The incomparable paddy_considine as King Viserys Targaryen for @houseofthedragonhbo

This was such a wonderful character to help develop and tell the passage of time and deterioration over the years, through a combination of our practical makeup and digital effects, courtesy of the super talented @angusbickerton and his team.

Not only were we lucky to team up with amazing Makeup Designer @amandaknightmonger to complete the look, but our task was made all the more easier thanks to Paddy’s great humour and endless patience.
He was a legend.

Big shout out to @hannahecclestonhmu @emmafaulkes and @dunxjar for their incredible contributions and all our BGFX team.

The wonderful Sandra Hüller wearing a subtle ageing makeup we created for her character Eva Stratt in @projecthailmary
We were super lucky to receive a call from brilliant Makeup & Hair Designer @candicebanksmua to help her age Sandra several years.
The makeup consisted of 10 appliances, a bridge of nose, crows feet, eye bags, upper and lower lip pieces and a subtle neck wattle.
The makeup@was sculpted by @dunxjar and applied by Duncan and @chloemp_mua
It was a wonderful opportunity to work on such an incredible project with lovely people!
Big thanks to our BGFX team for all their hard work.

A cordyceps riddled silicone head pre artwork for TLOU2.
I think this sculpt was a combo of @pattfoad and myself.

Grow your own fungal fun!
During our build on the 2nd season of @thelastofus we grew a bunch of different mushrooms and recorded their growth from young, small fungi, to ripe and full, all the way to rotting, putrid and finally decayed and mouldy.

We scanned them at different times so we could manipulate the digital files and 3D print to incorporate in to some of our environments.
It proved super valuable and a great use of real forms and textures with traditional sculpture.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
