AMC’s Into the Badlands season 3 much like season 2 was action packed and full of interesting makes. It was a pleasure to work with an amazing crew and be part of such a fun show. The images here are really only a taste of the work created during the making of this season. Season 3 has new characters, new locations and plenty of new weapons.
Little dead robins made for the stage adaption of Grief is the thing with feathers.
I made 4 complete robins, 7 with removable heads and 23 spare heads as they were to be bitten off by Cillian Murphy and spat into the audience therefore could easily get lost.

Season 2 of AMC'S Into The Badlands. Into The Badlands is a prop builders dream, the show was incredibly prop heavy and as a team we created hundreds of props from rubber stunt weapons to large set decoration pieces.

While working on this project, we were tasked with making weapons and props for different tribes while staying true to the time period and materials that would have been available. One of our other main tasks in the short period of time we had on this job was to create dead animals that could be carried on the backs of hunters and move realistically.
While working in the animals my main task was doing the hair work, all of the animals were created with using a combination of electrostatic flocking, Fur patterning, hair laying and hair punching.
While working on Penny Dreadful season 3 I made and assisted on a large body of props, prop weapons and other set decoration elements.
Many of the weapons used on the show required plastic and rubber copies alongside shortened blades for stunts and safety. The replica weapons were moulded, cast and painted to match the hero version.
