
