The Mummy: Art Department

Says Martin Macrae, Head of the Art Department, 'We were lucky to be involved in the early development for Universal's "Dark Universe." The clients were exploring new ideas for some of their most iconic monsters, the Mummy being one of these. In addition to the work we did on Ahmanet, we also helped visualise dynamic beats to help them flesh out a few key sequences from the film.'
