Highlights
-
I have been working in the industry now for nearly 5 years, in which time I completed a Foundation Degree in Media Make-up at Somerset College of Arts and Technology. I had the opportunity to work with the world renowned Hybrix FX in Character and Creature Creation earlier this year which gave me valuable insight into how to work in a full Special Effects workshop.
I have worked primarily on feature films but also on music videos, photo shoots (fashion and advertising), TV adverts and short films.
My most recent projects have been:
A gripping thriller by Mol Smith for Onview.net, working as the Special Effects and make-up designer.
A feature film by Paul Hills, working as the Prosthetics Technician.
A Pilot TV episode in which I created and applied various zombie make-ups.
I am qualified in the following:
Postiche including making facial hair, wig making and wig dressing
Hairdressing and hair styling
Fashion make-up
Photography make-up
Ageing make-up
Special effects including; casualty simulation, lifecasting, sculpting and creating prosthetic moulds and pieces using many different types of polyurethane foams and resins, fibreglass, silicones, gelatin and latex.
