For over three decades Artem has been providing a full range of physical special effects and creative model making. We love to blow things up, and will create fire, smoke, blood, foul weather and general mayhem for projects of any scale and budget.
We can design and build the most amazing models, animatronics and mechanical marvels, bring superhero suits from page to reality and strew battlefields with prosthetic casualties. Whether we are making a model, creating on-set atmos or mixing up exactly the right consistency of fake chocolate liquid, our technicians will go the extra mile to ensure that you get the right product, effect or shot.
We excel in CAD/CAM technologies, animatronics & puppets, atmospherics, confectionary & food, electronics, mechanical & pneumatic rigs, models & miniatures, props, pyrotechnics, sculpture, special costume, water & steam and weather effects.
We also offer a host of services such as hire & sales of equipment and consumables, and on-site testing and shooting facilities. With offices in London, Manchester, and Glasgow we can support your production or project anywhere in the UK.
