Props and effects for various television adverts and shows
From peripheral items that are on screen for mere seconds to more central "hero" props that can sustain the gaze of the camera for minutes (or even hours), we can fabricate pretty much anything your heart (or the script) desires. Whether it's duplicates of something in the real world or something outlandish that you need designed from scratch, give us a call.
With the advent of HD (high definition television) the scrutiny of the camera has become all the more intense. A standard PAL frame has a resoution of 768 x 576 pixels. The HD frame can go up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. That's more than twice the pixels across, and just slightly less than twice the pixels down. (In total pixels it's roughly four and a half times the resolution.) So makeup and props for HD have to be able to rise to this challenge. At Elektrik Effekts we can make this happen.
