From miniature toy-sized builds to oversized animatronic characters, hand puppets, and character-filled robots — this job was packed with challenges.
Knee High Spies is coming soon, and we couldn’t be prouder of what the Sharp FX team created for this wild, imaginative world. 🕶️✨
Huge thanks to the amazing Knee High Spies team for trusting us to help bring this world to life.

Test footage of our 80s-style animatronic werewolf 🐺💥 A full creature suit brought to life with practical FX and snarling animatronics. No CGI—just foam, fur, and mechanics. Because nothing beats the bite of old-school FX.

In 2022, Sharp FX created three life-size orca models for the National Museum of Australia. Suspended in the Great Southern Land gallery, these whales represent the famous Eden pod — including Old Tom — and tell the remarkable story of humans and orcas working together in Twofold Bay, NSW. A rare and powerful chapter of Australian environmental history brought to life at scale.
Huge thanks to the crew involved for their hard work and dedication to this project. #SharpFX #NationalMuseumOfAustralia #Orca #KillerWhale #MuseumExhibit #LifeSizeModels #GreatSouthernLand #AustralianHistory #CreatureFabrication #PracticalEffects #ExhibitionDesign #SculptureAtScale
