ART. ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE.

Los Angeles-based Romaire Studios, Inc. (RS) is one of the foremost providers of live-action creatures, characters and animated/non-animated props for the worldwide entertainment industry.

Formed in 2000 by Emmy-Award winning artist Lee Romaire, RS leverages Lee’s sophisticated artistic eye and passion for realism and performance.

RS originated as a boutique creature and character company, providing make-up, puppets and special effects for movies, TV and commercials. As we grew, RS secured working relationships with some of the biggest live-action entertainment companies in the world.

A decade ago, we set an aesthetic standard for the theme park industry by providing movie-quality realism to theme park animatronic human figures.

Today, Romaire Studios continues as an innovation leader because we bring art and technology to life.
