Services
Gabinete Effects offers a full spectrum of prosthetic makeup and special effects services, from initial concept through final application on set. Every project is developed in-house at our Madrid studio, combining traditional craftsmanship with the latest digital fabrication technology.
01
PROSTHETIC MAKEUP DESIGN
Custom prosthetics designed, sculpted, and applied by an Emmy Award-winning artist. From subtle character aging to full creature transformations, built to perform under the demands of professional production.
02
SPECIAL MAKEUP EFFECTS (FX)
Practical effects developed for film and television — wounds, burns, gore, mechanical rigs, and on-set FX coordination with production teams.
03
ANIMATRONICS
Design and fabrication of animatronic systems for film and television — from mechanically operated facial rigs and eye mechanisms to full puppet heads with mouth movement. Built to integrate seamlessly with prosthetic makeup and operated live on set.
04
SPECIAL COSTUMES & PROPS
Fabrication of specialty costume pieces and hero props demanding the precision of an effects studio — from superhero suits and sci-fi armor to full character builds. We also produce high-end replicas and display pieces for museums, exhibitions, and collector installations, with the same standards applied to professional production work.
05
3D SCANNING & PRINTING
Life-cast digitization, reference scanning, and 3D printing for prosthetic bases, armatures, and custom tooling.

Digital character and creature development using industry-standard sculpting pipelines. From initial concept mesh to production-ready models optimized for 3D printing, mold-making, or VFX handoff. Fully compatible with traditional prosthetic workflows.

CONCEPT ART
Visual development for characters and creatures at pre-production stage. Design exploration, mood boards, and presentation-ready artwork.
