Three hours, one face, zero CGI. Time-lapse of a third-degree burn build for ‘The Long Monsoon’ — laying silicone, stippling, then the painting passes that sell it on a 4K sensor. Sound on for the breakdown 🔊
Neon-soaked test polaroids. Berlin, 3am, half a roll left.
Reminder: continuity photos aren’t optional. Shoot every look, every angle, every day. The version of you at 6am call time will thank the version of you that documented everything the night before.
Throwback to the look that started a whole department for me. Still the build I’m proudest of. New work always stands on the shoulders of the first thing that scared you.
Before & after, side by side. Left: the sculpt and application. Right: hero look under set lighting. People ask why prosthetics take so long — this is why. Both clips shot on the day, no retouching.
Behind the scenes on the new music video for an artist we can't name yet. Practical rain, a custom dolly track and a lot of patience. Full film drops next week.
Ageing makeup study — 30 years added with stipple, shadow and patience. No prosthetics here, just paint and an understanding of where a face folds.
Wrapped our biggest campaign of the year for a global sportswear brand — 3 countries, 11 shoot days, one relentless crew. Here's the 30-second cut. Sound on. 🔊
Prosthetic test — silicone build, painted in three passes. Swipe for the unpainted base. The trick is never painting what you think you see; paint what the camera sees.
Unpopular opinion after 10 years on set: your kit doesn’t make you a great artist — your eyes do. Learn skin first. Learn light second. The fancy palettes come a distant third. Save this and tell a junior artist who needs to hear it. 💄
Ten years ago Halo Films was two people and a borrowed C300. Today we wrapped our 320th project. Thank you to every collaborator, client and crew member who built this with us. The best is still ahead. 🎬

Audition tape for Halo Films — first slate. Two takes, one breath each.
Backstage at Lakmé Fashion Week — 14 faces in 90 minutes. Speed is a skill you build one runway at a time. Quick reel of the chaos that somehow becomes a show.
Creature reveal from ‘Nightshift’ S2. Sculpted over six weeks, applied in five hours, on screen for ninety seconds — and worth every minute. Reel of the final look in motion.
Bridal, but make it editorial. Soft sculpt, luminous base, and a veil that did half the work for me. One of my favourite faces this season.
Cover day for Vogue India. Clean beauty, glass skin, and a single bold lip — proof that ‘less’ still takes four hours and a very steady hand. Stills from the set, lighting by the wonderful crew.
BTS from the Eusexua campaign — pushing the Alexa Mini to its grain ceiling. Watch with sound 🔊
Pitch deck week. Reminder: the logline is the trailer. If it doesn't sell in 14 words, the script won't either.
Shipped: a 24-track ADR session for 'Nocturne' Ep.1. Mixing notes in the thread ↓
Proud to share that our short-form doc for a climate non-profit just picked up a bronze at the awards. Mission-led work is the work we're proudest of. Congrats to the whole team.
Case study: how we delivered a 6-film branded series in 4 weeks without burning out the team. Pre-light days, a tight pre-pro bible and one shared edit timeline. Read the full breakdown on our page.
Wrapped: keyed the makeup department on a six-episode streaming series. 40 background characters, 4 creatures, one very tired but very happy team. Grateful for every one of them ↓
