Everything You Wanted to Know
About Prosthetics (But Were Afraid to Ask)
Got questions? We've got answers. Whether you're a seasoned director, a first-time producer, or just a curious soul wondering how fake limbs look so real, we’re here to demystify the magic of special effects prosthetics.
1. What does Life & Limb Effects do?`
We design, craft, and apply high-quality prosthetics for film and television. That includes everything from subtle facial transformations to full-body creature suits, injury FX, and futuristic cybernetic enhancements. Whether you need a one-off rental or a fully customized, wearable piece, we make it happen.
2. Do you work on independent films and small productions?
Absolutely! We love working on projects of all sizes. Whether you're an indie filmmaker with a bold vision or a big studio with a complex brief, we tailor our work to fit your needs. We’re here to make practical effects accessible to every kind of storyteller.
3. How early should we contact you in pre-production?
The sooner, the better! Prosthetics take time to design, sculpt, and perfect. Ideally, reach out in soft prep so we can ensure your prosthetics are exactly what you need—ready for application, wear, and a flawless on-camera experience.
1. How realistic are your prosthetics?
Painfully realistic (but without the pain). Every detail, from skin texture to blood flow, is meticulously crafted. We use industry-leading materials to create effects that look flawless under even the harshest camera scrutiny.
2. Do you offer on-set application services?
Yes! If needed, we’ll apply, blend, and maintain your prosthetics on set, ensuring they hold up under the lights, long shoot days, and any unexpected changes.
3. Can actors move, speak, and perform naturally while wearing your prosthetics?
Absolutely. Our prosthetics are designed for comfort, durability, and full range of motion—because the best prosthetic is one you forget you’re wearing.
1. Do you have pre-made prosthetics available for rent?
Yes! We have a carefully curated rental collection that includes severed limbs, hyper-realistic wounds, alien appendages, and more. Need something fast? Get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
2.What if I need something completely custom?
We love a challenge. If you need a bespoke prosthetic, we’ll work with you to design, sculpt, and fabricate a piece that fits your exact specifications.
1. Do you have a pricing list?
Pricing depends on the complexity of the design, materials, and application process. For rentals, we offer daily and weekly rates. For custom work, get in touch and we’ll provide a quote based on your project’s needs.
2. Where do you ship to?
We work with productions worldwide. Whether you're filming in Hollywood, London, or the middle of the Arctic (hey, it happens), we’ll make sure your prosthetics arrive safe, sound, and set-ready.
