Alien Proof Construction specialises in the design, build and installation of full-scale sets, props and special effects for film, TV, theatre and events

ATMs just not Mardi Gras enough? We will bejewel them. The main street of Broome too in the present? Let us transform it into a 1950s set, complete with tonnes of blood-red Pindan and an authentic tin hotel

CONSTRUCTION
(SETS AND PROPS)

Alien Proof has over 35 years in the set construction industry as part of build teams for major shows including C*A*U*G*H*T; The Drover’s Wife; Last King of The Cross; Life on the Line; Wolf Like Me and many more. We also have a strong focus on art-based TVCs and new media promotion (ANZ GAYTMs; Cloud 9 Frozen
in the Clouds campaign).

SPECIAL
EFFECTS

Our special effects include an array of
experiments including an air-powered canon for Steampunks, a petrol-bombed, flooded caravan for a Seabellies’ music video, and Scuba Driver, a rusting Kombie, sealed, waterproofed and filled with eight tonnes of water and driven by a scuba “driver” and his mermaid.

VEHICLE
CUSTOMISATION

From kitting out classic muscle cars for a
high-octane drag race, to designing an on-road dancefloor cantina, a pimped-out, tech-heavy
mood lab and a yearly Mad-Max inspired dirt-track pilgrimage, vehicle customisation is all part
of the show.

We know every job is about quality, time and money and we aim to get the very best value out of any budget without compromising our commitment to you.

“Alien Proof is the ultimate screen production house, manned by the irrepressible Ran and a team that go the distance, even if that means relocating to the desert for a month.”

“I didn’t think anyone could build me a nine-metre flaming bonfire for a smoke-sensitive OH+S-shackled indoor event. But they did it and it remains unforgettable!”
