Prop Maker/ Set Builder
I mostly work with designing graphic props. Although I also build set pieces and set placement. I am happiest building something.
Fiction Film - Caught Like a Fly: Set Piece
Fiction Film - Bar Set Design
Fiction film Props - One of the missing posters I edited. I made 4 different ones. All with spider related names. I got a generic missing poster and edited the picture and details.
I created an evidence wall. It had a multitude of research into spiders on it. The myths, legends and histories. How to protect yourself from spiders. their weaknesses.
Newspaper article about a missing jogger. I edited it on photoshop. Made it look real when the camera passed it. From afar. It looked real.

Empty Bar - Set Design: for the taster film of our Final Fiction film piece. I was doing set placement for an empty bar that needed a lot of set dressing. I needed to find bottles from all over the place. Beer mats, even an extra non working pump.
Full Bar - Glass Bottles filled with water food colouring or Orange squash. I knew I wanted a rundown bar feel for the main piece. That meant finding alcohol bottles that weren't obscure. In the end the we had a lot of fancy gin bottles that didn't fit the bar feel. however I am okay with that.

Technical Theatre - The Tempest
During the production of the Tempest we decided to make the piece immersive. The audience walks across a bridge to the boat we have laid out.
We rigged up a sail and made wooden pallets into a boat. We projected our faces onto polystyrene heads to tell the tale of the Tempest
The pirate was an interesting character to dress. We wanted a feminie/ masculine character.

Scenography Project - Moon Rocks
The Moon Project was about missing moon rocks that America gave to all countries all over the world. from Apollo 11/17 space missions. I graphic designed a newspaper headlines to say the moon rock had gone missing. It was extremely interesing.
It is a ticket to the moon That I edited. It got its close up on the big screen.
I took the role because I have an interest in film. being able to film and have the audience choose between where they looked. was an odd experience
