PROJECT | CF1 Cyf | Undertaking Betty

Artem were approached by CF1 Cyf to design a variety of rigs and special effects to bring the plot to life in 'Undertaking Betty' - starring Lee Evans, Christopher Walken and Brenda Blethyn.

The tale of funeral rivalry in Wales required a variety of rigs including one to raise a coffin and another to make a bed lurch in a scary ghostlike way.

Most of the effects revolved around a scene in which Robert Pugh is to be scared out of his wits by the ghostly apperarance of his supposedly dead wife (Brenda Blethyn).

"There we are in a stately home, worth more money than the budget of the film, when the Director NICK HURRAN asks if we can send a fireball down a period staircase. I said NO WAY but ARTEM said "Easy" and we did.....And it was! Pros make life easier."
David Ball, Co-Producer, Undertaking Betty
