ABOUT USCreature Effects, Inc. is a full-service effects house that produces animatronics, props, and makeup for film and television. The company was founded by Mark Rappaport in 1990 after a long career of creating puppets and makeup. Producing effects for ILM, Chris Walas, KNB, Stan Winston and running the creature shop for the independent branch of Paramount Pictures, known as Full Moon Productions, Mark gained the expertise to generate outstanding effects through his own facility.
Located in Los Angeles, adjacent to Universal Studios, Creature Effects, Inc. has supported feature films for all of the major studios and has traveled around the world to puppeteer and manage effects. Mark has supervised extensive, multi-million dollar projects requiring crews of 50 to 100 technicians, as well as commercial assignments with limited funds and rapid turnaround. Known throughout the industry for our ultra-realistic, rideable mechanical horses, Creature Effects has implemented the latest technology that can be used in the toughest environments on the most remote sets. Creature Effects also provides much more than mechanical horses, creature makeups and puppets. We have an extensive Rental inventory of life-like human babies, animal puppets, props, and character suits. We also provide conceptual design, prop production and costuming services. Our in-house production team utilizes innovative approaches to create life-like realizations of client concepts. Creature Effects will bring your ideas to life. |
