Ex Woodcroft pupil, Bryn Court, talks about his film creations.
Today we were visited by Bryn Court, an ex Woodcroft pupil who is now a renowned Hollywood movie sculptor and set designer. Bryn was the Head Sculptor for the Harry Potter series of movies, but has also worked on many other famous films from Braveheart to James Bond. He brought along two house elves from Harry Potter. I am sure you all remember ‘Dobby’ from the films…guess who created him?
Bryn talked to the school in a special assembly. He told us all about his time as a pupil at Woodcroft, and how he dreamed of becoming an artist. He described how he worked hard at school so that he could go to college to study art. After college Bryn then started helping out at a film studio to learn from others around him. He has now worked on many films and also helped create the Harry Potter theme parks in Orlando and Japan. Bryn has just finished making a lifesize fire breathing dragon at Universal Studio’s new Wizarding World; check out this video clip below …
Bryn was also crafted the Dark Knight sculptures for the Batman movies. Visit his website to see all of his fantastic work. http://moviesculptor.com/
