  Lead Modelmaker on Thunderbirds Are Go (TV Series) for Pukeko Pictures. Upon receiving previs data from the cg team, I designed the manufacturing process behind the Miniature sets and Practical Models. We executed the builds as a team following the plan and worked closely with the camera, lighting and post production teams. I also handled the fine modelmaking of 'Hero' Vehicles all the way through from 3d-modelling to paint, and any 'puppeteering' on set.

  Culminating in winning a V.E.S award for our work on Blade Runner 2049, I worked for many years at Weta Workshop as an effects technician, primarily as a model maker and project manager building miniatures. Previous years saw me working on many public art sculptural installations and within the many departments within Weta. I have very fond memories of my time working there with such a talented pool of people. 2017 Blade Runner 2049 (Lead Model Maker) 2014/2017 Thunderbirds Are Go (TV Series) Season 1 & 2 = 52 Episodes (Modelmaker) 2016 The Great Wall 2016 Warcraft: The Beginning 2016 The BFG (Design Miniatures) 2015 Krampus 2015 Chappie 2015 i 2014 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 2014 Dracula Untold 2014 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 2013 The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug 2013 Elysium 2012 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Show less
