The Process

Our detailed consultation process ensures we fully understand your desired concept and production values from the outset, and we’ll provide a comprehensive quote including design, build, logistics and training services so that there are no surprises or hidden extras, whether you’re hiring or buying.  You’ll be updated at every stage so that you’re aware how your project is progressing, and our team will see to it that your effect is delivered on budget, on time, and exceeding expectations.

Safety is paramount to Burnt Toast SFX, and all our effects undergo rigorous testing and inspection before they’re released to the client. Not only will your venue crew be trained how to operate the FX safely, but your performer(s) will also receive full instruction so that they feel confident and comfortable prior to the event or performance. We arrange delivery/collection of each special effect so that it arrives in perfect condition and plenty of time for rehearsals and production.
