Ron Cole

I am a New York based special effects artist in the area of practical (real world physical) puppets, props, miniatures, painting and whatever else it takes to make models and puppets come alive on film. I've worked in many different areas of the business, from TV shows feature and short films. TV commercials, special realistic props for print advertising and more.

My most notable list of credits include, 'The Back to the Future Ride' and the films 'Muppet's Treasure Island' & 'Sinbad The Fifth Voyage', TV ads including The Pillsbury Doughboy, Frito's Corn Chips and many others. I've been in the business for over 25 years now and it never gets boring.

Creating physical special effects is a job in which you've never 'done it all'. Every project brings new challenges to invent ways of creating things that are new and different.
