Stills from the final music video.

The shoot took place in the Redwood forest of California. It was beautiful. Thank you everyone who took part - and to jonbeilin.org for most of these photos.

Screen tests for the Mud Person character.

Building the Mud Person costume from a combination of cardboard and rubber.

At this point in the design phase, I switch to color to explore how different materials – moss, bark, plants – will look on a mudperson costume.

Costume design for a lanky forest spirit, in the video this became a dirt sculpture that comes alive and stalks its creator.

Early drawings for 'The Upsetter' costumes, some inspiration from the Swamp Thing.
