BENEFITS OF HIRING A MANIKIN
Special Action Manikins (S.A.M.) design and make fully articulated, reactional and ultra realistic manikins for Film and TV. Silicon heads with hair punched hair ensure added realism.
Recognised as an industry standard with credits such as Fast 10, Mobland, Hobbs & Shaw, Star Wars…..
Our manikins have many uses: Freestanding, water work, high falls, impact, cadavers, vehicle work, and much more.
We stock a vast range of male, female and child manikins, with interchangeable heads, which can be altered to match an artists exact height and size.
Bespoke manikins can also be made.
Special Action Manikins can realistically link frame capture from physical action to visual effects, providing a connection for a sequence or providing their own ‘performance’.
S.A.M’s out perform and replace the traditional foam and wire stunt dummy.

JASON WHITE
Action Director & Manikin Designer
Jason White, a veteran of the British Stunt Register since 1982, is one of the UK’s most respected Action Directors and Stunt Co-ordinators, with decades of experience working across film, television, and live productions. Over years of performing and designing complex stunt sequences, Jason recognised a clear gap in the industry - the need for a realistic, safe, and fully believable stunt dummy that could convincingly replace live performers in high-risk or logistically demanding scenes.
Drawing on his extensive on-set experience, Jason began developing a new generation of action manikins - fully articulated, reactional, and self-supporting figures capable of replicating genuine human motion and body weight. Each manikin is carefully engineered to perform under realistic stunt conditions, from controlled falls and impacts to precise positioning for camera and visual effects work.
Combining ultra-detailed silicone prosthetic design with individually hair-punched heads and limbs, these manikins achieve exceptional realism on screen and in still photography. Every detail - from muscle tone to facial texture - is crafted for authenticity, ensuring the audience cannot distinguish between performer and manikin in dynamic sequences.
Based at his studio in Hampshire, Jason and his team continue to refine and supply professional-grade stunt manikins and action dummies to productions across the UK and internationally, supporting directors, stunt teams, and SFX departments in achieving safer, more convincing results.
