During my time in the paint department at Wētā Workshop, I worked across a range of film and collectible projects, specialising in costume and prop finishes. I also painted rocks, walls, dinosaurs, bees, teeth, and plants — pretty much anything plastic that needed to not look plastic. My work involved airbrushing, spray finishing, and surface treatment, supported by a solid understanding of materials, techniques, and the visual precision required at every stage of production.
