A
year ago, I was approached by the very talented photographer /director
Matt Barnes from Westside Studio about a very exciting project for The
Sheepdog’s new music video "Feeling Good". I was asked to recreate the
band members from The Sheepdogs and their individual likeness as dolls.
The goal was to make them as realistic as possible so they can be in
their own video in live action through their doppelganger miniatures.
Every little detail from skin, to hair and facial hair was carefully
crafted and painted by hand. It was the most exciting thing to see the
dolls come to life through stop-motion to actually see my work on
television. It was very surreal experience and not one that I ever
pictured myself having so early in my art career.
This
year, The Sheepdogs music video 'Feeling Good' won Video of the Year at
the 2014 Juno Awards. I'm so thrilled to have been apart of a wonderful
creative project that got such high recognition. It's all about putting
the right group of creative people together and making magic happen.
The Sheepdogs and Matt Barnes didn't make it to the Juno Awards to accept the award. I totally could've been there to accept it. |
The sculpts completed. They were ready to get dress and shoot that video. |
