I'm currently looking for someone that can mask some special FX makeup and make it look more realistic for a 3 second shot (the cut hand in the following video)

In the end I chose the "special effects" category, as this is effectively like video photoshopping, I think it will just need a mask and some blur or something applying to a small area. But do you think there is a more appropriate section for this request?

Thanks

Hi Kristopher,

I just did a very quick google and this came up which might be of help...

'Special effects(sfx) are practical (props, make-up, animatronics, pyrotechnical, etc.), made on set during production. VFX are digital, made on a computer in post production.' I think VFX would be more suited to your needs.
