Aspiring Artists Learn Techniques From Hollywood Sculptor At TCC

David Reed James's work has appeared in dozens of movies from Black Panther and Jurassic World to Pirates of the Caribbean and Kong: Skull Island.

"I work with styrofoam almost exclusively. make you know what ever is needed. sometimes it can be as large as a football field sometimes it is a little weapon that somebody's holding," said James.

James says persistence is key for artists hoping to make it in the film industry. During the production of a film, a sculptor plans and creates sculpted environments, models, and props.
