For this commercial we built a 2.5 meter high afro. The afro was rigged to allow the talent to walk whilst wearing it. To achieve this we suspended the rig off cranes with bungee.
 
The wig rig was constructed entirely of aluminium to keep it as light as possible.
 
Once the core was complete it was time to attach the hair.
 
For static shots the wig was suspended directly from a crane.
 
Final checks.
 
The bungee was attached to a linear rig for walking shots.
 
You can’t stand too close to someone when their hair is this big.
