Meet Ben Eadie

Ben Eadie is an aeronautical engineering technologist turned practical special effects designer and movie prop maker. He is a high collared cape and monocle away from being a mad scientist. Ben has worked on movies like Ghostbusters: Afterlife, StarTrek Beyond, Maze Runner and Predator. Recently, Ben built a robotic Wilson for Tom Hanks that was used during the Cleveland Guardians home opener in 2022. He was also part of the team that built a robotic Thing to promote the Netflix show Wednesday. Ben is the guy productions turn to when everyone else tells them “that can’t be done”.
