Confection

  • Becky Weston
For the short film Confection, based around a teenage boy's work experience at a chocolate company, I designed four chocolates with the light, quirky tone and seaside setting of the script in mind and made fifty of each to line the shelves and surfaces of the chocolate kitchen. I combined Fimo with real ingredients - Hundreds and Thousands and cocoa powder - on a couple of these designs to make them look even more edible.

I also designed and built personalised chocolate boxes for the characters and sculpted some action props -a Blu-Tack hamburger, hot dog and carton of french fries- for a character whose main classroom preoccupation is making Blu-Tack fast food.

I assisted the art director on set, helping to dress the classroom and chocolate kitchen, re-set props after each take and provide art work for the character.
