Film Work

I've been busy working on a pretty big project for the past few weeks and haven't had anything good to put in the blog, so here's some past work!

 Here is one of the many belt buckles I made for a guy who was starting a small business on hand made belts. I sold him about 30 buckles just like this one. At some point he sold the buckles individually on his website (with credit given, as well as a %150 markup [to be fair he had to pay shipping and import taxes.)]  Some of these belt buckles were bought by a costume company that contacted him to arrange to get some of a different size. He forwarded me their email and we started talking about what they would need.

I first thought it would be for a play or a low budget company film. At some point it came out that the company was making costumes for a Vin Diesel movie! Needless to say, I was shocked. But they told me what they wanted and we hammered out the details (pun intended). I made them a nice stock of 10 smaller buckles like the ones to the right. They were very happy with them and used them all over the place and had to order 10 more. I sold these for $25(US) each. I had been selling the larger ones for less before I realized how much I was undercutting myself.

After a few weeks they realized that they needed more of the big buckles and were having trouble getting duplicates of some items which they ordered from a blacksmith in Europe. They sent me a few pictures and measurements and I got to work. The pictures will speak for themselves.

Thanks for looking! I'll be posting more soon. I have a pretty cool project to show you and when I get time I'll remake some of these items with a tutorial to go with it.
