Special Effect Supply

SES was started early in 1993. The intention was to provide hard-to-find information and materials to amateur and professional special effects people. Since that time we have expanded service to include Haunted House Operators, Artists, Film Makers, Educators and other creative types.

Special Effects is a very small company. I do mean really small. I make all high level decisions and scrub the toilets, this is a reflection of the wonderful range of talent which I have.

The studio is located in a bedroom community just North of Salt Lake, But SES is not located in a bedroom. We actually rent a real office/studio in a regular business district. We would like to think that North Salt Lake, Utah is the Mecca for all Special Effects Artists, but it is not. North Salt Lake is the Mecca for kids and mini-vans. SES does nothing for mini-vans.

Often we are asked if someone can come work for us for free in exchange for experience. We say no 99% of the time. We do have an apprentice from time to time, but we always choose an apprentice because of special circumstances. If you want experience the best thing to do is to buy books, take classes and experiment on your own.
