PROLIFX LOGO DESIGN- PHOTOSHOP
Ryan Banfield’s love of monsters and movie magic began at the age of five years old, after watching the film GHOSTBUSTERS and then later THE MONSTER SQUAD . The images in those films would create an impression on Ryan that later lit a path to his career in entertainment special effects and design. His many interests involved making home movies with friends and studying the art of film magic and theme park design. In 2016 he created THE HAUNTED ROSE HAUNTED ATTRACTION. This caught the attention of the local press and continues to be a local favorite attraction of haunt fans in Southern California year after year.
Ryan quickly established himself as a mold maker, fabricator and one of the top effects technicians in his field. He has since worked on feature films, including IRON MAN, JAMES CAMERON’S AVATAR, and TERMINATOR SALVATION. Banfield established PROliFX in 2002. Ryan worked with top-tier entertainment companies Knott’s Berry Farm , Stan Winston Studio, The Walt Disney Company and Cirque Du Soleil in the years that followed. Today Ryan Banfield is a leading designers in the entertainment industry.
