A Mock-up Film poster for My ‘The Witch Trials’ project- a drowned witch for a Film/TV context. Set between the Salem & European Witch trials. 🧙🏼♀️
The idea behind the title ‘Swimming A witch’: this was the concept name behind the drowning of a witch during a trial. They would do this to see if they would sink or float. If they sank they were innocent but often already dead, and if by some chance they ‘floated’ they would be killed regardless for participating in witchcraft.
I am so happy with how this turned out! Thank you to all of my collaborators you were all amazing! Go check out their awesome work! Thank you to

I made two silicone swollen cheek prosthetics (squish moulds) as well as two swollen eye flat pieces. I then used alcohol paints and eyeshadow to colour this look. I used hair gel to achieve the hairstyle as well as grips. To finish off the look I sprayed a glycerin:water mix to achieve this wet, slimy appearance.
