THE HOBBIT TRILOGY

 BY DIRECTOR PETER JACKSON

​

I WORKED IN MANY DEPARTMENTS BUT MOSTLY PROSTHETICS & SCULPTING WHILE WITH WETA WORKSHOP. I SCULPTED ELF ARMOUR, MUTATED GOBLIN SKIN, CHILDREN HOBBIT FEET, ORC FEET, SLEEPING DIGI DOUBLE HEADS OF THE ACTORS AND CAST, IN A SILICONE CALLED ECO-FLEX, DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF DWARF PROSTHETIC ARMS AND HOBBIT FEET.

​

THESE PICTURES ARE ALL I'M ALLOWED TO SHOW FOR NOW. THEY DO SHOW SOME GOOD EXAMPLES OF THE PROSTHETIC HANDS OUR TEAM MADE.

 

ON THE ORIGINAL VILLAIN BOLG I SCULPTED HIS RIBCAGE ARMOUR AND GREAVES, BUT ALAS, HIS VILLAINY WAS REPLACED BY THE ALL DIGITAL AZOG AS WERE ALL THE HARD WORK PUT INTO MAKING PRACTICAL GOBLINS.

​

I WAS ALSO PROJECT MANAGER IN REPAINTING PETER JACKSON'S MASSIVE GREEN SCREEN WHICH WAS DESTROYED DUE TO THE ELEMENTS. IT WAS A DIFFICULT FAST PACED JOB IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE FILMING GOT BACK ON SCHEDULE BUT I STILL HAD LOTS OF FUN DOING IT.
