Dino De Laurentis Company (1992) / Director: Sam Raimi / Effects: KNB
As a puppeteer and lab tech working for KNB EFX, I helped with the fabrication of several elements for Army of Darkness. Here one of KNB's iconic puppets wears one of my armor pieces.
In addition to puppeteering, I was tasked with dreaming up and building armor, weapons, and instruments for the Army of the Dead. I made three puppets into undead Scotsmen and gave them these bagpipes, which would inflate/deflate when the puppeteer blew into them from below.
