A collection of custom-made phantom heads, trauma effects, and silicone character builds created for film production, training simulations, and practical effects work.
Overview
Phantoms Heads is a showcase of custom-built silicone heads, severed body parts, trauma simulations, and character replicas developed by the Redo SFX team. Created for film productions, practical effects sequences, medical simulation, and specialist training environments, each piece combines sculpting, molding, painting, and finishing techniques to achieve maximum visual realism. From fresh injuries and post-trauma effects to aged skin textures and decomposed character designs, every build is tailored to its intended use. Whether designed for close-up cinematography, stunt sequences, or educational scenarios, these pieces are engineered to withstand scrutiny from both cameras and audiences while delivering convincing physical presence on set.







Every project begins with understanding the intended purpose of the build. Some heads are designed for dramatic close-up shots, others for practical effects sequences involving damage, prosthetic transitions, or medical demonstrations. This determines everything from material selection and internal structure to skin texture, coloration, and finishing details.
Practical effects only succeed when they work reliably in production conditions. These phantom heads are built not only to look realistic but also to perform under studio lighting, high-resolution cameras, and demanding shooting schedules. Their physical presence allows directors, cinematographers, and actors to interact with tangible effects, creating more convincing performances and reducing reliance on digital replacements. By combining durability with highly detailed finishing, the Redo SFX team delivers practical builds that integrate seamlessly into film productions, training scenarios, and specialist visual effects workflows.
