Terry Sandin : Prototype This : Discovery Channel

Terry Sandin

Animatronics and Fabrication

A veteran special effects technician, Terry has worked on over 25 major Hollywood feature films, including Contact, Batman and Robin, The Passion of the Christ, Van Helsing and Apocalypto. With his talents in animatronics and special expertise in miniature mechanics, Terry excels at making imaginary seem real.

But when it comes to building,Terry's real strength is just making it happen. Again and again, he's proven to be a dynamo on the set, combining his skills as a mechanical wizard and an innovative solution finder.

While working furiously on a build, Terry is well known for his good-natured, but irreverent sense of humor, a finely honed skill for practical jokes and one of the best collections of anti-establishment, guilt-dodging
T-shirts on the West Coast. And how did he get the job on Prototype This? By telling the casting agent, "My name is Terry. I enjoy short walks to my car and pictures of the beach." He also sent the agent a picture of a "Tickle Me Elmo" doll in a pickle jar.
