Last year on House of the Dragon S3 I had the hilarious opportunity to become one of the many beautifully created bodies littering the battlefield. It’s an odd exercise to punch your own head and if I had a little more time I certainly would have added a lot more greys 😅 Prosthetics Designer @waldomason Prosthetics Supervisor @fairyfancyfoot On Set Supervisor @stuart_j_richards Art Finishing Supervisor @nikkiegrimshaw Painting Jun Matsuura Prosthetic Hair Supervisor @alisontisson Hairpunching @rajsfx Scanning and digital work @rachel_mc_closkey @dan.martinico And again, anyone involved in moulding, running and anything else to do with this beauty, let me know! #houseofthedragon #battlefield #hairpunching #hotd #browsonfleek

Trying to lighten the load of my gallery (far too mnay photos!) I came across this fabulous photo. Celebrating Zachs achievement of getting into the police. Madam Tussauds hair inserters and colourist team. 💖 I spent a fantastic year working with this team back in 2016. Thank you for the great memories, I learnt so much (not just work!) 🤩😍 Sorry if you're not tagged, I couldn't find you on insta!

🪐 We are super happy to announce that SPACE PLUG has been selected for Short Of The Week @shortoftheweek and Director’s Notes @directorsnotes , which means our film is available to watch online today (LINK IN BIO)! Both platforms feature interviews with Writer & Director Marcus Anthony Thomas which gives a more in-depth look at the rollercoaster journey of making Space Plug. ✨🙌 “Originality is one of the core qualities we seek in our Short of the Week selections, yet as Managing Editor, I often wonder if our curation truly lives up to this standard. Genuine originality in filmmaking is rare, yet in a format mostly free from commercial constraints, shouldn’t we expect short films to push creative boundaries even further? If you’re craving something truly unique in your short film experience, today’s pick – Space Plug – delivers exactly that.” Rob Munday @_robmunday , Managing Editor at Short Of the Week. “Selected as part of the 2023 Star Imagine Shorts Incubator and premiering at the BFI London Film Festival in the same year, Marcus Anthony Thomas’ Space Plug, which has intrigued, confused and provoked audience debate in equal measure during its ensuing festival circuit run, is a short to that needs to be seen unsullied. Thomas intrepidly pushed far beyond the filmmaking processes and learning he had already garnered and alongside producing partner Jordi Morera put themselves to the test with what can only be described as epic results. Space Plug, shot in a rich depth of black and white is an example of the potency of dialogue free storytelling, original and imaginative visual effects and what is possible when we take ourselves outside of our comfort zones. For today’s multi-platform premiere of Thomas’ visionary short, we speak to him in detail about creating a narrative audiences can imprint their own meaning onto, using a miniature set for some of the more bizarre sequences and the all-important creation and development of the film’s unusual maternal caregiver.” Sarah Smith @sezonlyknows Directors Notes Editor.

Still reeling from the incredible news that we have been nominated by @theacademy for Best Makeup & Hairstyling for our work on Dame Helen Mirren as 'Golda Meir' alongside @karen_hartley_thomas and her amazing Hair & Makeup Team! Of course, no prosthetic makeup can come together without a team of artists working tirelessly in a dusty and sticky workshop! So here's a MASSIVE shout out and thank you to the Prosthetics Team at Red Girl who worked on 'Golda'👏👏👏 At the Makeup & Hairstyling Bake-Off in LA, I spoke about how amazing an opportunity 'Golda' was. Jobs like this don't come around very often, particularly for a newer company like Red Girl - one that is not only run by a woman but has mostly women in the workshop as well (and Raj, who we love!) That makes this nomination all the more special to me and an incredible milestone for Red Girl ❤️ #goldamovie #academyawards #oscars2024 #bestmakeupandhairstyling #golda #womanled #womanowned
