SODA is a danish make-up fx studio run by Thomas Foldberg & Morten Jacobsen. We have worked together for many years, and in 2005 we formed the company SODA ApS. We have been very busy so far, creating everything from subtle old-age make-ups to flying infants.

Morten Jacobsen, a Joe Blasco and Dick Smith student, has worked as a professional make-up artist since 1987. In the beginning of his career, he did both straight make-up and effects, but has for many years done mostly special effects make-up.

Thomas Foldberg, has worked as a professional make-up artist since 1996 and has an extensive background in sculpting. Thomas has from the beginning of his career worked as a special effects make-up artist, and has also done work for artists and the toy industry.

Between us we have created make-up effects for more than 120 European feature films, including AntiChrist, Breaking The Waves, Dancer In The Dark, Adams Apples and Dear Wendy.

Lars von Triers new feature film "Antichrist", created quite an uproar at the Cannes Filmfestival - one of the reasons being our explicit make-up effects.
Time Magazine wrote:
"Among the effects you won't see in Star Trek (the sensitive reader may wish to skip the rest of this paragraph, or story): a brief glimpse of sexual penetration, the whacking of an erect penis by a plank, the snipping off of a clitoris, in surgical closeup, and the boring of a hole through a man's leg, to which a heavy grinding wheel is attached. (Though the lead actors gave their all to the movie, the closing credits list stunt doubles, body doubles and special-effects artists.)"

We have also worked on numerous commercials, tv-productions and stage plays. For a more complete resumé see our CREDITS section.
We also create very realistic transfer tattoos, and have done so for more that 20 feature films and TV productions.

In the top menu you will find more than 400 photos of our work - and there are many more to come. If you'd like to be notified when we update, we'll be happy to send you an e-mail.

You can also find us on Facebook as "Soda Aps · Make-up effects".


All the best,
Morten & Thomas
