Hi I’m Danni and I am a designer and fabricator of costumes, props and Special Effects. I am a huge fan of fantasy and Sci-Fi genres in different forms; from books to video games, I love them all, and find them a great inspiration in my work. Over the years I have managed to experiment with and develop a variety of skills to help me on my way through my career. I love to learn new skills and find anything crafty or “hands on” of great interest to me. A lot of my work is mixed media so having these skills is a great help when designing new products.
Since a young age I have always loved playing dress up, not as princesses or anything along those lines but more of characters I saw in films or in books; warriors, archers, witches and wizards. I ended up making a bit of a hobby out of it and in my spare time, would spend hours trying to figure out how a particular costume was made, and find the materials to make it myself. My first great inspiration to want to do this as a career for came when I watched the behind the scenes for The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The fact that there was a possibility to do what I love as a living inspired me to learn as much as I can about the film industry.
I decided to seek further education to build up skills to advance my career. I went to Leeds College of Art and earned a BTEC ND in Graphic Design which taught me all about the design process and image manipulation. I furthered my education by attending the University of Bolton to do a course on Special effects development. This course enhanced my skills to work within the film industry and I gained valuable knowledge on Practical Effects.
I continue to work towards the goal of being part of a team in film production, by broadening my portfolio with my work as an artist. I began Allied Aliens in 2017 working from home, producing all sorts of weird and wonderful things in a workspace I made in the cellar. As projects got bigger it was apparent that a bigger workspace would be needed. Myself and my Partner Leon Williamson, who owns Bionic Cat Blacksmiths, decided to source out a workspace we could share to develop both of our business’s.
