The studio

Craft under pressure.

Blue Whale Studios, Inc. is a Florida-based special effects house. We design and build characters, then stand behind them every show day with trained crews and a maintenance pipeline.

The Shop
The Makeup Room
3D Printing

The shop runs sculpting, mold making, silicone and foam running, paint, hair and fabrication under one roof. Nothing gets handed off blind.

Our artists come from film, haunt and theme park backgrounds — people who can hold a look across a six-month run and rebuild an appliance between shows.

Sculpt & Mold

Lifecasting, clay and digital sculpt, mold making and running.

Paint & Finish

Intrinsic and extrinsic paint, punching, hair work and detailing.

Show Operations

Base leads, call sheets, continuity and repair turnaround.
