FX Techs
In 1969 Thomas FX's founder, John Thomas, established himself as
Canada's first freelance special effects technician. In 1973 he
established our company as Thomas Special Effects, and the Canadian
special effects industry was born.
From 1973 until 1994, hundreds of FX Technicians were trained under
John's mentorship, and many who graduated from the company have gone on
to claim their place amongst the top special effects technicians in the
industry.
While John Thomas passed away in 1994, Betty Thomas continues to
head the firm that she and John built together as President & Board
Chair.
Underpinned by relationships that date back more than 30 years, Betty
Thomas often refers qualified technicians to film and television
projects as part of her commitment to provide exemplary customer
service, and the company's ongoing commitment to serve the industry that
John and Betty helped to build together.
Today, the Thomas FX Group continues to be recognized as a premier
supplier of special effects production supplies, custom breakaway glass,
snow products, pyrotechnics, equipment rentals, and constantly develops
new products for use by the industry, and by all who create unique
special effects.
