Mark Holt Special Effects


5' Rotax wind machine and exterior smoke machine used for mist scenes within the City of London



5' Rotax wind machine with 24" Mole fan



Unique collapsible wind machine, that can be used almost anywhere! It has been used on ice floes off Greenland for Shackleton and up the north face of the Igor for Touching the Void. 
It has two swappable heads (15 KW motor or Rotax petrol engine). The frame and cage unbolts and is transported on a purpose built trolley. The top part of the cage fits into the lower half to save on space.

The wind machines can be rigged with snow socks and the engines are all fitted with carburettor heaters
 for those extra chilly locations.
