Mark Rappaport's Creature Effects, Inc.
MAKEUP, CREATURE AND PUPPET FABRICATION

Creature Effects, Inc. is an independently owned business that produces animatronics and makeup effects for film and television. The company was founded by Mark Rappaport in 1990 after many years of creating puppets and makeup for other effect houses. Mark's experience producing effects for ILM, Chris Walas, KNB, Stan Winston and running the creature shop for the independent branch of Paramount Pictures known as Full Moon Productions gave him the expertise to generate outstanding effects through his own facility.

Located in Los Angeles, adjacent to Universal Studios, Creature Effects, Inc. has supported feature films for all of the major studios and has traveled crew around the world to puppeteer, manage effects and apply makeup. Mark has managed extensive, multi-million dollar projects requiring crews of 50 to 100 technicians, as well as commercial assignments with limited funds and rapid turnaround. Feature film projects include: I Am Legend, 300, Scary Movie 2 and The Last Samurai. Creature Effects creates much more than creature makeups and puppets. We have an extensive inventory of ultra-realistic human baby and animal puppets that we have created over the years. Our designers create innovative conceptual artwork, sculpture and mechanisms to bring the visions of directors and producers to life.
