I have just started an intern-ship in the costume/fabrication department that are creating the pieces for the opening and closing ceremonies of both the Olympic and Paralympic games. This is all a very secret operation so I can't reveal what I have been working on, only that Danny Boyle is directing and be prepared for some amazing stuff! The studio's themselves are very picturesque and it is just fabulous working along side some truly talented makers, making dresses, prototypes props and all manor of bits and pieces all made that much more exciting by how secret squirrel we all have to be about it.
Keep you posted!

Animatronic Monkey
Below are photographs of the Golden Monkey model, I created this piece from my own design (please see design and illustration folder). The Monkey had a fibre glass core and a foam latex skin giving it a life-like feel. The Monkey has a moving jaw as well as ears that twitch and changing expressions in the brow area (video to follow). I sculpted each individual gold tooth and hair replaced the fur as well as building a wooden stand on which the monkey sits.
