[one_half]Kansas native Damien Zimmerman was 100% self-taught by watching special effects instructional videos and talking to others online. He is one of the extremely few effects artists in his area. Supported by his mother and grandparents, Damien began constructing haunted houses at a very young age, which eventually carried over into makeup effects. He also was the 1st place winner of a costume contest that was featured on Syfy’s Heroes of Cosplay in 2013. Besides makeup, he also builds sets, costumes, and props. His dream is to fully immerse himself into film and Halloween culture and thrive. As an outgoing and passionate artist, Damien believes he may become the loudest and most talkative contestant on season 7.[/one_half] [one_half_last]David O’Connell specializes in prosthetic application and painting, possessing skills that could potentially take his creations to a level never seen on Face Off. During his time in ROTC during school, he learned that “on time is late” and this discipline allowed him to lead a team of 11 artists in completing makeup for 400 people in four hours nightly at Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights. For David, special effects, is a way of life – to the point where breakfast at grandma’s can turn into an impromptu life-casting session.[/one_half_last]
