Director Marc Coleman discussing award-winning feature film Manfish with SciFiNow:
"Steve Braund of Mind Magic Studios did the most amazing job sculpting, moulding and painting the creature head, and in record time. I still remember going to Steve's studio to pick the head up and couldn't believe what he'd created. He'd really captured Nik's original drawings and added his own touches too. Once I had the creature's head in my hands, I couldn't wait to get into production."

HOW TO CUSTOMISE SILICONE AND RESIN MASKS FROM OUR CATALOGUE
We are very happy to work with you to customise existing products from our catalogue to your specific needs.
For masks in particular, different paint and hair can dramatically change the character of how they look. This is a great option for low budget film and theatre productions.
Your options can include:
-
bespoke paint finishes to change the colours
-
specialist paint effects such as metallic or UV glow-in-the-dark paint
-
fresh or dried blood and gore effects, and extra blood and/ or gore if the mask already features this - great for zombie and Halloween / horror masks
-
for silicone masks, head or facial hair
-
for resin eyes and masks featuring resin eyes, a choice of different eye colours and effects
We can provide many of the above options at no extra charge.
Our client @darthsin4057 reviewing the custom blue and black UV paint finish we provided for him to our catalogue silicone mask Baeldorfyr the demon:
"Thank you for making my creation in my head come to life. I can't wait to wear this and create a whole outfit to justify the creativeness put into this mask. These guys have awesome communication and customer service 10/10."
