Designer: Roger Cann
Director: Tri
stram Powell
Circa: 1943
Role: Art Department Assistant Trainee (Ft2)
Achievements:    Developed a scripted prop, a briefcase bomb, to be used within SFX to create an explosion.  Researched a huge amount on 'Bouncing Bomb', including the mathematical equations behind the development of this glorious bomb (AKA: Damn Busters).  Painted the bomb and created all the hand written workings of diagrams and text within the set dressing for the Research Centre.  Created designs for childrens board games to be dressed into a Toy Shop.  Set dressed the main Police Station.

Final product.  Two rear cases are made from cardboard and ready to be used in an explosion scene, as not to destroy the hired case at the front.

Graphics / Text was printed on to fablon and stuck up, using vaseline, making it easier to strike on wrap, and leaving the original shop front intact.
