Practical effects involve physical props, models, and stunts designed to simulate realistic or fantastical scenarios on set. Makeup effects specialists use prosthetics, makeup, and costumes to transform actors into characters with elaborate appearances or injuries. Pyrotechnics are used to create explosions, fire effects, and controlled stunts involving flames. Animatronics involve mechanical puppets or robots controlled electronically to simulate lifelike movements of creatures or characters. Sound effects services include recording, editing, and mixing sounds to enhance the auditory experience and create immersive environments.
