Props
Unique custom designed props with or without electronics. For example: cockpit gauges, smoke grenades, drone lighting etc
Special Effects
Technical systems for practical effects.
I design and build bespoke electronics and control systems for practical effects in TV & Movie production. Including props, motion control, timing systems, controllers, etc.
What this involves
Special effects work often requires custom-built systems that do not exist off the shelf. This includes props, control electronics, timing systems, triggering, and integration with mechanical or visual elements.
The emphasis is on works-first-time, on budget, on time systems.
Typical work
Control Systems
Custom controllers for triggering and sequencing practical effects.
Motion and IMU
Systems for measuring, displaying, playback of IMU Data, or controlling motion tables, camera heads etc
Networking and data
Unique solutions for netwoked controls, protocol conversion and so on.
One-off Builds
Purpose-built hardware for specific scenes or production requirements.
On-set Reliability
Designs that work first time and consistently under production pressure.
Approach
The focus is always on practical solutions that can be deployed quickly, operate reliably, and integrate cleanly with other departments. With decades of experience working on-set and behind the scenes, you can rely on us. With contacts throughout the industry.
With the right contacts across the industry no project is too small or even too big!
Systems are designed with clarity and simplicity in mind, ensuring they can be understood and operated effectively in a production environment.
