Welcome to Rayzer Sharp FX

---

Rayshel is a Special effects (SFX) makeup artist, graphic designer, and animator for TV & film, specializing in horror and gore. After a 15-year career as a Paramedic, serving the city of Calgary & surrounding areas, she transitioned her full time career in Emergency services into the world of Special FX makeup, graphic design and animation bringing a deep understanding of real-life trauma to her craft. 

She trained at the Vancouver FX school and the Artists within Academy in Calgary earning certification in Advanced makeup, character design & creation, sculpting techniques, foam latex & silicone prosthetics, silicone prop FX, blood rigging & life casting, latex mask making, as well as digital sculpting and 3D printing. She is a recent graduate of the Toronto Film school where she earned a diploma in graphic design and animation/interactive media. Rayshel's next step is completing her bachelors of creative arts through Yorkville University in the fall of 2026. Her ability to create disturbingly realistic injuries, gruesome prosthetics, and 

spine-chilling creature effects makes her a new sought-after artist in the industry. 

Rayshel has worked on multiple independent films and an IATSE 212 film, Predator, within Alberta and participated in some small productions in Vancouver BC, where she had the opportunity to collaborate with her mentor and industry FX artist leader, Dallas Harvey. These experiences have allowed her to refine her skills alongside some of the best in the field. 

Based in Calgary, Alberta, Rayshel is committed to pushing boundaries of practical effects in film and television. Whether designing terrifying monsters, engineering complex blood rigs, or crafting cinematic-quality gore, she brings a new level of precision and creativity to every project.

Built in the trades and tested in the field, Ryan is a Projects & Construction Manager who understands construction from the ground up — not just from behind a desk.

He comes from a hands-on background in welding, pipefitting, and carpentry, with extensive experience across residential, commercial, and industrial building construction. Having worked directly on everything from custom homes and renovations to commercial builds and large-scale projects, Ryan understands how different job types come together in the real world.

That trade-based foundation shapes how he manages projects today: practical planning, clear communication, and solutions that work on site — not just on drawings. He’s known for keeping projects moving, coordinating trades effectively, and stepping in early to solve problems before they turn into delays.

His experience also extends into film and media production, where tight schedules, evolving scope, and strict safety requirements demand fast decision-making and adaptable construction solutions. By combining building construction expertise with welding, pipefitting, and project management, Ryan delivers structures that are safe, functional, and production-ready.

Whether coordinating trades, building specialty structures, or jumping in to fix what isn’t working, Ryan brings a get-it-done attitude and a clear understanding of how construction really works — because he’s done it himself.
