Blood and Soil

Worked as a two man team with Production Designer, Alfredo Acle, to clear a remote forest, construct, and assemble an authentic civil war camp for the film “Blood and Soil”. Though many smaller items were found/rented, quite a few items were made from scratch according to the period. Atmospheric smoke and haze effects were also included in the list of responsibilities.

Target Wonderland

With the main construction by (LA Fabricators), we provided most of the guest inputs (button, switches, knobs, ect.) for the 2015 Target Wonderland pop up store in NYC and the associated electro-mechanical elements that tied them into the show control system.


Fender Replica Breakaway

Constructed a pair of replica fender squire breakaway guitars for the music video, “Dangerous! – Not One of You”. Guitars were filled with confetti and when smashed, a source of wind was used off screen to disperse the confetti. Shot on the RED camera at 60 fps.

Hellevator

Mechanical and electronic effects for the pilot episode of Hellevator. Effects include the elevator button panel and associated controls, spring-loaded drawers, desks that fly open on command, and lockers that fling open by themselves.


Insidious Viewmaster

Created for Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park, recreation of ghost sensing equipment used by the characters Specs and Tucker from the film “Insidious”. Completely accurate down to make and model of lenses used.

Insidious Meter

Created for Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park, recreation of ghost sensing equipment used by the characters Specs and Tucker from the film “Insidious”. Some changes were made to the original appearance of the “wand” portion to address durability concerns. Buttons allow user to light up the gauge and flash an led on the device, as well as activate a strobe in the end of the wand.

Teleporter

An illusion that we designed and fabricated to look like a commercially available desktop teleportation machine. Any item up to 6″x6″x6″ can be made to disappear on command. Inside is lit with blue LEDs in addition to Arduino controlled white LEDs that create a chasing and strobing effect. In addition to the machine, the drawers under the tables were custom made for the application.


Insidious Walker

Created for Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park, recreation of the baby walker from “Insidious 2”. Mostly accurate with exception of the fabric pattern on the seat. Arduino controlled lights flash randomly on command.
