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).

ANT MAN & THE WASP : QUANTUMANIA TRAILER & POSTER RELEASED

I worked on this for the first half of 2021, it was a genuine thrill to work on a Marvel movie and especially part of the Ant Man series. I was in the Set Decoration department working for Richard Roberts and got to design lots of interesting props, I hope to share more when I can. 

HIS DARK MATERIALS SEASON 3 TRAILER RELEASED

The trailer for the final season of His Dark Materials recently premiered and will air in the US and UK this December, I was asked by Production Designer Joel Collins to again work on designs for the show (including an iconic vehicle from the books which can be seen here briefly) more to follow when I can release images.

I had the pleasure of working on Tom and Jerry back in 2019, here's a few screengrabs from the trailer showing sets I worked on. I created each of the sets shown below in 3D and then produced visuals to lock down the look for each.

HIS DARK MATERIALS - LEE'S BALLOON

Lee Scoresby's balloon was a great prop that featured in season one and makes a welcome return in the trailer for season two. I worked on designs for this back in 2017 with Production Designer Joel Collins and VFX Supervisor Dan May.

HIS DARK MATERIALS SEASON 2 TRAILER

The first Season 2 trailer was released through the San Diego Comic Con over the weekend.I had the pleasure of doing a lot of storyboard work for this early on in the production which I'll hopefully be able to share once the series has debuted .

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.

HIS DARK MATERIALS

His Dark materials is an epic TV series currently airing here in the UK on BBC1 and also globally via HBO.  

This video hints at the vast amount of work that went into this project and it was a real pleasure to work with Production Designer Joel Collins and VFX Supervisor Dan May of Painting Practice on this series.

A dream project to be a part of, I was working on this for the majority of last year and props  I worked on included the iconic Alethiometer, Lee Scoresby's balloon and the gyptian barges.

  

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.

  

WATERSHIP DOWN

A new animated adaption of the classic novel Watership Down aired on the BBC here in the UK and on Netflix globally last Christmas. I working with Painting Practice out of Twickenham studios on this for about 6 months back in 2016 as an Assistant Art Director, my job being prop design for pre-production. Production Designer for the series was Joel Collins and Art direction was by Rafael Martin.
