Fullerton based Grey Matter efx. uses state-of-the-art engineering to develop specialized underwater film equipment for the Rio Films documentary California Sea Lions- An Unforgettable Encounter.

Grey Matter efx. builds a specially designed Underwater Camera Housing for Orange County environmental film company Rio Films.

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) November 5, 2003 --- Grey Matter efx announces completion of a specially designed Underwater Camera Housing built for the local environmental film company Rio Films whos project is sponsored by the Friends of the Sea Lion in Laguna Beach. The director was in need of a one-of-a-kind housing to film underwater shots of sea lions at Seal Rock," a local hang-out for sea lions in Orange County," says Joe Cornell -- owner of Grey Matter efx. and the designer of the underwater equipment.

The director called for a uniquely designed housing that would have full mechanical controls for their Canon XL- 1 Frame-Digital film camera. Working with nominal financing, we were able to fully design and fabricate this special piece of equipment using state-of-the-art computer design methods and machining," says Joe.

Working on a very tight budget and unable to afford the retail price of a housing, long-time friend and director Alan De Herrera commissioned Joe at Grey Matter efx. to build a custom housing designed specifically for his digital camera. The footage thats been shot with the housing is phenomenal and we are both looking forward to screening this project at the local film festivals in Orange County next year," says De Herrera.

Grey Matter efx. is an emerging special effects company dedicated to providing physical effects for the entertainment industry. Combining 10 years of special effects experience, Josh Foster and Joe Cornell established Grey Matter efx. in 1999. Grey Matter efx. has successfully completed make-up and pyro FX for a action/drama pilot entitled The Black Hand", four mechanical laser-gun props and pyro for a futuristic action pilot entitled Central Enforcement", pyrotechnics for a California State Fullerton University student film entitled Concerning the Body Guard," along with other projects in the works.
