The Challenge

Gumption Squad, a creative storytelling company, needed a distinctive and durable costume prop for their latest performance. The prop had to be lightweight for comfort, detailed for visibility on stage, and securely integrated into the costume. They initially brought us concept sketches but were undecided on the final design, requiring input and refinement to align with their storytelling themes.

 

The Solution

To bring their vision to life, we researched mythical creature inspirations and refined the design into a modern Griffin before transforming the sketches into a high-detail CAD model optimised for 3D printing. The Griffin was produced using SLA technology to achieve fine detail while maintaining a lightweight structure. After printing, it was hand-finished to enhance texture and visual depth, then tested for durability and securely attached to the costume, ensuring a comfortable and reliable fit for the performer.

 

The Results

  • Delivered a lightweight yet durable prop suitable for live performance.

  • Achieved a visually striking Griffin that enhanced storytelling impact on stage.

  • Created a custom, performer-friendly solution that integrated seamlessly into the costume.

  • Helped Gumption Squad bring their creative vision to life, elevating the overall audience experience.
