Storytelling through artistry
Passion for the story lies at the heart of what we do. Our Design Studio utilises a holistic approach to create never-before-seen creatures, beloved characters and rich, believable worlds. We are dedicated to delivering creatively excellent work in service of your vision.
One cohesive pipeline
Our design-for-manufacture pipeline is the bridge
between first concept and final build. With over 30 years of experience bringing stories to life, we
understand the technical requirements that allow a design to become
fully functional for a film, television show or exhibition. Next to our Design Studio is our workshop, ready to make it real.
