Member Profile
Crystel TottenhamI am a friendly, honest, helpful young New Zealand woman who is passionate about the film and television industry. I love the idea of creating a unique creative experience for viewers particularly within the Sci-Fi, Historical and Fantasy genres. I enjoy complementing the creation of a character through Art & Design especially with costume and make up detailing!
Right now my main goal is to continue to learn as much as I can about the industry most likely through running or assisting positions.
I know my way around Auckland very well from working on the TV show Spartacus as the Costume Department Runner for the past 2 years. I've learnt a lot about the TV industry from this job.
I also graduated with an A+ from South Seas Film and Television School in 2008 where I learnt the basics of costume, make up (fashion and SPFX including basic prosthetics), props and set design. I learnt how to be a set runner and studio assist, how to work on standby in a studio and on location and how an art department is run. I also have my full license and my own vehicle.
If you think I can help you with a project please let me know! I'm looking for paid work preferably but depending on the project I would be willing to work for free if I am able to add it to my portfolio!
