FEATURED PROJECTS
01
ASSISTANT ART DIRECTOR / ART DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT
I worked as a part of the team responsible for designing a week of specials focusing on a big storm that wreaks havoc in Emmerdale village. This involved working with an increased budget where I was creating storyboards and technical drawings for use in big action stunt sequences that included explosions, flipping cars and launching a caravan down the street. I also assisted with set dressing and created a digital model of the entirety of Emmerdale village.
02
VILLA STRAYLIGHT
A continuation of the adaptation of William Gibson’s cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. The focus is on the Tessier-Ashpool family’s palatial residence, Villa Straylight, aboard Freeside space station in orbit above Earth. Featuring heavily in the second half of the story, the Villa Straylight is ‘an endless series of chambers linked by passages’, where a heist is carried out in order to upload a virus into Straylight’s core that will release the AI Neuromancer.
03
CHIBA CITY
An adaptation of William Gibson’s cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. Part I focuses on Chiba City, where cyberhacker Case is living at the start of the story. The city is a neon-soaked cesspit for crime and invasive technological body modifications. Case’s implants have been damaged and he is trying to earn enough money to get them repaired, but things take a turn when the razorgirl Molly shows up to recruit Case for a high-stakes technological heist on behalf of war veteran Armitage.
04
SCOTLAND YARD
An adaptation of the steampunk short film script The Quartermaster by Charles C. Cochran. Set in a hyper-industrialised version of victorian London, the story follows Arthur, an inventor recruited by Scotland Yard to investigate a Fenian factory with his drone. Scotland Yard’s quartermaster Duncan turns out to be a spy for the Fenians, and it becomes a race against time for Arthur and M to blow up the factory before the army of steam men destroy London.
