Practical Special Effects company Synapse FX

Practical Special Effects is one in which a prop object appears to work in a situation where it obviously could not (such as shooting a gun). No trick photography or post-production editing is involved. This type of effect is normally found in live theater.

In film, the term practical effects is also used to denote those effects that are produced on-set, without the aid of computer generated imagery. "Special effects" is also usually considered to be equivalent to practical effects, whereas "visual effects" usually denotes those effects created in post-production through photographic printing or produced with the aid of a computer.

The illusions used to simulate an imagined event in a story or an effect used to produce scenes that cannot be achieved by normal techniques is why Special Effects are so important in every film. Those visual elements in movies and television such as fog, smoke, breaking objects, dead bodys, or a bleeding hands are used to effect reality in the picture or video-space that are either impossible or impractical to produce firsthand.

To leave an impact on an audience you must first "effect" them and what better way to achieve that then by using Special Effects. With the constant growing industry and upcoming technologys our crew is highly trained in many areas of special effects.

Many of the staples of action movies are practical effects. Gunfire, bullet wounds, rain, wind, fire and explosions can all be produced on a movie set by someone skilled in practical effects.
