Dani & Edmund’s engagement party from Episode 4 of The Haunting Of Bly Manor. The goal here was to create a sense of over-arching claustrophobic and unfulfillable expectation. The greatest challenge was to create Dani and Edmund’s life in photos, spanning several decades.

From Supergirl Season 4. For this set, we took an existing cabin and added the classic elements of a Siberian Dacha. The “kid’s playtime” dressing came directly from my own experience raising some energetic and imaginative boys. #Supergirl

The only playmate for a lonely boy with super powers hidden in the Siberian forest.

About the time we were creating Lex’s War Suit, I began playing around with ideas for other armoured characters. The concept didn’t work with the storyline, but I liked the image, so I created some zinc plate etchings.

On the scripted page, there’s a powerful layering of imagery and a blurring visual boundaries during the Gallows Hill scene. What we think is real is only pretend and what we discover to be real in this world is fantasy in our own.

With show runner Eliot Laurence and director Steven Adelson, the art department was determined to give this scene the visual impact it demanded. In order to achieve this, we drew on theatre imagery from the 18th century, specifically the street spectacles of France and Italy. This was a world of flickering floor lights and painted canvas, where great crimes and great deeds were both on the playbill. The “hand pained” curtain and backdrop were in fact created digitally by the brilliant Jonathan Stamp and then printed onto commercial sign canvas.
