Design of Illusion

Flashback to summer 2013.
A giant wasp animatronic built for the project Stun.

This was the one and only time I worked on animatronics. Everything is a little blurry when I think back to it, but there were so many lovely people involved in the project.

If you were part of it, drop your name in the comments and let me know.

Special thanks to B. Munz.

Flashback to Heilstätten (2018).
Prosthetic work for one of the flashback scenes. Mostly out-of-the-kit prosthetics, applied by a Fiona and myself.

Crazy project, but lovely work and a great team.

Flashback to Season 1 of Cleo.
Prosthetic work for one of the dream sequences. Always fun creating these kinds of practical effects and seeing them come to life on set.

Great project and great people to work with.

Thanks Ruth for bringing me onto this one!

A small preview from the Design of Illusion shop.

Here’s one of the tattoo sheets from the collection.
Most of the designs are already online – we’re still working on a few details.

Feel free to stop by the website and have a look around.

What do you think will happen to our jobs in the film industry?
Image generated with AI. Yes, I’m aware of the irony.

Throwback to Dark – Season 1.

We created this sheep head for a brain dissection scene. The hardware was built in my workshop.

A lot of talented people were involved in bringing this effect to life. Huge thanks to Fiona and Daniel.

If I forgot to mention anyone who helped along the way, please add yourself in the comments.

It was such a great experience to be part of this project. Thanks for having me on board.

This was a fun one. A Halloween commercial for Otto, shot in Bucharest with a whole lot of zombies.

We had such a lovely special effects team on set – incredibly talented people all around.

I’m always grateful to work alongside so many skilled artists.

I honestly can’t remember which project this was – it was just a single day on set, working straight out of the kit.

Swollen eye, swollen lip for a cage fight scene. Quick setup, but effective.

What I do remember clearly is how lovely the stunt crew was and how great the makeup team felt to work with. Really appreciated being part of it.

Thank you all – it meant a lot.
