Anya Hindmarch Cascade show.

Our third show with Anya Hindmarch and her team. 2013
Amazing experience, just a bit edgy as we say in the
biz. 
My team made the effects that lift flip and rotate the bags.

This was my second project with Anya Hindmarch. We had 14 people inside the rotating set with all the mechanical effects hand operated except for the mice and roaches running about.

Queen Of Hearts Summer 2012

Worked at Artem as part of a team designing and making this pop-up and inflatable puppet, its part of the opening London Games. It lifted out of a bed that raised up that could rotate 360 degrees via people on the ground and one person inside the body who lifted the body up, operating the arms and a mouth.

Anya Hindmarch 'All I ever wanred ' 2012


Helped creating this fabulous launch for Anya Hindmarch with her wonderful creative team of Bevan Roper and Matt Booth, my own excellent team working out of our Dalston studio we made the animatronics, installed the conveyor belt with the great help from James at Kbr machinery and made some nutty roaming cabinets with performers inside.
The animatronics are now in Paris and can soon be seen back in London in early March.

Spent three months working on the armature changes on
the lead character Sparky under Andy Gents puppet hospital.
The original that was made by Richard at Mackinnon Saunders.
Then I moved to the rigging departmentworking under
Richard Blakey. The whole experience was a great time
learning and interacting with the skilled animators.
Big hopes for the final film.
