George Miller took a break from the project to make some other films, and some time later things started ramping up again. Unfortunately just a couple of days before I was due to leave (and I’d had a big party!) the project was postponed for various economic and logistical reasons. I’d even sent out a container of my tools in advance.


The Namibia workshop had already started, and I was due to go out there to start working on the project. This is the second movie for which I have been approached to run a panel shop, and to be doing it in Africa was really cool.Īt that stage, the plan was to build everything in Africa, close to where filming would take place. I was approached in 2002 by Colin Gibson, the Fury Road production designer when the first pre-production builds were due to start in Namibia. How did you get involved in building the Fury Road vehicles?
