Old Age Body Prosthetic

„Knabe Mix“ advertising campaign with HandOfBlood – Instinct3

For the „Knabe Mix“ advertising campaign, I was commissioned by the influencer marketing agency Instinct3 to develop a custom old age body prosthetic for Maximilian Knabe (HandOfBlood). The goal was to transform him into the character of „President Knabe“ through a believable ageing effect. From lifecasting and character design through sculpting, mould making and fabrication to on-set support, a fully bespoke body prosthetic was created for high-resolution advertising footage.

Production with HandOfBlood – Instinct3

For a production by the influencer-marketing agency Instinct3, I developed a bespoke silicone nose prosthetic for Maximilian Knabe (HandOfBlood) within a tight time frame. The goal was to create a believable dwarf character that conveyed the classic fantasy look while preserving the actor's strong recognisability.

Alien Prosthetic Application for ZDF Streamergarten

For the production ZDF Streamergarten, I handled the application of a multi-part alien prosthetic as well as on-set support throughout the shoot. The goal was to transform the performer into a believable alien character using a professional foam-latex prosthetic and to maintain the effect reliably throughout the entire production.
