Career
Colin Gibson designed the bus for the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and all the vehicles in Mad Max: Fury Road. 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. Director George Miller insisted that all the vehicles and props be fully functional, including a flame-throwing guitar that was played live.
