Whether you’re considering a career in special effects and pyrotechnics, or just want to spend a peek behind the scenes, we provide extensive hands-on training at our STUNT RANCH facility in Austin, Texas.

 

If you’re fascinated with how huge fireballs, snowstorms, explosions, shooting and other effects are done, you’ll find out at Pyro School.

 

Just right for people who love action movies and the special effects that make them exciting, Pyro School covers all manner of physical effects… not the ones made by computer animation, but the ones that leave you smelling of diesel and gunpowder.

 

Spend a day immersed in the most exciting part of the movie industry!

 

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be a pyrotechnician or stuntman/woman, our Action Hero Training Day is the perfect option for you.  We’ve combined the best of our 1-day Pyro School and our Action Hero Training to create a one-of-a-kind experience you’ll never forget. Our team of professional stunt and special effects coordinators will take you through an action-packed day of explosions and adrenaline-filled stunts, teaching you the trade secrets of the special effects and stunt work you see everyday on TV and the big screen.  

 

We’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the movie industry, and now we’re giving you a chance to peek behind the scenes and be a part of the action. Experience the thrill of a high fall, fire at targets while zipping through the air, feel the heat from real explosions that you rig and detonate, and jump away from an exploding van just in time for some awesome photos.
