Dido "End of Night" Music Video.

Back in April I had the pleasure of working with the amazing team involved with bringing Dido's single "End of Night" to life. Directed by the creative wonders Debbie Scanlan and Liz Adams of De La Muerte Films and produced by Callum Gordon, part of the ever expanding and just all round awesome, Burning Reel Productions. 

I was asked to design the make up for the dancers and supporting talent that are featured heavily throughout the video. Pulling inspiration from Matthew  Bourne's swan lake we wanted the dancers to blend in with their surroundings, complimenting the amazing décor of the location and Dido's styling. Kryolan Aqua Paints were applied to the face and body to create soft contours and give the the dancers' bodies some dimension while they moved. Fullers Earth was used through the hair and over the body to give the worn/stone effect, I think it turned out pretty good.

For the supporting talent I was asked last minute to create a skull on one half his face. Again, using the Kryolan Aqua paints I was able to achieved a pretty cool piece of work, with the help of my 1st assistant Sophie Moore we got the job done in a rather strict time constraint.

Thank you so much to my wonderful assistants, it was so much fun working with you. I couldn't have done it without you all!!!
