FILM & TV PROPS
Prop Making for the Film & TV Industry
For realistic closeup props, scenery, working electronic devices, replicas or costume accessories that look like the real thing, we make it all. Our in-house prop makers are able to replicate your design or even create new concepts using any reference images you might have, whether it be a simple sketch through to a detailed working drawing. If you have a prop design, idea or character concept you would like help bringing to life, get in touch below!
CAPABILITIES
Our team utilise 3D scanning, resin/silicone casting, 3D printing and world-class painting/finishing to achieve your vision. Our background in product design, prototyping, engineering and electronics also allow us to produce working models, featuring complex mechanisms and function.
ASTRONAUT HELMET
Prop helmet for use in the production of a short film. Appropriate material selection and fine finishing were used to create the sense of realism needed for close-up photography. The final touch of adding signs of wear to the paintwork suggests a real artefact that’s travelled across the galaxy and back…
WORLD OF WARCRAFT - SHALAMAYNE SWORD
Built for the launch of their The War Within expansion pack, the Shalamayne sword prop embodies the fantastical scale and intricate details synonymous with weapons in the World of Warcraft universe. Despite the fearsome size and look, the blade was cast in fibreglass to be durable but lightweight enough for guests at the launch event to wield and to enjoy safely.
PRIME VIDEO - ‘THE DEVIL’S HOUR’ PLAYSET
Design and build of an imagined children’s playset, developed from a simple concept sketch provided by the series’ production team.
Using a combination of digital sculpting, high resolution 3D printing and hand painting, our model-making team were able to create the prop to look like a real toy. Complete with bespoke electronics the integrated LEDs illuminated reliably on cue.
The final playset props provided highly convincing, detailed close-up models for the actors to interact with on set.
‘PARTY GAMES’ PROP - YVONNE ARNAUD THEATRE
Development and production of a centerpiece prop for touring theatre production ‘Party Games’.
Designed to look like a futuristic smart speaker, the ‘Medianne’ prop featured addressable LED’s and an illuminating top diffuser. The prop was controllable on cue off stage to maximise timing and dramatic effect.
Acting as a robust, durable and bold leading role in the production, the prop showcases a fantastic combination of skills from electronics to fabrication.
STEAMPUNK RIFLE
Steampunk rifle prop complete with working bolt action for a film production starring Rufus Hound.
Copper and brass machined parts along with a host of other accessories were modded onto an existing air rifle, then decorated and weathered to look like the prop had been made decades prior.
DR WHO ACCESSORIES
A range of Dr. Who prop toys produced as part of an expanded ‘Dr Who’ universe, licensed by the BBC.
Once realised in 3D CAD, each part was printed, finished and meticulously painted to produce replicas indistinguishable from those in past series. The resulting models were robust, practical and featured integrated electronics supporting button-operated LEDs and authentic sound effects.
