The MandalorianS-III(2023)
Hover Train Car
I worked exclusively on vehicles for season III of The Mandalorian, where at least a third of the sets were vehicles. This was a very fast paced production schedule, which didn't leave much time to do the visual and surfacing development that I often do. It was rather hard to pull just one example from my time there, as so much of it was iconic, intricate, and review worthy.

Army of the Dead(2021)
Casino Vault
The Casino Vault and Corridor was a lot of fun to develop both artistically and from a research perspective. There is such an amazing history of vault design and technology to draw from. Here we decided to go with a blend of 19th century pre industrial ornamentation and detailing with post war international brutalism.
Another challenge on this one was to make the internal mechanisms of the Vault Door both aesthetic and functional as it was requested that the unlocking mechanism be a practical effect.

Venture Library
The Venture House Library posed some very interesting challenges due to the scripting and blocking requirements, as well as the variable times of day/nigh when it was to be seen.
From designing intricate shelving and ornaments, to decorative Victorian inspired steel and glass structures (along with flow and function planning), I had a great time on this set. Its a shame the production was abandoned.
