MOPE
Director: Lucas Hines
PD: Catch Henson
Role: Art Dir & Practical Effects
Fantastic Indie film made by a specularly driven and talented team. Sundance Premiere. 100% true story. 100% Fucked up.
Got to build some awesome appliances for this film. including one of the most complex multi layered, silicone arms with a full skeletal structure which we chopped in high speed with a katana. Lots of blood (and other fluid) effects. Building sets across the valley and downtown LA.
Capped it off with a trip to sundance to see the premiere and meet some equally talented crews and got to introduce them to the crew who had just pulled off the feat of delivering this film to the screen.
With an art team consisting of 2, up to 3 people if we had multiple sets in play which needed to be built and shot. We each did a bit lot of everything to get this film finished.
