WE BRING YOUR
CREATIVE VISION TO LIFE

Our professional team delivers high-quality production, responsive support, quick turnarounds, and unmatched magic to the entertainment industry.

The artists and fabricators at Encirco Studios are well-rounded and experienced in many different areas of the creative process. Our team members are not limited to performing one narrow task. They understand how design, sculpture, mechanics, molding, casting, fabrication, finishing, puppetry, and performance all work together. This shared knowledge allows our artists to collaborate closely, solve problems quickly, and consider how every decision will affect the finished piece. Just as importantly, they genuinely love the work they do. That enthusiasm can be seen in the care, personality, and attention to detail they bring to every project, whether it is a small hero prop or a large-scale themed installation.

Encirco Studios is led by its owner and creative director, who brings more than 25 years of hands-on experience in the entertainment and fabrication industries. That experience helps guide each project from the earliest conversations and design decisions through fabrication, testing, finishing, installation, and final delivery. It also gives our team a practical understanding of real production schedules, budgets, client approvals, durability requirements, and the unexpected challenges that often arise during one-of-a-kind builds.

Whether we are creating a creature suit, an animatronic character, a stop-motion miniature, a custom prop, or an immersive environment, our goal remains the same: to create memorable physical work that supports the story, performs reliably, and reflects the craftsmanship of the people who made it.

Encirco Studios is a California-based design, fabrication, and production studio specializing in animatronics, practical effects, custom props, miniatures, stop-motion animation, creature costumes, scenic fabrication, and themed environments. We work with advertising agencies, film and television productions, theme parks, museums, theatrical productions, live events agencies, to turn creative ideas into real physical objects and environments.

Our approach combines traditional craftsmanship—including sculpting, mold making, casting, painting, puppetry, woodworking, metal fabrication, and practical effects—with modern technologies such as CAD design, CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing, digital scanning, and digital fabrication. We use the tools and techniques that make the most sense for each project rather than forcing every build into the same process. Sometimes that means sculpting and painting entirely by hand; other times it means combining a digitally designed structure with handmade textures, mechanical components, and scenic finishing.
