Fantasy and Magic Productions
Fantasy and magic productions use the full range of practical SFX: atmospheric effects, pyrotechnics, animatronics, functional props, mechanical effects and bespoke gags. Mechatrons FX also brings specialist design and fabrication capability when a scene calls for something that has to be built specifically for the shot.
Practical SFX For The Impossible Moments
An object that appears to float, a door that opens with no one touching it, a creature with a face that genuinely performs. Fantasy asks for effects that look effortless but are mechanically difficult to pull off convincingly. That is exactly the kind of problem our workshop is built around: remote-controlled mechanisms, animatronic performance, and bespoke rigs engineered specifically for the shot, backed by real credits on Good Omens and Fate: The Winx Saga.
What This Looks Like On Set
- Mythical or supernatural creature animatronics with genuine facial and body performance
- Objects that appear to move, float or open with no visible mechanism or operator
- Fire and pyrotechnic gags shaped for magical effect: bursts, flares and controlled flame
- Atmospheric fog and mist built for a mystical, otherworldly feel
- Bespoke props and artefacts engineered to glow, transform or react on cue
