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
