Artem's brief was to design and build a Father and Son alien couple - not too friendly, but also not too scary!  

Artist impressions were put forward for initial approval from the production company in Germany and the main client in the US.  A rough clay model was then produced to bring out the 3 dimensional qualities of the character.  The final pair were an intricate series of animatronic mechanisms and puppeteered mechanics, giving the subtle control needed to achieve a great performance.

Artem MD Mike Kelt said; "This was an interesting and challenging project, which set out to achieve something for a fraction of the normal budget within a very tight deadline.’
