Post Date: 2/10/2015 A Blizzard Of Fake Snow At Thomas FX
Early in January we doubled the manufacturing capacity of our snow studio to keep up with strong customer demand. We have been working overtime, as late as 1:00 am some nights as well as some Saturdays, to fill orders for our Patented SNO-FX! fake snow products. This photo was taken on Saturday. It shows Thomas FX Owner, John Quee loading a USA-bound trailer with SNO-FX! Driving the forklift is the new Thomas FX Operations Manager, Brett Rafferty. Also shown in the photo is teamster Driver Bill Crivel. Bill is on the crew of The Hateful Eight and is picking up the movie's snow at Thomas FX then driving straight to the show's Colorado set. As a point of interest, Bill was also the personal driver for Richard Dean Anderson while he was filming the TV hit MacGyver in Vancouver. Thomas FX provided production supplies to the MacGyver shoot so having Bill driving for The Hateful Eight made it all seem like an old time reunion.

Post Date: 11/18/2014 World's Best Fake Snow Wins Third Patent
Several years ago SNO-FX! from Thomas FX was considered for an Academy Award nomination in the Science and Technology category. As it turns out, every special effects member of the Academy Awards selection committee had actually used fake snow from Thomas FX in their movie projects. Other types of fake snow used in film production are industrial products, such as white attic insulation, salt or flour, which are repurposed for use in films. SNO-FX! from Thomas FX is the only fake snow in the world invented and manufactured specifically for use in the movie industry. Our patents attest to the uniqueness of Thomas FX fake snow. Brilliant white in color, SNO-FX! comes in four unique flake sizes which can be used seperatly or in combination to create stunning snow effects. It looks and acts just like real snow, falling, drifting, blowing and forming cornices just like the real thing, As SNO-FX! is also non-static, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly, it is often used in environmentally sensitive locations. We also custom manufacture colored SNO-FX! as well as the popular black SNO-FX! a.k.a. BIO-ASH, which is in high demand as an alternative to artificial volcanic ash in television and movie production. Plan to use Thomas FX fake snow and/or BIO-ASH volcanic effects in your next production. Contact Us today

Post Date: 11/13/2012 Thomas FX Display Snow | Christmas Windows
Just as our busy Halloween retail season was wrapping up, we completed the manufacture and shipping of a large order of Thomas FX artificial display snow to the Aritzia chain of stores in the United States and Canada.
Last year Aritzia turned to Thomas FX for help decorating Christmas window displays in the new flagship store in Soho, New York. In 2011, we supplied Aritzia Designers with falling snow machines as well as a quantity of our eco-friendly biodegradable SNO-FX artificial snow flakes. Working closely with the Aritzia design team this year, we came up with a custom mixed snow product that was manufactured specifically for their needs. This year, every store in the Aritzia chain, throughout North America, will dress their windows with our biodegradable display snow, including both the Soho store and the new Broadway & Fifth Avenue store. Thomas FX is proud to be the supplier of choice for the prestigious Aritzia chain, and for many other high end retail stores in New York. Thank you Aritzia for placing your trust in us once again this year. We enjoy collaborating with your design team and we truly appreciate having another opportunity to help present your products to Christmas shoppers in an entertaining manner. Best wishes from all of us at Thomas FX for a successful and profitable Christmas retail season in 2012!

Post Date: 5/4/2012 1 1/4" Realistic Acrylic Ice Cubes - New Product
At Thomas FX we like to give our customers quality choices and are always on the lookout for new products.
Here is the latest addition to our Fake Ice & Icicles website catagory . . . 1 1/4" acrylic ice cubes. These artificial ice cubes are the most realistic cubes we have found . . . . so far. The edges of the cubes are partially rounded, just as the edges of real ice cubes melting in a glass would be. There are even air bubbles in the cubes, just like the air bubbles in real ice cubes. This is a nice addition to our established line of artificial ice cubes that include acrylic ice cubes measuring, 3/8" , 5/8" , 3/4" , 1" , and now 1 1/4" . We still manufacture our popular realistic rubber ice cubes that look like ice cubes that have just come out of your refrigerator . . . and they actually float! If you prefer, we can purchase a block of optically clear rubber ice that you can break into floating ice chunks or chips in sizes of your choice. In addition, we offer two sizes of acrylic ice chips for people who prefer a crushed ice look in their film production, photo shoot, live event, or store window display. Shop Online , or come into our North Vancouver store to view artificial snow and ice products in a fully appointed Snow & Ice Display room where three types of variable lighting can create a lighting environment similar to that which will exist on your set or display.
