This is Ezekiel, and he is about to discover the wonders of internet pornography. He will appear in my showreel browsing the internet, stumble upon something his innocent Amish eyes are not quite so accustomed to, and react accordingly.
In order to make his classic Amish outfit I did a bit of research and found out that their shirts never have buttons all the way down (if any, some communities prefer simpler fastenings), it's to remove temptation to open them in hot weather apparently. There was something about their hats never having a brim wider than 6 inches to keep themselves humble, and they never wear patterns on their clothing to avoid expressing their individuality, which is forbidden. So if you ever see an Amish man with a massive hat brim and a stripy open shirt just remember that even his fellow Amish think he looks like a twat.
Ezekiel will also appear in a short shot with the sloth, I like to imagine them as drinking buddies...
This is the chair he will be sat on, it's made out of kebab skewers, Milliput and plasticine, one of the skewers will go up through the seat and into his arse, which will hold him onto the chair.
The computer is made out of air dry clay then covered in plasticine, it has a hole in the front which a torch will slide into, creating the lighting effect for the monitor.
Lighting test, the torch has a filter over it so it's not too bright.
It should also be noted that only married Amish men have beards, so he'd better watch out for Mrs Ezekiel, she won't like what he's looking at, the filthy bugger...
