Question:
How do you work so hard to create award winning prosthetics in virtually no time,
with little money, pull it all off miraculously. Then be made to feel like crap
at the end of the production.
Answer:
I don’t Know but Bodies Managed it!!
Look out for some video footage soon. If I'm working it might take a bit of
time though. |

Burnt Body
Max Beesley as himself. A great guy. I enjoyed being on set with him. Loved his
banter, especially with Ged Macuro the writer, and especially his impressions.
Max is with our burns victim. Thank god it's all makeup !! |
Gel
Baby Head
Here is a close up shot of the vinyl baby made for the birth scene. We won
our RTS( Royal Television Award) for our hard work. |
Gel
Baby Head 01
Same again. Another angle. Will show the sculpt later on. |
Birth
Max Beesley in birth mode. Our fake torso and baby head. Max and Patrick did
a sterling job. |
Birth
01
Close up of the birth. Our prosthetic legs and tum are slighty dislocated to
aid the birthing process. |
Birth
02
Close up of birth. Look out for video footage on soon. |
Fake
Belly
Here we show you how we made all our bellys to fit under and around our actor.
This is inter-cut with our fake belly and the the full birth prosthetic. |
Gel
Baby
One of my gel babies. I had the mold for this stolen on the last day of bodies!
I was so gutted, as it was about the fourth re-sculpt and re-mould for me to get
it to this point.
I don’t sculpt enough everyday to get better or quicker. It was a mould
that had served me well for many jobs. |
Premature
Birth
Lovely Neave with the gel baby. What a great face. And the baby's fine too!! |
Burns
Victim
This was part of an episode in which, a husband sets fire to his gilfriend
and his son.
This was a cast from a mould made for A&E years ago. I redressed with burns. |
Burns
Victim 01
Patrick with our young burns boy. We liked Patrick a lot. His character was
a totally shit...
Far from the truth. Patrick’s a great guy.
Look forward to working with them all again. Great cast.
The show deserved much more. Jed Macuro is a Great writer. |
Burns
Victim 02
Just some makeup stages of how I got our burns victim to her shocking state. |
Burns
Victim 03
First I just added some generic eye bags to aid the swollen look and some pre-painted
generic gel pieces on her shoulder and chest. |
Burns
Victim 04
I then added a partial bald cap to hide her own hair. |
Burns
Victim 05
Now some small gel pieces to her face with my own gel and my own direct applied
gel mix. |
Burns
Victim 06
Here, I have pre-made a body suit (arms and legs), so she can just slip them
on for time and conveince.
E.g. the loo!!
We also put our fake bellies on her and direct applied all the seams.
Lyn is doing a bit of colour. |
Burns
Victim 07
Close-up of the same. This is before our gel goes on to make it look wet which,
is not entirely medically correct but brings the colour to life. |
Burns
Victim 08
Dave here doing some touch ups. Her legs and arms wrapped in cling film which,
they do to keep moisture in. And Hey Presto !! |
