Visual Effects has become a multi-use word these days.
It can mean anything from Digital effects, like the waterworm
effect from The Abyss. Or it can be camera effects, like David
Bowman's final journey in 2001 A Space Odyssey. It can even
mean pyrotechnics explosions.
In
our case at M5, what we build is practical, physical effects,
props and rigs. This encompasses the sculpting, casting, machining,
and painting of various props, characters, and sets. Much
of our expertise has centered on the area of stop motion animation;
both sets and armatures. Often we also do design and mechanical
fabrication as well. We've built 6 inch high flying fairy
toy prototypes, 19 foot long spaceships and just about everything
in between. We've constructed mechanical prototypes for Toy
companies, as well as costumes for miniature characters in
films. In short, if it's 3 dimensional, not only can we build
it, but one of us probably already has at some point.
