MONSTER ISLAND

In 2023 I got to create the legendary ORANG IKAN, a cryptid from Indonesia in the vein of "Creature from the Black Lagoon, for Mike Wiluan’s MONSTER ISLAND. With a small team we built the creature in Burbank, CA and then traveled to jungle locations in Indonesia for a month-long shoot.

Creating the crocodile.
The mechanical underskull built to fit over the performer's head, and under creature skin.
The jaw is sculpted like venetian blinds to open and close neatly.
