Special Effects (SFX)

At MaxFX, we deliver professional special effects across Tasmania, designing every moment with the same structure and intent as a carefully produced soundtrack. From stage effects hire for intimate performances to large-scale festivals and high-energy productions, our effects are layered, paced, and engineered to build atmosphere, heighten emotion, and ensure every cue lands with impact—from the opening moment to the final beat.

Set the tone with stage flames, spark fountains, and spark jets, then lift the energy with CO₂ jets and handheld CO₂ guns for explosive drops and crowd-driven moments. Seal the memory with confetti cannons, snow machines, or atmospheric finales, while controlled use of haze and fog effects (where suitable) enhances lighting beams and ensures every effect reads cleanly and dramatically on camera. These effects are ideal for concerts, weddings, corporate events, theatre, sporting activations, and festivals throughout Launceston, Hobart, Devonport, Burnie, and regional Tasmania. 

All special effects are delivered by licensed operators using DMX and timecode programming or live console operation, allowing for precise musical synchronisation, smooth transitions, and natural energy progression throughout your show. As part of our full event production Tasmania capability, we manage effect placement, exclusion zones, risk assessments, venue and council liaison, and all required approvals—so your production remains safe, compliant, and stress-free from planning through pack-down. 

The result is a camera-ready, professionally executed special effects experience that looks powerful in person and on screen—intentional, controlled, and unforgettable.
