They also extend into prototype development and various display projects.M5 Industries has produced special effects for many commercials, such as a motorized 7 Up soft drink vending machine that shoots soda cans at people and a remote-controlled shoe for Nike.M5 emerged around 1996, after Jamie Hyneman, manager of Colossal Pictures' model shop, took over the facility.
