Realistic Steam Effects: From Coffee Cups to Steam Locomotives
Realistic Steam SFX: Coffee Cups to Locomotives

Welcome to steam special effects, a page about steam effects for film and tv. From cups of coffee to steam locomotives, we create realistic steam vapour effects with a mixture of safe steam systems. You know creating steam effects with a traditional boiler has many safety issues, including hot hoses and er, jets of scolding steam, right?

Safe, Realistic Steam Vapour Effects

Traditional boilers are useful if you require a large volume of liquid such as a pool or a tank to be heated, but if there is action close by or actors are physically involved we (cough, proud chestpuff) use our own adapted cold water MEE steam system.

What is MEE?

MEE uses filtered water pressurised to 1000psi to create steam special effects, which we sometimes combine with liquid CO2 or a quick dispersal smoke fluid.

Proven Results in Film

We used MEE extensively in the mine scenes in Peter Weir’s ‘The Way Back’, which gave fabulous results.
