this is my usual Bio..DAVE ELSEY (Creature Makeup Supervisor)From creating fantastical creatures in the television series Farscape to plant-wrangling skills in The Little Shop of Horrors, Creature Shop Creative Supervisor Dave Elsey has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to create memorable characters using make up and animatronics for the last twenty years.Elsey's resume reads like a cult-film dream list. He created creature effects in Alien 3; worked as a special makeup-effects artist on Hellraiser, Mission: Impossible, M:I 2, and Indiana Jones and the last Crusade, and honed his animatronics skills in the cult classic of The Little Shop of Horrors. He is perhaps most well known by genre fans for his role as the creative supervisor on the sci-fi TV series "Farscape," for which he designed and maintained up to 600 different creatures.For his role as the Creature Shop Supervisor for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, Elsey and his team were responsible for bringing to life all of the animatronics, prosthetic creatures and characters Dave was at the forefront of the Creature Shop team responsible for such Episode III creations as the Wookiees, the Utapauns, charred Anakin Skywalker, and the twisted Emperor Palpatine.Since then Dave has worked on the movie Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage, and collaborated with Richard Taylor of Weta Workshop in New Zealand on an independent film entitled Black Sheep.Most recently Dave was the Co creature supervisor as well as creating the additional creatures for Spike Jonzeâ€™s Where The wild Things Are.For the work Dave Elsey created on Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated him for Oscar for Achievement in Makeup for the 78th Academy Awards.DAVE ELSEY Creature and Make Up Effects Supervisor EMAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: www.imagecreative.net
