Multiple sets created for the Houseparty social media campaign.

Designed and built a Jack Kirby-esque command center for the main cast of the newest Thor movie directed by Taika Waititi. Light panel made with Nanoleaf Aurora.

Beautiful shots taken by Tamar Levine.

Another collaboration with my good friend Melissa Cripe. This photobooth was set up in Denver's Adams County Fairgrounds for the Oath/Yahooo tech conference.

Synopsis: In the early 1800's, a Native American (Gabrielino/Tongva) woman, Isadora, faces a battle to survive after escaping from the abusive California mission where she was raised. She's joined by a sympathetic Franciscan defector, Domingo, on their journey back to a village that's in revolt against the Spanish.

Had the pleasure of serving as lead prop maker for this period piece. “Neemkomok” has been in the official selections of The San Diego International Film Festival,  The Denver Film Festival, and the American Indian Film Festival. 

Had the pleasure of collaborating with some of my good friends, Nevan Orr, Cambria Guevara, and Auberi Zwickel for an amazing weekend of art and music. Bands featured PRIMUS, POND, The Black Angels, Washed Out, Fever The Ghost and TEMPLES.

"This short film is a visual metaphor of the frustrating struggle to reconnect with one's inner child. It’s a moment in time. A decision to pause and take a step outside oneself for a simple, honest connection. This roughly five minute story takes place in a mysterious, nearly empty room with one little girl and a vintage toy claw machine. The story relies less on plot based actions, than it does on the human experience; those fleeting moments that can last longer than what appears on the surface. "

- Melissa Cripe

Got a real kick out of bringing this concept to life with a group of old friends. Nothing but good times.

: In geometry, an n-sided antiprism is a polyhedron composed of two parallel copies of some particular n-sided polygon, connected by an alternating band of triangles.

There are an infinite set of truncated antiprisms, including a lower-symmetry form of the truncated octahedron (truncated triangular antiprism). These can be alternated to create snub antiprisms, two of which are Johnson solids, and the snub triangular antiprism is a lower symmetry form of the icosahedron.

This modern solid was displayed at the Ace Hotel in DTLA and Desert Daze 2016

Collaborated with my friend Joe Holliday to build several puzzle/props fitting an Arthurian medieval theme. Each piece unlocks a path to the next.

LA SIRENA is a psychosexual fairy tale about Mia, a woman in a small fishing village who is having an affair with a married fisherman. But when a mysterious woman gets washed up on shore, naked and with a hook lodged between her ribcage, Mia is forced to face not only her destructive relationship, but her own inner monster as well.

Fate had it a friend from high school got her first opportunity as a line producer, offering me my first invitation to work on a professional film. Having come from a background in residential carpentry I though this would be a walk in the park… but learning the dynamics of set life while dealing with the lead construction coordinator walking off two days in was a great opportunity to prove myself.

Props built:

17th century fishing hut

cabinets

tables

bed

harpoon

hammock

lantern fixtures

prop/hero knives 

I like cardboard.

Rainbow fabrication. Cardboard.

Handbag website photo shoot.

Building something classic, simple, and functional can let the mind settle into a good groove. Here are some of the Gazebo's I worked on, both residential and commercial.

If you desire a gazebo such as this contact me or Mr. Damewood @ Gazebo One
