On Set

because of time restraintes the short film i am currently woring on will be the first

that i cannot be on set for all times during filming, its a strange feeling. its not

just lack of control over last minute changes and the look but also that i

genuinlly enjoy being on sets.the long hours, tensions, pressure and wierd food

dont bother me. i like watching all the little bits that everyone involved has worked

seperatlyon come together. below are a backstage photos from different projects.

Hazel- me and make up (holly) getting lead actress shian denovan ready for the

tourture scene.the holes and slashes in the dress has to match up with make-ups false

cuts and burns... hence the two of us working simultainiously up in the

wardrobe/costume room.

layers of screen print on thin paper, one layer for bone, one for muscle, one for

ideas/symbols ect and a final one for skin. free hand sewn

together then picked at till all the layers are visable but you can still tell its a face.
