I've just finished working as the prosthetic designer for the character of
Nosferatu in Peter Straughan's upcoming short 'Nosferatu in Love'. We
created 50 handmade individually tailored plastic nails, 20 rubber nails, 5 sets of
ears and
Dave Felstead aided me with creating the character makeup. After spending an amazing
week shooting in the Czech Republic, I now eagerly await the release of
the film as part of Skyarts 'playhouse' season starting in April 2014.

Each nail was made with a butt-joint, so that it would break in a safe and controlled way
Nail ends stuck on, ready for sanding and trimming
