FX Work, 2000-Present

I have been working freelance for a number of years providing physical special effects and sculptural pieces for a wide range of clients.

My areas of expertise include:

• Sculpture
Projects have included concept maquettes, full 1:1 scale sculptures for molding as creature effects, prosthetic makeup appliances, masks and unique sculptural pieces. I am experienced using water based clay and oil based Clays such as Chavant and Super Sculpey and Epoxies such as Milliput etc.

• Model Making
I am skilled at scratch building models from found materials and constructing scale miniatures which have most frequently been used as sets for stop motion animations.

• Mold Making
I have constructed numerous 1,2 and 3 part molds using Silicons, Fibreglass and Resins, Plasters, Latex and Hot Melt Rubbers.

• Life Casting
I have cast numerous pieces using plaster and alginate including full body casts.

• Stop Motion Animation
I have worked on several stop motion animations. I have animated, shot and edited all of these and am experienced with the associated camera skills including chroma key techniques.

• Puppet Fabrication
I have constructed several stop motion animation puppets including scratch built and ball jointed armature puppets. I have additionally constructed several articulated silicon rubber puppets for film projects.
