BA (Hons) Make-up and Prosthetics for Performance
For my Final Major Project I based my design and story on the script 'Under, Over, Through' [2010 edition] by Jack Gleeson. Only realising a small fraction of the script I had rewritten two scenes and made the 3 characters involved. They were created to function in the performance context of a graphic novel [those mostly inspired by the artwork by Dave McKean]. I renamed the project 'A Chamber In The Earth' to emphasise the scene [setting in only one place] consisting of epic events however how little effect it will have in history, being a part of a fantastical however neglected world. FINAL MAJOR PROJECT- Big Thanks! Kitsune________Steve Cheriton Jonathan_______Phillip David Barr The Moth_______Amy Hickie Photographer____Alex Springer, A Star Studios Make-Up Assistants________Sophie Venes & Ruth Kelly ...and Jack Gleeson for letting me use his work as my own project. I will continue working on this project in the hopes to eventually finish a complete 2-Chapter graphic novel as te finished piece of work. I have always liked characters that have been strange and wondrous in all performance media. It is these characters and their stories that inspire my own work and have helped me find my own style within this course. Although I have made a lot of prosthetics I have also made wigs for each of my projects and always try new techniques and different materials each term. I have enjoyed not only the making and applying process, but the design, script-writing and story-boarding aspect accomplished in my final year. I hope you enjoy my work, there is always much to improve and it will drive me further in future projects and jobs.
