I recently co-designed a short film called: The Tap That Dripped, which was Written and Directed by Simon Dymond.
The synopsis in short tells a story of a young boy whose imagination stops him from sleeping at night, only to be comforted by an equally as inventive father, leaving a restless night all round.
The film required Hannah Budd and I to design and dress the set, and also to create a Cyclops that would send a shiver through the spine of a “seen it before” audience.
The budget for the film was to beg, borrow and pitch in £10 each.

With thanks to Rebecca Bradbury and the prop store at Trent
College, along with other donators we transformed the above.
The shoot took place over two days, leaving us only an
afternoon to dress the Cyclops, this time planning prompted us to work around
the basis of a mask.
Having created leather masks whilst working
at First Family Entertainment, with thanks to Top Draw, I had molded the base
of the mask. Having worked around the origin to the myth of the Cyclops, Hannah
and I used Liquid Latex and tissue paper to create an elephant skull inspired
design.
