PYROTECHNIC SFX

Explosions & Fire Effects: From Disaster Blasts to Controlled Pyro Sequences
Explosions & Fire SFX for TV & Film

Mention ‘special effects’ and everyone thinks of EXPLOSIONS! But this is a fraction of what our Pyro special effects team does here at AGOG. We safely facilitate all forms of fire effects, from bomb and disaster explosions to strafing sequences, body, blood, bullet and squib hits to fire and flame effects for TV, film and more.

Controlled Pyrotechnic Effects: Minimising Shock Waves & Structural Damage
Controlled Pyro Effects: Safer Explosions

Explosions often appear as one large BANG! but running large pyrotechnic effects as smaller, sequenced explosions, milliseconds apart, minimises shock waves and ground vibration. This prevents structural damage to surroundings, improves safety and allows for creativity within the explosions themselves.

Computer-Controlled Fire Systems: Timing & Wireless Pyro Technology
Wireless Pyro Tech: Computer-Controlled Systems

We’ve invested £20k in computer-controlled firing systems to get millisecond timing and digitally encoded remote firing boxes for pyrotechnic special effects that can’t be wired. We can use this with high explosives, tiny squibs or on-air systems when safety concerns rule out pyrotechnics. We have self-contained personal hitboxes too, using compressed gas or air mortar systems.

Silent Pyrotechnic Effects: Creative & Quiet Explosions for Sensitive Locations
Silent Pyro Effects: Quiet Explosions

We’ve even created ‘silent’ visual explosive effects… we built a string of 20 Chinese crackers or Bangers so Emily Blunt could light them in her mouth whilst cycling along for a sequence in the movie Wild Target, filmed outside the National Portrait Gallery where loud noises were prohibited, let alone explosive bangs!
