About Amsterdam Special Effects
Practical special effects connecting on-set preparation, workshop construction and technical design.
We think along. And we make it.
Amsterdam Special Effects combines practical effects with technical fabrication. Our art-department background informs attention to the final image, form and finish. We work on films, series and commercials, as well as technical games, mechanical solutions, set pieces and activations. The shared starting point is what the object or effect needs to do.
A workshop full of possibilities
In Wijk bij Duurstede we develop, build and test our work. Depending on the assignment, we also prepare and execute effects on set or on location.
A core team and trusted freelancers
Alongside Daniel, Rick and Bas, we work with a regular team of experienced freelancers. Crew composition follows the effect, fabrication and location requirements.
Experience that grows with the work
The team combines experience in effects and art-department assignments. Our project pages show what was made and identify the contribution of the makers involved.
