HIS DARK MATERIALS : INTENTION CRAFT DESIGN

The final series of His Dark Materials premiered in December on the BBC here in the UK, I was again asked by production designer Joel Collins to work on the show. My main job was trying to lock down the design and look of the 'Intention craft' - which plays a major role in the story. There was a lot of iterative work done before handing the approved design over to production, it was also amazing to see this as a full size set build as well as VFX .





This video from the Painting Practice Youtube channel has a great overview of the process of bringing life to this design for the show (the screengrab below shows the final design I did).

HIS DARK MATERIALS - ALETHIOMETER

The most iconic prop for the show is the Alethiometer and I was thrilled when I was asked by Production Designer Joel Collins to work on the design. Many ideas were worked on over in an intensive design period back in 2017 where a new 'look' for the device was explored whilst also trying to remain faithful to the idea developed in the books.

HIS DARK MATERIALS - SPY FLY

In Episode three, we are introduced to the spy fly, a mechanical device filled with a bad spirit which tracks Lyra. This was a great design task and I spent a few weeks creating many thumbnails, graphic layouts of the shell and key art for Production Designer Joel Collins and VFX Supervisor Dan May. 

Painting Practice Ltd have a showreel featuring some of my artwork for this on their social media channels - screenshots below are from the episode with VFX by Framestore.

THE CURRENT WAR

Back in 2016 I was fortunate enough to work on The Current War at Leavesden Studios here in the UK. The film was unfortunately delayed but it thankfully got a release earlier this year and is now out to buy on Blu ray and stream. It was a fantastic experience working with Production Designer Jan Roelfs and to be part of a great art department on a period film like this.
