Visual Effects by
Amalgamated
Dynamics
From goopy practical to elaborate computer animation, the team at Amalgamated Dynamics has been behind some of the best creature effects of the last 30 years.
In Paul Verhouven’s gung-hu war satire, Johnny Rico’s military career progresses from recruit to officer against the backdrop of an interstellar battle between mankind and "the Bugs". Starship Troopers is packed with killer effect work, using a seamless combination of practical and computer effects that still look incredible today.

A fleet of Martian spacecraft descend, and humanity waits to see if they have, in fact, "come in peace." But when a peaceful exchange ends with the total annihilation of Congress, military men call for full-scale nuclear retaliation. Made in the early days of CG, Mars Attacks may look a little dated, but in a testament to great artistry those technical limitations never pull you out of Tim Burton’s wild (and extremely 90’s) Sci-fi spoof.

Val McKee and Earl Bassett are in a fight for their lives when they discover that their desolate town has been infested with gigantic creatures that live below the ground. Tremors is the first film out of Amalgamated Dynamics, and it made for one hell of a calling card. The man-eating Graboids look incredible as the hunt the bevy of top-notch character actor’s that make this horror-comedy one of our favorites.
