BBC-The Wrong Door: Xotang


Xotang, the Giant robot had already been designed, and a basic block model for animatics had already been made, so i took that and rebuilt it as a high Rez model. I would have liked to do a lot more to Xotang, but the time constraints of working on a tv show resticted how much time i could spend on him.

BBC-The Wrong Door: Annoying Creature


The script for this sketch called for a creature that was quite childlike, and very very annoying. The Director gave me some rough sketches and indicated that he wanted something that was almost a cross between ET and Gollum. In the show, he is indeed very annoying.

BBC-The Wrong Door: Smutty Aliens spaceship


The script called for a space ship for the Smutty aliens, but the director had no idea what it should look like other than 'rude'! I wanted to come up with something that both fitted the brief, but also looked like it could be an (almost) functioning spaceship..

BBC-The Wrong Door: Smutty Aliens spaceship interior


The director wanted the interior of the ship to look very modern and 'Mac' influenced, but with influences of the smutty aliens culture, hence the unusual controls! The chair in the centre of the cockpit would later be replaced with a live action plate, previously shot with an actress.

BBC-The Wrong Door: Smutty Aliens


I was given the script which called just for 'smutty aliens' and a brief idea of what they should look like (rude!) and some very rough sketches from the director. I think what i came up with is suitably unpleasant!
