MacGyver Products and Props

As one might imagine, Macgyver, Season 4 was absolutely loaded with fictional products that needed custom skins. Here’s a selection of some of them.

Newspapers – various

Over the years I’ve done loads of news papers and inserts for various shows. As we move into the modern world, newspapers have become less and less frequent, but for vintage or period pieces, newspapers are ubiquitous.

Sleepy Hollow Map

A Vintage-style map of the Town of Sleepy Hollow for the second season of Sleepy Hollow. Used as a foundation for a model as well as for set decoration and reference throughout the show. Had hundreds of buildings for detail and texture.

Here’s the final Map:

Original map size was larger as pictured below:

Fictional Book Covers

Here are an assortment of Fictional Book covers I made for various shows. Some were Props, Some were background for Set Dec.

Mr. Friendly’s Frosteeez

For Mr Mercedes we had to design a creepy ice cream truck for one of our characters. I got to design a mascot and layout all the different brands and types of ice cream, many of which were real, some were original.

Vehicles Skins – Various

Here’s a bunch of vehicle skins that I made for various shows. There are loads more, but there are some interesting ones in here.

The Mysterious Island Map

Here was a piece I was particularly proud of. A map design that I pitched for “The Mysterious Island” wherein three different maps were combined to make one single map. It was my idea to have all three maps use the compass rose as the fulcrum and then the strokes and letters would align to form one single map. It ended up being featured heavily, and even made the trailer and credits!

Book of Enoch Pages

The mystical sword that can defeat Moloch is described in the book of Enoch, depicted with flames emerging.

Photo Compositing – Misc

Here’s an assortment of photo composites that I’ve made for various shows. Some for Set Dec and some for inserts. They reflect a range of techniques and processes. There’s multiple old photos we had to match to different backgrounds, new photography to blend into old photos, and taking original photos and manipulating them in various ways to achieve story points.

There’s finesse, artistic knowledge and creativity in putting these together. They definitely need planning to make work right, but can be done successfully.

Food and Product Labels

I’ve done loads of food and product labels throughout my work. Here’s a random assortment to show the variety and uniqueness. Some we’ve made complete boxes for, some were just printed and stuck on existing product.
