15+ years of real fire, weather and blood on camera.

​

Based in Belfast, Ignite SFX puts practical special effects on film and TV sets across Ireland, the UK, Europe and beyond. We've worked alongside crews from HBO and Netflix, and we build and run everything from fire and pyro to rain, wind, snow, blood hits and custom fabrication.

​​

Safe by design.

Producers get spectacle and peace of mind: effects delivered by technicians who solve problems on the day.

​​

Built on resilience and innovation.

Frankie is a supervisor living with a disability, and that shaped Ignite from day one: creative, "outside the box" engineering solutions that others might miss. Every effect we execute is not only spectacular but meticulously planned, rigorously tested, and delivered with the highest safety standards in the business.

Green by commitment.

We are committed to sustainable SFX practices, ensuring our engineering solutions meet the industry's green standards.
