The safety of the cast and crew must never be compromised. Over the years we have an exceptional safety record, earned through careful consideration of the design of many pyrotechnic effects. No matter how straightforward effects may appear experience, testing and safe practice are the keys to the creation of these effects. Explosions often appear as one large 'bang!', but our skill comes in breaking it down into a series of smaller, controlled explosions to create one stunning visual.
We use equipment to monitor and minimise environmental effects such as air over pressure (shock waves) and ground vibration that could cause structural damage to the surroundings. We are skilled and knowledgeable in the transportation, storage, practical implementation of and legislation regarding explosive materials on a film set.
We guide you through planning an effect, often in collaboration with the stunt coordinator, and provide a full risk assessment prior to pyrotechnic effects being carried out, in addition we have very close business ties with Charlie Adcock from Event Horizon and often sound out his advice prior any event.
