2022

2022 marked us going back to a more normal life again. And I got to do some effects for a reboot of an old TV classic and revisit the Eurovision! And sooo many legs for the medical industry....
One of the most fun shows I worked on for this years releases was the return of Kenny Starfighter to Swedish TV after a 25 years break.
I was originally…
My biggest job for the show was turning Simon J Berger into the evil Dr Deo that wants to take over the world.
It was a really quick turn around for such a big job and it didn't get better by the fact that they cut ONE month of my pre-prod because they had to shoot one…

Simon was great to work with!

So to get the new teeth as…
What I did change was to add some gums at the top for Penny (Who's teeeth should look as much as Kenny's as possible) since she didn't have any natural grips on…

So since it was filmed during Covid times I was not able to do a normal head cast of him and we used a 3D scanner instead.
So I could then print a small copy of Simon and sculpt on that to show the directors.
Here you can see the size!

It was an early start that day...
