Behind the scenes
Giant Head Model & Controlled Pyrotechnics
To support the creative vision of the production team, MACHINESHOP build a structural centrepiece model and provided on-set flame effects.
- Bespoke Prop Fabrication & Model-Making: Our model-making technicians sculpted, built, and finished a custom Giant Head prop featured as a central installation for the festival set.
- Controlled Pyrotechnics and Fire SFX: The narrative called for a highly synchronized, visually dramatic fire sequence. MACHINESHOP’s certified pyrotechnicians designed and rigged custom gas manifolds to create controlled fire effects.
- On-Set SFX Management & Supervision: Working tightly inside the television production schedule, our crew managed real-time adjustments to flame height, safety zones, and environmental containment, ensuring consistent resets across multiple camera takes.
