This year I've been lucky enough to work at the awesome workshop of Machine Shop special effects.
They specialise in explosions, animatronics, modelmaking, prosthetics, bullet hits, fake blood, slow motion, laser scanning, 3D printing, CNC mill/lathe/routering, robotics, electronics, liquid effects, cannons, snow, wind, rain, pyrotechnics, jetpacks, spaceships etc.
Get in touch with them if you need any magical and/or dangerous effects delivered in a professional manner.
