Mockups and Prototypes

We routinely do things that have never been done before. When a new idea requires proof of concept, we build wings to make sure it can fly. Prototyping, mockup design and production, and extensive research and development all come together to get new ideas off the ground. We create special effects, test new show elements, design integrated media and effects systems, and make mechanical and technical equipment do the impossible.

Through prototyping, mockups, and research and development, we help prove your concepts before you go to the field and put together a game plan for future execution.

MOCKUP DESIGN AND PRODUCTION

Prove your ideas in real space with our extensive mock-up capabilities. Our team of engineers, machinists, carpenters and experienced experts can create accurate models for visualization and technical integration. The first giant leap in making a big idea feel within reach.

Our team is capable of creating large models with accuracy and speed to begin visualization at scale and in real space. Employing metalworkers, carpenters and engineers to achieve a desired effect, our mock-up space where your dream begins to take shape. Optical illusions, room layouts, and viewing distances are puzzles best solved as early as possible in the design process, and our mock-up space is where those questions get answered. By bringing an aspect of any design off the page and into real life, with real physical limitations, we gain a better understanding of the problems at hand and how to solve them. From massive ride vehicles, to convincing false windows, to playtesting gamification, mock-ups provide a kinesthetic learning opportunity and a chance to see how real an experience can feel.

PROTOTYPING

With engineers from a variety of backgrounds from mechatronics to A/V, our prototyping shop has created a wide range of one of a kind implements to support one of a kind experiences. Through rapid iteration and continuous improvement, prototyping brings concepts to life and ensures their longevity.

Proving out the capabilities of new systems and patented machines allows your dream to take shape. Our prototypes have ranged from educational exhibits, to street legal vehicles, to entire systems of plumbing and show control with the express purpose of delivering slime at high speeds. Through our prototypes, our team is able to quickly solve problems as they arise and deliver precision, accuracy and consistency. They also allow our clients to understand the challenges of integrating new systems before fabrication and implementation.

SPECIAL EFFECTS

Create stunning special effects that trick the eye and engage the imagination. With special attention paid to making effects convincing and long-lasting, our team of experts are able to deploy all the cutting-edge tricks of the trade.

We know how important special effects are to audience engagement and immersion. Our team has decades of experience across the globe crafting convincing effects in a variety of challenging environments. From pyrotechnics to complex projection mapping, to Pepper’s Ghosts, our team delivers attention to detail at all levels.
