30 minutes or less - feature film - scenic foreman

---

Responsible for a wide variety of scenic treatments, myself and my crew faux painted MDF cabinetry, rusted and aged a matching pair of cars, did vinyl transfer lettering on a fleet of GRPD vehicles, aged and did surface treatments on a custom-built garage set, painted an entire pizza parlor including the prop signage, aged a construction trailer, did location faux painting in a dozen different locations, including painting the rear of a block-long two-story warehouse.   

Based on my designs, my crew built and painted a wide variety of set pieces for the production, including a faux Einstein exhibit installed in the Grand Rapids Public Museum, a massive green-screen space-ship set, a hockey-rink penalty box, a reproduction of a shooting range practical location, a faux cement set of steps and a 20' long single surface display table.

  Guns, guns, guns!! For a film about black market arms dealers, I detail painted a wide assortment of air-soft toys to resemble real weapons. I also faux-painted a half-dozen totes and built storage compartments within to hold the weapons as well as creating several million dollars in prop $100's.  

 For a film set entirely inside an old 'steam room', I worked with Art Director David Winick to faux paint and age a styrofoam-skinned 4-wall set. Each section was removable for shooting. The project included actual tile and a soft 'stunt' floor which I aged and stained. 

  For my feature debut as a director, I created many of the special effects for the movie, including creature design and make-up as well as life-casting actors and creating a series of decapitated heads.  

 Produced for the L.A. Comedy Short Film Festival, 'The Tomato' featured a pair of ne'er-do-well actors schlepping their 'healthy foods' schtick from school to school. For the production, I built a spinning 'food wheel' from foam core and steel pipe, faux painted a 'beater car' and rigged their shabby props/scenery to fly off the vehicle on cue as one of the characters races away at the end of the film. 

 For this AFI short, we rented a derelict 'flophouse' in downtown LA for five days and painted-out three floors of the building's hallways including several rooms. I created 'Olive', the mechanical doll from the story upon which the movie was based, from a child mannequin, sculpted the head and cast it in resin, which was then aged and added a 'coin slot' which was also sculpted and cast in resin. For the various rooms I built several small hand props as well as other unusual items including a c

 For this Indie short, I created a torn-throat appliance, supplied with blood by a compressed air tank as well as an 'evil goat' head/mask built from Styrofoam, with raffia hair and 'glowing' LED eyes.
