Creature Effects Project
For this project, I sought to collaborate with an actor, transforming them into a clicker character based on a creature from The Last of Us game.
My goal was to recruit a team and conduct a photo shoot.

Head makeup artist - Lily Gardner
Prosthetic maker - Lily Gardner
Costume Maker - Lily Gardner
Model - Sebastian Coleman
Photography - Nico Venables
Make-up Assistant- Ruth Norwood
