Career

Colin Gibson designed the bus for the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert[1] and all the vehicles in Mad Max: Fury Road.[2] He joined the production of the latter film in 2000, and first began building cars in 2003. The film soon entered development hell and did not resume production until 2011.[3] Director George Miller insisted that all the vehicles and props be fully functional, including a flame-throwing guitar that was played live.[4]
