Please join me as I chat with Simon Graham and Richard McEvoy-Crompton as we discuss the Monster Charity project. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicholas Vince Newsletter sign up: bit.ly/2hUKxjt --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 of the UK's top prop-making, sculpting and SPFX make-up artists have come together for a unique charity project. Each artist has been given a bespoke Frankenstein-inspired monster bust, created and supplied by SVFX University of Bolton Special & Visual Effects team, with the simple instruction: Customise him into any design you like. The Monster Charity Project organisers will auction them off via an online auction site. 100% of the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish UK. All the artists and the back room project crew donate their time and skills totally free of charge.
