Scenic Sculpting :: Feature Film & TV

Samples of the scenic sculpting completed through my membership of Local 755 in Hollywood. The feature film at Universal lasted 5 month and I was one of up to 30 sculptors working on the project over that period. The TV pilots ran 2-4 weeks and involved a smaller team of 6-10 sculptors.
