As a third-year Design for Film student at IADT, I specialize in Modelmaking, focusing on prop making. This field allows me to combine my artistic skills with technical knowledge to create detailed and functional props that enhance storytelling in film. Through my coursework and practical projects, I have honed my abilities in crafting materials, understanding scale, and collaborating with peers, all of which are essential for bringing imaginative worlds to life on screen.

This is a mask from a clay sculpt by applying several layers of liquid latex over a plaster cast of the sculpture. Once cured, the latex was peeled away, resulting in a flexible and detailed mask that captures the intricacies of the original sculpture.
LATEX MASK
The miniature U-boat crafted in a 1:50 scale, featuring a base constructed from laser-cut wooden pieces that provide a sturdy foundation. The gun, intricately designed, is 3D printed, while aluminum wires add a touch of realism to the model. This attention to detail reflects the craftsmanship and creativity involved in its creation.
MINIATURE
The miniature U-boat was filmed on a green screen set, allowing for detailed close-up shots without background distractions. After filming, visual effects teams digitally integrated the U-boat into an ocean scene. Careful attention was given to lighting and movement to ensure realism, making the U-boat appear as if it were seamlessly navigating the ocean waves.
A sculpture inspired by the Yeats’ writing. Blending human features with snail characteristics. Using clay, I formed the elongated shape of the head and textured it to resemble a snail. I incorporated bulging eyes on long stalks and expressive facial features to convey a sense of menace, painting intricate details to enhance its form and texture.
CLAY SCULPTING
Two puppets created using a base made from foam, giving them a lightweight structure. The skin of each puppet was fashioned from soft felt and synthetic fur, providing a colorful and textured appearance. Their arms were designed to move with the help of wooden poles, allowing for simple expressive movements.
