Welcome to my website and corner of the internet. My name is Jim McKeown, and for the last 30 years I have been making & creating a wide selection of shapes for both Film and TV.               From a history of being a model maker, prop maker, Special Effects technician to working as a Head of department, the work is always very varied.

Each working day always brings creative challenges which usually ends up with folding time and finding new ways to achieve the brief in the time needed.  I have been fortunate enough to have worked on big and small productions with such great directors as Ridley Scott, Chris Cunningham, Andrew Stanton, Joe Johnson, Danny Boyle and Sam Mendes. The requests can be anything from specialised hand props, set decorating, jewellery, furniture, guns/weapons to stunt props to costumes.

A great deal of my work has been in feature film, and in the course of my career 

Other areas I have worked in are theatre, Childrens television series, work for artists or just plain strange requests from just answering the phone!. This high standard of work and finishes and are only possible with the collection of talented propmakers & painters  I am lucky enough to have on my team for each production. 

Have a look through the site and you will see such results from working in Propmaking, Modelmaking, Special Effects and Costume Departments and do get in touch if you have the need for a great team to make such items then do get in touch.

I do hope that you find this of interest 

All the best
