M5 Industries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
M5 Industries (M5i) is a visual effects company located in San Francisco, California whose primary focus is special effects props for commercials and film, stop motion animation, and animatronic puppets. They also extend into prototype development and various display projects.
M5 Industries has produced special effects for many commercials, such as a motorized 7 Up machine that shoots soda cans at people and a remote-controlled shoe for Nike. The company's previous works date back to The Right Stuff (1983).
The company was founded by Jamie Hyneman, co-host of MythBusters with Adam Savage on the Discovery Channel. The show is taped primarily in the M5 shop.
The name M5 is a misnomer. The company was originally intended to be named after MI6 which provided James Bond with his gadgets in the movies.[1]
