The Works of Sculptor Brian Muir

By Benjamin Lind on January 16, 2013

Thanks to my affiliated site The Goldeneye Dossier, I got directed to the website of Brian Muir today

Brian Muir is a sculptor who has been working in the film industry since 1968. He served a 4 year  apprenticeship at Associated British Picture Corporation – now known as Elstree Studios. He also owned and ran his own sculptural company – Elstree Design and Construction – for 10 years.
 Muir can be credited with some of the most amazing sculpture work on legendary films such as “Indiana Jones”, “Star Wars”, “Alien”, “Willow”, “Harry Potter” or “Sleepy Hollow”. He also worked on 8 Bond films between 1977 and 2012 which you will now see below.
