B2B Consulting and Creative Sector

Is this service for you?

• → You are producing or directing an audiovisual production — documentary, fiction, animation — in which phasmids appear
• → You work in illustration, sculpture or design and need morphological and scientific accuracy in your work
• → You manage content for a brand, institution or media outlet and want to ensure that what you publish about phasmids is correct
• → You need verified technical content for an exhibition, field guide or educational material

What the consultancy includes

• → Validation of behaviour, morphology, habitat and nomenclature by a specialist
• → Review before the error reaches the public — when it is still easy and cheap to correct
• → Concrete deliverables according to the project: technical reports, species data sheets, annotations
• → Flexible format: remote work for material review, travel for on-set supervision

When errors have real consequences

Sometimes specialised knowledge is needed as a tool, not as a final product. A production company filming a documentary about neotropical rainforest, a sculptor working on a series of scientifically precise insects, a brand that needs to verify that what it publishes about phasmids is correct — all of them need the same thing: someone who genuinely knows.

A misidentification or a biologically impossible behaviour in a production with millions of viewers has real consequences for that production's credibility. Inaccurate morphology in a sculpture for a natural museum is not a minor detail either.

Pre-production Consultancy

Review of scripts, storyboards and artistic concepts to verify the behaviour, habitat and morphology of the species represented. I identify errors before they enter production, which is when they are easiest and cheapest to correct.

On-Set and VFX Supervision

I collaborate with visual effects departments and directors of photography so that the movement and reactions of phasmids are anatomically correct. From the way they walk to their defensive postures.

Rigour for Documentaries

Technical basis for natural history productions: biological cycles, defence strategies, ecology, updated nomenclature. Both for the script and for captions and press material.

• → Script review and annotation with technical corrections
• → Biological rigour report for the art and VFX department
• → On-set supervision or remote session with the effects team
• → Photographic and behavioural reference archive for animators

When scientific precision is part of the value of the work — a sculpture, an illustration, a 3D model — the source matters. An artist working with scientific rigour needs a reliable reference point: correct morphology, colouration, posture, proportions.

• → Scientific validation of illustrations, sculptures or 3D models
• → Species technical data sheets for artists and designers
• → Development of technical content for museums and exhibitions
• → Photographic reference documentation for editorial projects

Nature books and field guides are long-lived reference materials. A taxonomic error, an outdated name, or an inaccurate behavioural description can persist for years or decades. Technical review by a specialist before printing is the most efficient way to prevent it.

I offer specialist review of manuscripts, proofs and graphic materials for publishers, authors and content departments working with phasmids.

• → Verification of nomenclature and current taxonomy
• → Review of behavioural, morphological and habitat descriptions
• → Validation of illustrations, photographs and captions
• → Corrections report with bibliographic references
