Other Projects
Blood Knife for a production of Hamlet
THE RESULT: A CAD modeled and 3D printed two-part box cutter with pressable side panels that would compress a small internal blood pack squeezing blood through tubing and out of the tip of the blade where it can be dragged into a line to create the effect of a cut.
IN THE SHOW: Two characters make a blood pact on stage by cutting their hands and shaking on it using a box cutter.
THE CHALLENGE: Make a realistic looking box cutter that had the ability to seemingly cut an actor's hand without putting them in danger.

IN THE SHOW: Gargoyles on Notre Dame speak and interact with characters.
THE CHALLENGE: Make masks for actors to be able to quick change into Gargoyles .
