Mark Viniello
About Mark
Over the last several years, Mark has been honored to hold the position of Makeup Effects Coordinator/Supervisor at leading FX studio Spectral Motion, bringing with him nearly 30 years of industry experience. Previous to his time at Spectral, Viniello shared his talents with many of the top shops in Hollywood, including Stan Winston Studio, Amalgamated Dynamics Inc., Steve Johnson’s Edge FX, Weta Workshop, Harlow FX, Patrick Tatopoulos Designs, MastersFX, and more. His resume veritably bursts with film and television credits, including Stranger Things, True Blood, Starship Troopers, Alien: Resurrection, The Lord of the Rings, Where the Wild Things Are, and Jurassic Park III, just to name a few.
One might attribute such A-list prominence to Viniello’s versatility. In one moment, he’s puppeteering a massive pteranodon on Jurassic Park III while the next finds him handling makeup effects for Pirates of the Caribbean or generating special web effects for all three Spider-Man films. Through it all, Viniello demonstrates the paradigm blend of innovator and manager, qualities that ensure his value in the challenging and rapidly evolving field of Special Makeup and Creature Effects.
