A childhood spark

0:55

Amsterdam when I was

0:55

6 years old. That film sort of lit a

0:58

spark in me. First of all, I was just in

1:00

awe, overwhelmed, and it made me

1:03

extremely curious how they crafted these

1:07

films, how they can physically make

1:08

something that realistic. I just took it

1:12

all in and uh I think that sort of, you

1:14

know, slowly prepared me for my future

1:16

career. I would read up on books,

1:18

magazines. I started experimenting with

1:21

rubber heads, hobby clay, plaster, wood,

1:25

anything, and put them in my room as

1:28

ornaments. You know, I just kept

1:29

churning them out, trying to perfect my

1:31

style.

1:32

So, how does it work?

1:34

It's a lengthy process. From script, it

1:37

goes to the design department, and then

1:39

that mold lands on my desk. I insert

1:44

clay for the for to create the skin.

1:46

Within that, I build my animatronics.
