The production of around 500 pairs of hands to display shoes for the brand Camper.

Starting from a life cast of four different positions, followed by the finishing of each master copy and production of a mould for each. Then the casting out of hundreds of hands that then had to be filled, sanded and sprayed, put on bases and packed. This was a mammoth production line job in the famous Pinewood Studios.

This job was rather straight forward in theory but in practice was far from the truth. The moulds deteriorated quicker than expected leaving a vast amount of sanding and filling in order to clean the hands up. That added to the re pouring of the silicon, the many stages of painting, the ample air holes that occurred during casting and the whole basing and packing meant that we were up against it after the first week!

Still, we got them finished. Just.
