The Great Raid

In 2002 we produced 20 fully articulated replica bodies for scenes with multiple corpses. The heads, hands, and lower legs were all designed with quick release fittings to allow for character change as well as for quick change out of damaged body parts. All body parts were produced in a flexible urethane. We also produced silicone pull on masks of Japanese soldiers for the stunt department. We also produced full upper torso silicone burn suits for the stunt performers allowing for less clothing and burn suit layers.

Fish Tales

Once again we find ourselves producing mermaids. This time for Alki David a Producer Director from England . He had seen Aquamarine with his 2 leads Kelly Brook and Billy Zane. Thankfully they loved what we had done and a few weeks later we started on the tails for Kelly and her stunt swimmer. We now had the knowledge of producing tails from 2 previous films. I felt these tails have turned out the best yet, we used the quick in and out system from H20 and added a series of glue on platelets to transition from girl to fish, We still hand laid the 4500 scales onto the silicone surface of the tails, I think next time I will make them like dolphins just skin, NO scales…

H2O Just Add Water

Mid 2005 we found ourselves producing more mermaids for Jonathan M Shiff Productions on an Australian TV series for children. We took what we had learnt from Aquamarine and refined the build to take in the requirements of a television shoot. The producers needed the actors to be able to get in and out of the tails quickly, to accommodate for a short shooting day as well as quick make-up scene turnarounds.

Aquamarine : released 2006

For this film we produced the mermaid tails for actress Sara Paxton from the TV series Summerland. The tails were sculpted over Sara's body cast. Foam and silicone skins were produced for 4 tails, each tail was covered in over 5000 scales.

A fully cable controlled tail was also produced for the more complicated and subtle moves of the fluke that the suit tails could not perform.
