Special Effects Fabrication Services
Update: 2018
Someone recently left a comment on one of my video tutorials and his words really struck me. He said that guys like me are like practical historians. We work to preserve and teach history by recreating it. Now in this digital age, more than ever, the art of crafting with your hands and, more specifically, crafting the physical aspect of pop culture (models, props) is something I enjoy sharing.
Whether you are an artist interested in turning your design into 3-dimensional reality (virtual 3d mesh models included), a museum curator looking to add displays, a collector adding to his collection, or a filmmaker in need of a special effects artist, we can help you.
Anything you can IMAGINE, in any media, we can turn into reality.
The studio is fully equiped to handle any custom fabrication need.
No job is too large, or too small. One of the more unusual jobs that came to us involved the production of hundreds of shock proof shell housings for the wildlife department. These housings were outfitted with GPS monitors and attached to wild wolf populations. Not your typical job but it was stimulating nonetheless.
Other projects have involved custom set fabrication, and the production of design elements for unusual filming sets.
Past and current clients include: Sony Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, Dreamworks, Pixar, Paramount studios, Disney Studios, Universal Studios, KNB FX Group, Hasbro, Discovery Channel, MTV, David Copperfield, VH1, Cartoon network, Comedy Central, Rhinomotion films.
Abstract art is produced here and displayed in local galleries.
