Mechanical Set Builds

Elements Special Effects has a vast workshop capacity which means bringing a productions ideas to life by building custom mechanical rigs, and, replica or original set pieces is an easy inhouse task. We have done everything from interactive room-size locks and safe cracking for the likes of Culprits and King of Thieves to replica building fronts primed for controlled cinematic demolition, one recent example would be gunpowder siege.  Our team of sticky shop, painters, welders and engineers work in union to create fantastic final pieces like culprits’ interior dustbin-lorry cabin that slowly and convincingly closes in for tense shots using hydraulics. We’ve focused on the outer and inner workings for full size locomotives like Nightsleeper.
