Creature Bionics

Welcome to Creature Bionics – Where Performance Meets Innovation

Founded by industry specialist Ace in February 2020, Creature Bionics began as a cutting-edge practical effects company focused on designing and building bespoke creature rigs. These high-performance rigs allowed actors to accurately replicate the skeletal structure and movement of specific creatures, bringing characters to life with unmatched realism.

But what started as a tool for physical transformation quickly evolved.

As Ace worked on major productions, he noticed a crucial gap in the industry — the lack of character development behind many CGI creatures. Leveraging his experience as a creature performer, he took the initiative to shape and refine the emotional and physical nuances of the characters he portrayed, drastically enhancing the overall performance.

Today, Creature Bionics is more than just a practical effects provider. It’s a performance-led creature development studio – combining rig technology, movement coaching, and deep character work to support directors, VFX teams, and performers in creating memorable, believable creatures for film, TV, and live entertainment.

From supplying custom rigs to leading hands-on workshops, and from character ideation to on-set creature performance, Creature Bionics is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in creature creation.
