Hollywood is the capital of the Entertainment Industry. The labor base for entertainment-based art is unsurpassed in quality, speed, and look. Nowhere else in the world can offer such a wide variety of talent. That's why Animal Makers and Bould Productions are located here.
If your restaurant, bar, hotel, casino, family entertainment center, or private collection demands this high level of work, then you must crew out of Hollywood. Today's movies, television and games offer the public beautiful graphics and animation. What do they see when they visit you?
Customers just like you have been seeking out this level of art, and actually changed our business. Now, with the Internet making a search so much easier, you don't have to be a "Hollywood Insider" to tap this talent base.
Animal Makers was founded as an artistic fabricator of realistic animals. The commercial art skills, equipment, and supplies actually support all types of artworks. This includes overscale, underscale, humans, guns, props, skeletons, and many other things that need to look real.
Take a minute to enjoy some of the work we have done in the past. Perhaps there is something we could fabricate for you?

Oversized Animatronic Rooster
This amazing display model was created for the Las Vegas Hotels and Casinos. Originally used as a celebration of the Chinese New year. It is completely electronically driven and programmed to your taste. The internal speakers broadcast the sounds and scripts you want.
Not surprisingly, this figure entertained thousands of visitors and even was featured in hundreds of online photographs taken at the casino. Over 20,000 individual feathers are used to create this one of a kind model. The internal servos are fan-cooled and were originally developed for the military to fly unmanned aircraft over enemy lines.
This figure stands ten feet tall on a three foot tall base for a total of thirteen feet tall. |

Oversized Animatronic Duracell Bunny
The World's Largest Corporate Mascot Ever Built.
Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
An amazing set of four animatronic pink bunnies were created for touring South America. One unusual part of the design is the control podium that allows visitors (including young children) to actually control the massive mascot's movements. These movements can be seen from miles away.
See hundreds of photos of people posing in front of this bunny at the FIFA Fan Fest in Germany.
