Every believable transformation begins long before the camera rolls. Whether realistic injuries, ageing, fantasy characters or complete transformations – every film prosthetic is developed individually for your production. From the first idea through modelling to the finished result, the entire fabrication process comes from a single source.

Overview

A convincing film prosthetic doesn't start with silicone or paint – it starts with a clear idea.

Often, at the beginning of a project, it isn't yet clear how a figure or transformation should look in the end. That's exactly why every project starts with a personal conversation. Together we discuss your ideas, the budget, the schedule and the requirements of the production. Even at this early stage it becomes clear which solutions make sense and are realistically achievable.

Every character transformation is tailored individually to the production's requirements. Factors such as camera setups, wearing comfort, facial expression, shoot duration and planned special effects feed into the development from the start. This creates film prosthetics that not only look convincing but also function reliably under real production conditions.

For me, the quality of a film prosthetic is decided during modelling. This is where the form, proportions and small details are created that later determine whether an effect looks believable. Everything created in this step forms the basis for the final result.

Only then follow mould making, fabrication, painting and preparation for use on set. Each step builds on the previous one and is carefully coordinated with your production.

My goal is to develop film prosthetics that are not perceived as an artificial effect but blend naturally into the character and the story. That way, direction, production and cast can focus entirely on their work.

My standard

For me, a film prosthetic has succeeded when it is no longer perceived as a film prosthetic but as part of the character. That is exactly the goal I pursue on every project – because convincing special effects should support the story, not distract from it.

Good to know

Many productions start with just a first idea, a moodboard, a sketch or an AI-generated concept image. That is entirely sufficient. Together we develop it into a solution that is technically feasible, fits the budget and meets the requirements of your production.

Are you planning a transformation, a film prosthetic or a custom character for your production?

I look forward to hearing your idea and developing a solution together that supports your production in the best possible way.

Process

From the first briefing to delivery — a clear workflow with one dedicated contact.

How we work together

Project briefing

Together we discuss your idea, the desired effect, and the budget, schedule and production requirements.

Concept development

Based on your vision, a concept takes shape that can be realised creatively, technically and economically.

Sculpting

This is where every film prosthetic begins. Form, proportions and details are worked out here and largely determine the quality of the final result.

Mould making

Once sculpting is complete, the mould is made so the prosthetic can be produced precisely and reproducibly.

Fabrication

The prosthetic is produced in the appropriate material, prepared and optimised for its later use.

Painting & finish

Colours, textures and details are worked out individually so the prosthetic blends naturally into the character.

Handover or on-set support

On request, I accompany the production directly on set and assist with application and adjustments during the shoot.
