30 Years of making memories

When Jam Pictures approached me to ask me if I would design their "30 years of Making Memories" campaign for Ryobi Drills, I jumped at the chance. But with a budget of £400 and a brief of ageing two characters over 30 years, I had a challenge on my hands.

The Director wanted to see visible changes for both the mum and dad character. The budget didn't stretch to prosthetics but I did hire some wigs and some facial hair. I also used ageing latex to age both characters.

Shot on location in London, we had over 30 changes to do over 3 days. The changes had to be very quick so we used fake ponytails, hair pieces and wigs to do this.

As a hair, makeup and sfx designer, i enjoyed the challenge of creating these changes.
