Projects
From the Sketch Book, to the Screen...
Independent film, immersive theatre, opera, festivals and events. With every project I am a part of, it is my passion to successfully achieve goals through innovative ideas, especially in the face of budget limitations.
Alchemy is something I take very seriously, and I prioritise recycling materials used within every set I create. I aim to limit waste where ever possible, ensuring set pieces and materials go on to be used recycled in another film or stage production. I hardly ever visit the tip, and if I do, its usually to pick something up!
Somewhere else?
I'll meet you there!
THE PRIDE OF WADE ELLISON | SCENIC PAINTER

Gallery
I'm skilled in model making, poly carving, sculpture, and casting, enabling me to make bespoke scenery and props to specifications, or design them from scratch.
PRODUCTION DESIGN
To create this infinite world of mazes, I had to design a set which could be completely flexible, including carpets, walls and ceilings.
To ensure flexibility without compromising on aesthetic, I created a series of almost identical cubicles, with individual ceiling panels to accompany each respective cube or wall. This would then enable Directors Jonny Moore and Leonora Lin-Moore, to manipulate the identical cubicles at will, into a series of mind-bending corridors and configurations.
The entire set consisting of 24 doors, 5 walls, 32 cubicles and over 40 adjustable ceiling panels is by far the largest set I've designed, standing 23 Metres long by16 metres wide.

Dirty
I provide a wealth of scenic painting techniques including spraying,
stencilling, faux effects, texture, and ageing. I am able to interpret designs and work well under pressure to meet a deadline.
I understand the importance of continuity and have a keen eye for detail. I am aware of the dos and don'ts when dressing and have experience with Sci fi, Drama and period Western.
