SO as part of my degree in Theatre Design at Trent uni, we must take a 6week placement. Having always had a huge interest in the behind the scenes of the films and always made my family watch the extras, i immediately started looking for placements in the film industry. John Schoonraad has been a name that has popped up in the credits of my favourite films for years - being a distinctive name i remembered it - "Googleing" him and finding out he had his own company was the beginning of a whole new career changing path that has launched me into a bizarre world i never thought possible in such a short space of time, and with such talented people so willing to teach me all they know. I went to John knowing absolutely nothing about the process of making SFX props and prosthetic effects and now i have gained a firm grip on the process of mould making, lifecasting, fibreglassing, casting, painting and much more. I cant wait to use my skills learned with John to continue working on such fabulous projects that he has kindly involved me with and explore my own projects for new clients (some projects currently in motion, some in post production) and for my own art work.
Now ive finished uni the fun can begin! Time to launch my career! Daunting yet exciting!
