Overview

Film Flies - realistic insect props have solved a number of logistical problems for film studios and photographers including Disney, Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, Sony/Columbia Pictures, HBO & NBC Universal Television.

Actors, sets and products can easily be filmed and photographed with insects, that don't crawl, tickle or bite

Film makers can effectively eliminate post-production costs associated with shrinking large props to life size, frame by frame

Our bees have been filmed sliding down a wire onto an ice cream cone, and eaten

Please contact me for solutions, our life-size bugs are as durable as they are realistic.
