VR toy fabricator, practical effects, producer

Ben created the combination vr headset and “flesh light” sex toy. He designed the headset on Fusion 360, had it 3D printed in PLA plastic, and gave it a metallic paint job and leather harness. He made a colorful facade to place over the 3d printer. He worked with VFX Supervisor Ronnie Barnett to create the effect of the dog dragging Luke through the burning house. He used a chroma key green belt to drag Luke with the dog and hazers to help build the effect of the burning house. He used monofilament to rig the sex toy in an erect position on Luke’s body while he was laying down. Ben produced the short film.
