Some of our Projects

Let There be Love - Feature Film

The First Christmas Film of 2020 -  at the world famous Beverley Minster (nr York), BloodyStuff SFX were asked to provide falling snow and settled snow for what we believe was probably the first Christmas feature film for 2020.  Shot on a cold evening in Early Jan 2020, our team provided falling snow using our SnowBusiness SB200 machine using both Snow Booster and hand wand to cover actors for the closing sequence of the film as they walked into the hugely impressive Minster Doors.


Less than 30 minutes after wrap, the snow was gone and Beverley Minster ready for worship and tourists again the following morning.

Miss Willoughby & Bentley - Feature Film  

BloodyStuff SFX technicians & SFX Supervisor were chosen to consult and provide Flame FX, Practical SFX, Weapons & Bomb Props

Using our safe FlameFX flame bars & smoke we were able to create an ultra realistic fire in which one of the  lead actors were able to be placed right in the middle of a fire.  We also provided weapons training and more than 30 gun props, tasers and some explosive devices from our props and effects department.

This new action/adenture period feature film features a strong female lead, Nathalie Cox, with  the  fantastic John Rhys-Davies, Roger Ashton- Griffiths, Ian Gerard Whyte.

MISTER MAYFAIR - TV Series

Featuring Steven Bauer, Armand Assante, Nathalie Cox - BloodyStuff Props/Effects and SFX Services were chosen to consult and provide weapons, soft props and blood hits for this fantastic new, big budget action TV series.


A vast range of modern firing and non-firing guns were used in the shooting of all the action scenes and BloodyStuff SFX Supervisor and technicians provided location servivces for somewhere in the region of 60 different automatic pistols, SMG's and tactical rifles.

..But what's the point of a gun if you don't shoot it... BloodyStuff provided a range of different solutions for the bullet blood hits from our Squib range.

We had a great time and can't wait to see all 5  series when they're released.

MAX CLOUD - Movie

A space cruiser crashes on a planet that is home to an intergalactic prison and from there BloodyStuff SFX Services Props/Effects , SFX technicians & SFX Supervisor were chosen to provide Pyrotechnics, Atmospherics and practical fx props for this Sci-Fi Feature film due for release in 2020.


A great cast (Scott Adkins, John Hannah, Lashana Lyncy) and crew (Dir Martin Owen) were assembled for this movie and BloodyStuff created all the explosions and various pyrotechnic effects, smoke, wind and atmospherics that prominantly featured in this scifi adventure movie.

Working closely with the Director and VFX team, the practical explosions, pyros, smoke etc., were carefully added to provide real impact for the actors to work against and a perfect base to add further VFX effects in post.   Our experience in both SFX and VFX helped make the application of SFX perfectly suited to this VFX intensive movie.
Commercial for a Well known Drinks Company 
A series of adverts, specifically for placement in the X-Factor 2019 Finals in December, required both settled and falling snow effects to be setup and cleared down in a single day of location filming.
Our team of highly experienced technicians and SFX supervisor used various  snow materials and techniques to hand-apply the fallen snow and add falling snow from our high end SB200 snow machines; which had to cover an area of more than 20m x 10m with heavy, even and realistic snow fall.  
A cold and cloudy November day was changed at two residential locations in Bristol and Stockport into a magical Christmas movie world.

War of the Worlds - TV Drama  

BloodyStuff Props & Effects were asked to provide BreakableFX (Breakaway) furniture for this new take on "The War Of The Worlds" from Fox, StudioCanal & Urban Myth Films.

When astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Within days however, mankind is all but wiped out, with just pockets of humanity  left in a desolate vision of the world. 


As part of the incredible sets and action scenes, BloodyStuff Breakable props craftsmen were asked to create a number of replica furniture pieces that would provide stunt safe breakaway action.  

Our high quality, creations of stunt safe furniture can be seen in several scenes in the 3 part series.

Haggard Cats - Music Video 2020

BloodyStuff FilmSFX were asked to provide Blood, Bullet-Hit Pyro Squibs and blank firing semi-automatic weapons for a very original music video, featuring the exceptionally talented duo Haggard Cats (Matt & Tom).

Requiring the syncronisation of firing a gun with the bullet hit squibs on the two musicians, FilmSFX technician Keith Harding utilised our Squib HitKit & wireless firing system to get exactly the effect and critical timing that the band and record label wanted.

Shortly after the shoot we recieved the following comment via email.

"thank you so much for today! You were an absolute gent and so great to work with!"

Thank you too guys... you and the crew were great
BloodyStuff SFX - There's Something About Movies 2

Using our "Hit-Kit" pyro squib system, multi-channel wireless firing system, combined with our highly experienced technicians, 26 perfectly synchronised blood hits with actors firing blank guns was achieved.

Hollywood A-lister and action movie star, Brendan Fraser (The Mummy etc.), when asked by presenter Alan Carr, "was it good, was it like Hollywood?" replied "Yeah, that was brilliant... I think I just witnessed a homicide!"

SALVAGE MARINES - US TV Series  

BloodyStuff SFX technicians & SFX Supervisor were chosen to consult and provide practical SFX "actor-safe" Explosions and atmos in a studio set environment.


Using the Air-Mortars, we were able to provide ultra realistic smoke, dust and debris to which actors and stunt performers were able to be filmed right in the middle of the blast (no need for VFX and the actors, didn't need to do that much acting either;-)).


The new tv sci-fi series is set in a grim future of corporate tyranny and deep space combat, where top Hollywood actor Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) signs up for the hazardous life of a salvage marine, the foot soldiers of a militarized deep space operation.

There's Something About Movies 2 - UK TV Show  

The second season of this exceptionally popular film based panel show hosted by Alan Carr with team captains Michael Sheen and Jennifer Saunders, features a host of 'A'-list celebrities who have to recreate their own comically improvised version of famous film scenes.


BloodyStuff SFX were selected for two of the 6 episodes to provide blood and bullet hit effects, with an amazing 26 pyrotechnic bullet hits in just one section of the show, performed in front of a live studio audience at Pinewoods TV Studios. Using our advanced Wireless firing system and pre-prepared blood/pyro squibs from our HitKit range, we were able to rig 2 actors with 16 bullet hits in under 4 minutes.

It's probably the most fun we've ever had shooting a bunch of actors.... they were absolutely great sports.

Soft Props - 1.5m Tree Trunk from our CustomShop
Here is one of our recent "made-to-order" Soft Props for a Film
The Scene called for a lightweight and "fight-safe" 1.5m long tree trunk, to be picked up by a small girl and used to hit the "baddie"
BloodyStuff Props masters moulded a real tree trunk (22kg) and then cast from foam and put it through our paint/finishing department for the final product, which weighs less than a kilo.
Weapons - Resin Replica of a Real Rifle from our CustomShop
Here is one of our recent "made-to-order" Replica Resin Weapons
The Scene called for some rough action treatment of the lead actors weapon, which was a real, very rare and extremely expensive tactical rifle.
Working with the armourer, who accompanied his real gun to our workshops, we set about casting , moulding and finishing a faithful reproduction of the original, which was then used in the film to drop and generally abuse.  Being made of resin and with the possiblity to create as many replicas as required, made working with BloodyStuff the perfect solution for the film
