Our innovative engineering research and development company produces one-off prototypes of unique inventions for private collection.The main YouTube video series is called Make it Real, where we take fictional ideas from movies, comics, and video games -- and make real working prototypes. These prototypes are usually not commercially viable to produce at scale, or even feasible to sell at low quantities -- but at Hacksmith Entertainment LTD, we believe that all ideas are worth prototyping for the sake of innovation and pushing the envelope.Our work inspires hundreds of thousands of youth into STEM fields, as we show how cool it is -- to be an engineer. www.YouTube.com/c/theHacksmithwww.theHacksmith.ca
