Our Services

Here’s the deal. In this line of work, if you are not turning heads, you are invisible. That’s where we come in. When we say we are the best it’s not a suggestion, its fact. You’ve got a vision? Good. But you need the kind of execution that leaves no room for second thoughts. The kind that wakes your audience up like a punch in the gut.

Sculpting and Fabrication

Sculpting is a crucial step in realizing a client or artists vision. It is the 3D reality of what is going on in the minds eye. Being that each vision or project is unique we cannot box ourselves in with only one approach and must be open to explore and fabricate by pushing the boundaries of different mediums. This philosophy helps in realizing that size and scale are simply limited by your own imagination. With the correct approach anything is possible.

Molding & Casting:

Just as each sculpture is unique, so is each mold. When planning out a mold there is a list of questions the technician must answer in his/her mind, such as; will heat effect the sculpt, will time effect the integrity, will the cast be hard or soft ect. Each of these answers guide the final approach of what materials to use. One wrong decision and both the mold and artpiece can be severely compromised. It is important to choose a casting studio with experience. At The Unreel Arthouse we keep everything inhouse with over 20 years hands on mold making experience

Whether it’s the shimmering scales on a mermaid's tail ,the intricate fur laying on a grizzly bear or the detailing on a giant polystyrene ice-berg our artists approach are always the same; meticulous attention to the finer details ensuring each project makes the impact it intends.
