Kobus Verhoef: Kobus is the original inventor of the Gravitron. He started the company to provide a word class special effects and fabrication service, and create a space where creative, committed and talented crew can feel at home, further develop their skills and have fun doing the best job in the whole wide world. He has many years international experience in Commercials, films, and theatre. He has a degree in drama from Stellenbosch University (Stage and production management)

Roxane Litchia: Roxane is a gifted and respected sculptor in film, but she has also created award winning fine art pieces. She manages our fabrication work with class, and pays serious attention to detail. She studied at Wimbledon School of art. Degree in Technical arts and Special effects.
