We can coordinate and execute any effect that has to do with fire, sparks, explosions, or smoke.
We are ATF licensed for low and high explosives work.
Our goals are to create realistic visuals for the camera while maintaining the
highest standard of safety on the set.

Mother Nature's environments are recreated by SSEI crew to provide you with the most realistic
"controlled" weather conditions possible. Over the years, SSEI has become synonymous
with the creation of the very best in winter scenes.
With custom equipment (Snowmaker truck, Whisper snow guns, etc.),
and proprietary materials (Bio-Snow 2, WaterSculpt snow batting),
winter can be produced year round no matter what the weather or climate.

From light sprinkles to heavy thunderstorms, slight breezes to hurricane-type winds,
our SSEI crew and custom equipment can simulate weather of all seasons.
Don't forget the many types of fog we can produce.
From hints of haze to rolling London fog, we can create the look you require.
