Special FX, yes. But Chuy’s Bravo’s feet immortalized in bronze? No gag, just pure holiday gifting for the late night talk queen, Chelsea Handler. Proves to show there are no limits to the requests FX crafter, Anatomorphex, receives on any level. When owner Robert Devine got the call he stepped into action on the Handler special gift, a top secret maneuvering by her team just in time for the holidays. Within a short matter of days, Devine had laid Bravo’s feet in a cast and delivered the finished bronze as two separate foot weights.nnThe “little nugget” perfectly footed gift was presented to Handler who proudly shared it with her audience in one of her opening monologues this week, calling it “the best gift ever.” Revealing Bravo’s bronze feet, her comic guest panel also got in on the fun. From getting high-fives using the soles of the feet, to a playful handoff as the feet made rounds on the panel, the Bravo bronze took center stage on the national show.nn”Real, physical FX have a way of connecting with an audience in a very deep, visceral way,” states Devine, already an avid fan of the Handler show, “Chelsea Lately.” Hard to miss on camera was the connection felt by the host from her special gift. nnEnjoying years of successful growth, recognition, and worldwide demand, Devine has built his award-winning one-of-a-kind studio, Anatomorphex, into a leading production hub for all things, “practical FX.” With an emphasis in Animatronics, it has crafted FX for everything from feature films, television shows, commercials, and music videos, to special architectural commissions. Having amassed thousands of Special FX artifacts to its credit, the North Hollywood based studio continues to be a top go-to source for all things real/physical Special FX. To walk inside the hub, one is instantly taken by its amusement park vibe, exploding with beings and other pieces of every life form and size; also available for rental.nnAbout AnatomorphexnAnatomorphex has successfully morphed its presence onto the exclusive and specialized FX playing field, celebrating more than 25 years of leading craftsmanship.
