Noel Fieldings Luxury Comdey Props

After applying to make props with CBeebies, I was thinking about other shows that would use props and that I could look into helping out with/finding jobs for. I remembered Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy - this has a VERY DIFFERENT target audience to that of Cbeebies and my own work, but I enjoy it as a show and it features wacky, illustrative props so I wanted to find out more about who made them. This show is filled with glitter, bright colours and whimsical themes so it is heavily prop and costume-based. It's something you don't think about when you're watching but now I can't stop wondering when I see these things: how was that made? Who made it?

I found this: http://www.richiemartin.com/noel-fieldings-luxury-comedy/
Richard Martin made the props for E4's Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. He is a model maker based in East London. Really interesting to find his blog and see his process of making the props from idea to solution.


Since I enjoy blogging and there is so much about the process of making that goes unnoticed, perhaps I could use a blog to document my process, thoughts and development too. 

Richard Martin mentions a few other artists who were involved with the process, such as make-up artists, but it seems as though for this project he was the prop maker and all the props were made by him. It seems a big task and maybe he needs some extra hands just to help with a few things... perhaps I could ask if he ever needs an assistant?
