Props graphic design: Song of the Kraken

Prop graphic design: 

I designed this book that our main character Niko is reading in feature film The Winter. 

We've even had a few people ask where they can buy it to read it.

Matte Painting - Kingsman: The Secret Service Premiere Projection Show

Worked with the fantastic team at Atomic Arts on the premiere projection show for Kingsman: The Secret Service. The whole front of the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square was lit up for the red carpet event, and live concert by Take That.

The film's great fun.  I worked on the matte paintings and background design of the projections, and created texture files for animation.

Matte painting is strikingly similar to theatre backdrop painting for me, just it's all digital. (Much less mess, which is nice, and you swap out the buckets and brushes for a wacom pen.)
Watch the show live here.

Scenic Rendering: TED Global 2013 Stage Design

Had the pleasure of designing the main Stage Set for the TED  Global 2013 conference in Edinburgh.  With the thrilling speakers and the magic of Liz Berry's lighting, it was an amazing experience.  The set combined concepts from photons and wider lunar landscapes. The challenge was in creating something that would play equally well for the live audience and for the many cameras and viewers at home.  

Plus, we got to see quad copters in action.

Costume Design: Circus & Aerial

Costume Design

"In theatre, I love to emerge the crowd in the action unfolding around them: to feel the claustrophobia of a trench, the thrill of dangerous acrobatics. Texture, psychology, and architecture are passions of mine. From gritty realism to art nouveau, I love finding the style to suit the action and the story.

With film, the opportunity to direct the audience's attention and emphasize specific moments with the frame of the set is fantastic. I try to bring my theatre sensibilities and imagination into real world locations. Storyboarding and 3D experience are great tools for understanding how to best get the director's ideas and the story to come to life."
