Award-winning creates SFX at its headquarters in Perivale, London
On July 16, the award-winning special effects company Artem opened its doors in Perivale, London, to showcase a number of awe-inspiring physical special effects. From pyrotechnics to atmospherics, Artem demonstrated its full range of skills and on-field experience during the evening which culminated with a car being blown up.
Artem’s wizards also displayed some of the equipment they make and use for their special effects including smoke guns and wind machines. Despite the summer weather, Artem’s specialist team was also able to make it rain, but thankfully it didn’t last! It was, however, their pyrotechnics which dominated the evening and stole the show. A particular highlight was the total destruction of a staff member’s car, which was flipped over in the course of the explosion.
Artem held a number of competitions throughout the evening. Some notable highlights involved several brave volunteers getting ‘shot at’ whilst wearing specially-rigged jackets, with a prize going to the best ‘stunt death.’ A lucky few participants also went home with their very own face casts, made by the prosthetics division, as well as some gruesome bruises and wounds.
Some of Artem’s complex creations for TV, and commercials were also on display. One of these, Churchill, the infamous TV Dog, was on hand to greet visitors on arrival. Some other highlights of the event included the more futuristic use of the giant robotic arm and Artem’s 3D printers.
With a core staff of 30, Artem’s specialist team of sculptors, engineers, prop-makers, pyrotechnicians, and artists worked hard to ensure the evening ran smoothly and safely.
With nearly 30 years’ experience, Artem has recently worked on the special effects for Take That’s 2015 Arena Tour and feature film Macbeth, starring Michael Fassbender. They have also created special effects for Prometheus, Troy and Hot Fuzz. Artem created the animatronics for the iconic Churchill Dog advertising campaign. In 2012, they helped to bring to life the enormous creative and logistical vision of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics and Paralympics.
