Bespoke Gags, Rigs & Builds
Full-service practical SFX, with the specialist capability to build the gags and technical solutions that are not on a hire list.
When a production requires something that cannot be hired or bought, Mechatrons FX develops bespoke practical and technical solutions around the specific requirements of the shot.
Some effects begin with a detailed specification. Others begin with a director saying, “Can we make this happen?” Mechatrons FX combines practical effects experience with advanced engineering to develop mechanisms, systems and on-camera solutions for unusual production requirements.
One SFX Team, End To End
A bespoke build can involve mechanical, electronic and practical effects working together. Because those capabilities are built into our SFX workshop, the same team can develop the mechanism, fabricate it, test it and operate it on set, keeping the effect connected to the shot from first discussion to final take.
How It Works
- Talk through the shot, the schedule and what has to happen on camera
- Our engineers design a mechanical, electronic or practical solution around it
- The build is fabricated, wired and tested in our Dublin workshop
- Our own crew rigs, operates and supports it on set
