Our Work
How we work with you:
-
Gumball crafts concept work that is creative and buildable, tailored to your builder’s tools and techniques. With 6 years of hands-on building experience in film and television, you will benefit from our practical approach, and attention to detail.
-
Gumball has the design and build experience to enable 3D printing’s amazing potential for the costume build process. We provide a turnkey build coordination service that allows you to focus on design, while we handle the technical details and scheduling that can make 3D printing a pain.
-
Gumball does the digital heavy lifting you need to complete your next project. We provide considered 3D design, tailored to your tools and build methods. We have experience designing for a wide variety of building styles, including 3 axis CNC machining, laser/waterjet cutting, 3D printing and hand building.
-
Many concept artists produce amazing visuals, but when the project progresses to the build phase, their work is translated into 3D software — this can increase the cost and timeline of every build. Gumball creates solid 3D models to minimize the amount of time spent rebuilding our models for manufacturing, saving production time and money.
