Atmospheric special effects for film and television

Founded in 2023 by Nigel Cripps, Atmospherics specialise in the creation of atmospheric special effects including interior and exterior smoke and haze, wind, rain and fire. We also undertake small SFX prop builds and can offer pyrotechnic and other effects through our network of independent specialists.

From a single technician with an Artem for a day, through to a full SFX crew producing a range of effects throughout your production, our fully insured technicians are available to help.

Please contact Nigel on 07778 766881 to discuss your requirements.

WIND

From a small fan or leaf blower through to large electric or petrol powered fans we can provide a wind solution to meet most requirements and budgets.

SMOKE & HAZE

We provide smoke and haze effects for interior location and studio shoots as well as exteriors. Our equipment is the most up to date available and we only use environmentally safe fluids.

RAIN & WETDOWN

From light drizzle to torrential rain our rain machine uses traditional rain stands with interchangeable heads. We can also offer flexible water supply solutions to set with our partner water bowser suppliers.

FIRE

Our fire effects include practical gas powered fires in fireplaces, exterior camp fires, bonfires, spot fires, flame bars, flaming barrels, brasiers and hand held flaming torches.
