These big heads were made at the Beat Carnival last year for the Giant's Causeway visitor centre. I made Finn McCool, his wife Una. Stephen Bamford made Benandonner, the Scottish Giant. Legend has it
Finn McCool and the Scot's feud and stone throwing formed the Giant's Causeway!
I had great fun making Finn and Una! Referring to stills from a promotional video the faces finally took shape. The character heads have to be durable as well comfortable for the performer to wear so lots of things need to be taken into consideration in the design and making process. The costumes really finish the character and it was great to see them at the causeway in the proper setting for the story.
