Welcome to another portfolio post! Today, I would like to go step by step with the process I took when I upcycled a black thrift-store helmet into a grey one. This was a project I took on as part of my production design duties for Andy Young’s short, Crime of the Century.
Andy needed a nice grey helmet that could pass for a mountain climber’s for a brief shot of a character. Since this was a self produced endeavor, we had a tiny budget. However, a little cleverness and creativity made it an easy enough task. It helps that Andy is such a great guy and director!
So, Let’s begin the process!
