My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who has an interest in learning what it takes to have an awesome career in the Special Effects field.....

In the very near future there will be an album representing student projects from each semester, but for now here is one of the first projects our students complete.....

Molly completed this guy in 4th semester using her skills in sculpting, molding, running foam, application, painting and she completed the look with wardrobe. Alot of hard work and a great end result!!

Cory created this project during airbrush class. Students utilize airbrush techniques to complete projects from makeup applications to painting props.

A SHRUNKEN HEAD>>>>

Entails sculpting (in clay) and molding (in foam) the actual head, it is then painted and every strand of hair is punched into the prop BY HAND! The student would then detail the project and present for their final grade....

We ALWAYS Love a great zombie!! Nicci Wise-Bard created this lovely lady in her 3rd semester at Savini!

SCULPTURE is a BIG part of Special Effects... Scott Campbell showed his skill with this amazing sculpture for his 3rd semester class!!

Mark Santos shows us what special effects are all about! This is one of his completed 4th semester projects!
