Crew Listing


Description

Standby props - for the last few years I have been standby props on various tv productions which works to my strengths as I have a very good eye for detail, continuity and what works visually. Drawing on my years of experience and skills as a maker I can turn my hand to any last minute props and changes.

Carpenter/set builder - I have been construction manager, built and installed many sets for theatre, including site specific in unusual locations, touring productions, outdoor and for theatre/studio spaces.

Prop maker and sculptor - I have been a prop maker and sculptor for over twenty years, creating everything from a life size elephant puppets and replica WW1 rifles to full prosthetic and foam sculptured costumes complete with armour and horns to creating a pair of human scale demon wings.

Skilled working in various materials - sculpting and carving in wood, foam, polystyrene, expanded foam and various clays. Pattern cutting and sculpting using plastazote.

Site manager - before working in theatre I was site manager for an events company, creating large scale events at various locations, coordinating large teams of crew and volunteers, managing logistics, budgets, health and safety and carrying out risk assessments.
