The Rig

What seemed like a million years but was actually only a little under 2 years ago, I was making a bunch of stuff for "The Rig" which is now finally showing on Amazon Prime. A supernatural thriller based on an oil rig in the North Sea. Lots of wheels and valves moulded and cast from an original. Painted by the onset scenics, they were to be dotted about the massive set built in the film studios in Leith docks. Sadly, I never got to see them in situ so will need to keep my eyes peeled to try and spot some on the telly. Was my first go at rotocasting, where I built my own manual rickety machine from scraps of wood. Always a challenge but always a fantastic learning process. I was really quite proud of myself. Stand by for the other things I made...
