Ignite SFX is a hands-on special effects team based in Belfast — working across Ireland, the UK and Europe. For over 15 years we've put real fire, weather, blood and pyrotechnics on camera for film and TV across Northern Ireland, the UK, Europe and further afield.

​

We don't send kit out alone. Every effect comes with experienced technicians who listen, engineer and deliver — safely, on schedule, and looking right through the lens.

​

You bring the vision. We bring the sparks, the rigs and the reliability.

TESTIMONIALS

"Frankie and the Ignite SFX team were a real pleasure to work with. Equipped with everything the production needed and ready with a solution to any problem at the drop of a hat. The team worked with VFX to provide extensive elements of fire, blood, bullet hits etc. Their practical dust storms and pyro looked exquisite on camera! Frankie's knowledge and experience really shows in his work. I really look forward to my next opportunity to work with Ignite SFX!"

Andy Clarke, VFX Supervisor
