WING COMMANDER III - Creature Characters

WING COMMANDER III
My company, PRECISION EFFECTS, LTD, was hired by ORIGIN SYSTEMS to create the Kilrathi creature suits and some costumes for the WING COMMANDER III video game.  Below are photographs of some of the process of making the creature suits, some on-set photographs, taken during the production, and the scenes, as they appear in the game.  

On a personal note, I was thrilled beyond measure to get to work with one of my favorite actors, Mark Hammil.  It was Star Wars that inspired me to peruse my career in Special Effects, and having the opportunity to work with him, while wearing a creature suit that MY special effects company made for a production he starred in, just brought things full circle for me!  Mark Hammil was the most gracious, professional, and selfless actor i have worked with.  
MARK HAMIL AND ME

In the next 5 clips, I play Hobbs, his best friend.
In this next clip, I play Prince Thrakath, his mortal enemy.  

SPOILER ALERT:  I KILL MARK HAMIL, with a warrior's death!
