Mechanical & Special Effects

Sometimes, fire just isn’t enough.

Big Dog Pyro can also produce a slew of other mechanical and atmospheric special effects — many of which we custom fabricate. From set construction, to rain and fog, to breakaway glass and breakaway furniture, if it explodes, pops, bursts, or shatters, we can probably do it—or put our crazy brains together to figure out how to make it happen.

Talk to us about what we can design for your film or TV production, city festival, or corporate event.
