Beauty and the Beast

February - March 2015

Martin worked on early prototype stilts for the Beast's creature suit, part of the animatronic R&D for Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast in 2015.

Creature FX Supervision - Dave and Louise Elsey

Animatronics Model Designer

Early prototyping work on stilts for the original conceptual creature suit/prosthetic design of the beast. The beast would require platforms to raise the actors' height and alter his posture for scenes including dancing, running whilst also allowing good balance at rest.
