I am a professional film, commercials and event designer. With almost 30 years experience and across a wide range of both large and small projects, I have
designed some very high profile creative events seen by millions in a live environment and projected into cinemas across the world.
One of Hollywood’s most classic films is remade in New Zealand using the very latest digital technologies and massive studio sets. Based in 1930’s New York the story takes us via a tramp steamer to a mysterious island somewhere near Java.
Inside Out’s production of this touring international event allowed for the design of finely mechanized staging to accompany the live and projected show elements, all housed in a massive purpose built and re-locatable venue.
Three and a half years of painstaking work, over 350 sets and locations, multi-million dollar budgets, hundreds of builders, painters, makers. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was as much an epic in the making as it was a motion picture phenomenon.
Directed by Vincent Ward this commercial for the new Singapore Air service from Singapore direct to New York was awarded a 'Mobius Award - Gold' for art direction.
Preformed in the Saint James Theatre as a highlight of the 2005 Wellington Arts Festival the Inside Out Production of Thomas Mann’s ‘The Holy Sinner’ called for a fusion of medieval, industrial and strongly physical design.
This highly acclaimed film needed a design approach that fitted seamlessly into the natural environment of a small coastal Maori village.
