Summary
Hi! I'm Nathanael, and I have just finished working as a Prop Maker in the Props Department for Season 2 of Legendary Pictures MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS (set within the Godzilla/King Kong "Monsterverse"). I have also worked as a Scenic Artist & Set Finisher for the Australian zombie horror film THE RED, a Scenic Artist for the NBC Universal/Stan series JOE VS. CAROLE (Tiger King). Before that I worked as a Prop Maker & Art Assist & Challenge Tester in the Art Department and Challenge Department for Season 6 of SURVIVOR AUSTRALIA in the Queensland Outback! In 2020 I completed a post-grad Honours in Animation (Art Direction) at Griffith University, Queensland College of Art. For my post-grad research project I wrote a paper on "why prop-making matters", and designed and fabricated 3 giant weapon props! I enjoy making all kinds of artwork, props, and designs for my clients. I have over 15 years experience as a Graphic Designer and Metal Worker & Fabricator. I love collaborating with fun and creative people!
