Mechanical Effects are often the most challenging to perform, we are given complex tasks but the real challenge is to accomplish these tasks quickly, reliably and simply.

Experience can help when making rigs that are asked for time and again; like mortars, 'descenders' or 'jerk rigs' for example.

Other rigs may require invention, inspiration and knowledge in a variety of engineering disciplines, such as; hydraulics, pneumatics and servo engineering.

Our workshop is equipped with machine tools sufficient for most engineering requirements. We have the resources to fabricate most of our rigs in house, only extremely specialised requirements will be put to a list of approved sub contractors.This gives us greater control over quality and deadlines.

Safety is a key issue in the design of effects rigs, both large and small. With proper design and fabrication no one needs to be subjected to danger on a film set, it is also pointless to take chances and then find out that you can't get approval to shoot. We are experienced at working with structural engineers and safety inspectors and we understand the design procedures necessary to gain safety approval.
