It was a huge honour to be invited to join the crew of this extraordinary movie. Working with Prop Master Doug Harlocker and Production Design Patrice Vermette I spent six months concepting and 3D modelling for fabrication a wide range of props. I’ll post up the work as soon as I have permission, in the meantime here’s a few stills from a small selection of the many I worked on. First up, the mounted Ornithopter gun:

For the extraordinary Harkonnen arena scenes on Giedi Prime, I designed Feyd-rautha’s shield device, Baron Harkonnen’s spice pipe, the spectators’ monocular and the picador spears.

The Shigawire recording device used by Princess Irulan was a really fun prop I also contributed too. Several artists worked on ideas for this one and the final design contains elements of all our work.

I worked on a variety of props for the Fremen including these expandable bottles and water-extraction devices used to collect water from dead bodies.

I had the huge honour of designing Christopher Walken’s knife and scabbard, used by Feyd-Rautha in the big final fight scene with Paul Atreides. Here is Austin Butler removing it from the intricate scabbard.

That’s all for now, I’ll post the original concept work and all the many others if I can get permission at some point.
