One of the most demanding jobs I have ever done premiered in March 2005
after I spent more than 4 months working full time on it to get everything
ready.
|

I did three gargoyles in ordinary slush latex in HUGE plaster moulds. Afterwards
I wished I had decided on some other material as I cracked my back handling the
70 kilo mould and was limping around for week.
|

I also did the body under structure for two of them in foam.
|
|

"Lumiere" is of course an important character in the musical. I did the head
piece and hands with reinforced latex
|

We faced quite a lot of problems with his hearing but luckily I could cut a
slit under the "drop" on the sides so he could hear again.
|

M. Darque was a big challenge as I only had 6 minutes to get him ready. An
old time horror film trick came in handy and I pulled his eye down with a
thin strip of lace.
