Stop Motion Puppet
Materials; aluminion wire, square and round aluminion tubes, hack saw, milliput, plaster, clay, plasticine, silicon platgel 10,fabric, foil.
To make a stop motion puppet I researched and designed the puppet. Once happy with a scale drawing, I created two armatures. One of the armatures will be for sculpting on, the other will become the skeleton inside the puppet. I used a hand drill, milliput, aluminium wire and square and round tubes. I made the cast out of plaster so I can fix the armature in the middle without touching any sides. I also made the clothes which can be moved into different shapes, using wire and foil.
Severed Head Fibreglass Mould
Materials; lifecast, clay, prolease, beeswax, resin, fibreglass+fibreglass tissue, silicon and foam filler (hard foam not the soft stuff).
I like to paint the severd head with illustrator makeup palette as with this you can wash it off and paint it up to show signs of decay and time.
Ear Life Casting
Materials; RTV silicon, alginate, plaster, pint plastic cups, cotton wool, vasaline, cling film and tape.
Teeth Life Casting
Materials; dental alginate, dental whitestone plaster, teeth rubber base and teeth trays, silicone.
Dental casting will have to be one of my favourite life casting tecneques. Ok it is one of the more gruesome of the lot, however the detail and all the different shapes and sizes fasinate me.

Hair Punching
Materials; hair punching needle, hair of choice.
After exhibiting my Devil work I managed to find work on a short film where I made a severed head. Here I was in charge of the whole project along with the hair punching, painting and blood effects. The process of making the severed head required me to make a life cast of the actors face and then fibre glass the plaster mould. I painted in a thick enough layer of silicon and when it had cured I filled the rest of the head with foam.
47 Ronin
This is a picture of the costume I was helping to make on 47 ronin. Here I took the armour out of the mould to be sanded down either using sanders or dremel. I also had to fix the armour with polyurethane then sand it down ready to be painted. As I was the fastest they moved me on to paint the armour red and gold.
