The Ingenious FX World
MTFX Goes Way Beyond Special Effects
Special effects can make or break a project. While bigger television production budgets have paid for more special effects in shows like Westworld, the predominant space for special effects remains in movies like Transformers and Star Wars. Here is a reel featuring clips from The Ingenious World of MTFX, a small production company in Wales that specializes in spectacular stunts, effects, and explosions.
MTFX supplies aqua graphics, fire/pyro effects, and special rain effects. It boasts on its website, “[MTFX] produced calm “after the storm” scenes with the use of snow candles and snow banks to create a windswept look.” The scenes are elaborate and portray natural disaster areas. For example, in this video, there are segments with firefighters in burning homes. In winter settings, there are tense snow flurries that overpower the screen.
MTFX describes itself as a multi-faceted company that has “traveled to quite literally the end of the earth, creating stunning special effects for a variety of television and film productions.” On its website, you can ask about a selection of effects. For example, “from an amazing looking smoky effect for photography to a realistic grated ice effect, or even a fantastic looking fake blood that reacts on contact.” The production value of the props is extraordinary.
The most remarkable scene in this reel is a building collapse caused by a car crash. For new filmmakers or independent projects, MTFX offers an affordable and reliable host of special effects work that can impress directors and improve the quality of projects. Music elevates and brings this reel together. PROVOKR readers enjoy the video!
