Take a look behind the scenes to see how we made the voodoo doll(s) for our short film Black Magic For Young Lovers.

The film sees Sam and Edith, on a trip to a remote cottage, joined by a third little guest. The script called for our voodoo doll to be hacked to bits so in reality they were joined by about a dozen dolls in various states of distress.

Here is, in pictures, the full build process for each Black Magic voodoo doll…before we hacked them all to bits:
