Founded in 1994, ZFX has delivered a fresh perspective to the ancient craft of flying effects by using a dynamic style. ZFX quickly became an industry leader and the top flying effects company in the world, with offices on two continents.
Seventeen years ago we shook up the industry not just with our dynamic flying style but also our dynamic business model. Back then, options for service providers of flying effects were limited. Customer service and creativity were lacking. From inception, we grew on the foundation of making clients happy. At ZFX we have always considered ourselves a service provider and that means we handle of all the loose ends. Not you. Refreshing isn’t it?
Since then, ZFX has proudly grown with nearly 50 full-time employees around the globe who are experts in their craft including Flying Directors, Choreographers, Designers, and even Performers. Rising from a handful of dedicated craftsmen and artists, ZFX continues to maintain our small-company attitude by treating each client (and employee) as if they were our only. This allows us to focus on even the tiniest of details for each production whether it be a community theater or Broadway show. Sure, our competitors say the same thing (imitation is the best form of flattery!) But we mean it.
Prove it? Here’s some proof. Although we are not the largest flying effects provider (by sheer number of productions annually), we do, in fact, have the most full-time employees. This ensures the maximum focus per production. ZFX is also the only flying effects provider that has Flying Producers. What’s a Flying Producer? These dedicated people will help you produce the flying effects you envision. We don’t just have one or two producers, we have eight.
Need more proof? ZFX stands for Zealous Flying Effects. Yeah, Zealous!! As in…
zeal·ous [zel-uh’s]
adjective – full of, characterized by, or due to zeal; ardently active, devoted, or diligent, enthusiastic, keen, passionate, fervent, ardent, fanatical, obsession, eager.
That’s how we feel about what we do. Each of those full time employees we mentioned above lives for what they do. Who else in our industry can say that???
