Movie & Prop Industry

Unmatched Expertise

With years of experience in the film industry, our team has a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of prop production. We’ve worked with indie filmmakers and major studios alike, delivering props that have appeared in various productions.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Our facility houses the latest in 3D printing and CNC machining technology. This means we can bring the most complex designs to life with precision and speed that traditional methods can’t match.

Custom Solutions

Every film is unique, and so is every prop. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions; we tailor our services to meet the specific needs of your project, ensuring that each prop is a perfect fit for the world you’re creating.

Full-Scale Production

No matter the size of your production, we can handle it. Our team is equipped to manage orders of any volume, from a single hero prop to an entire arsenal for your epic battle scenes.

Attention to Detail

We know that sometimes, the smallest details make the biggest impact on the screen. Our team is obsessed with the finer points of every prop, ensuring that each one is not only functional but also carries the aesthetic and emotional weight it needs.

Collaborative Process

We pride ourselves on working in close collaboration with our clients. You’ll be involved at every stage of the process, from initial concepts to final delivery, ensuring that the end product is exactly what you envisioned.

Speed and Efficiency

Time is always of the essence in film production. We are committed to meeting your tightest deadlines without compromising on quality. Our processes are streamlined and efficient, allowing for quick turnarounds when you need them.

Sustainability

We believe in responsible manufacturing practices. Our processes are designed to minimize waste, and we continually seek out materials and methods that reduce our environmental impact.

Conceptualization

It begins with your vision. A prop starts as a concept, often a drawing or a detailed description in a script. Our team engages with your creative department to understand the nuances of the envisioned prop. We discuss its purpose in the story, the aesthetic requirements, and the practical considerations for its use on set.

Design and Prototyping

Next, our 3D artists and modelers transform sketches and ideas into detailed digital models. This is a collaborative stage where we go back and forth with you to tweak and refine the design. The goal is to ensure the digital model is a perfect representation of what you envision. Following this, a prototype is created. Prototyping is crucial as it provides a tangible item that can be evaluated for aesthetics, function, and feel.

Material Selection

Choosing the right material is pivotal. The choice depends on the prop’s required durability, flexibility, and visual characteristics. For instance, a sword that will be used in combat scenes must be strong yet safe for the actors, while a mystical amulet may require intricate details and specific color characteristics.

Manufacturing

Armed with the approved prototype, our manufacturing team begins the production process. If we’re using 3D printing, this is where our printers run almost non-stop, carefully layering materials to form the props. In the case of CNC machining, blocks of chosen materials are meticulously carved into the desired shapes. This stage may be repeated several times to create multiple copies of the prop.

Finishing

The raw prop is then handed over to our finishing team. They’re the magicians who add the colors, textures, and aging effects that give the prop its final, lifelike appearance. Their skills are crucial in ensuring the prop can withstand the scrutiny of high-definition cameras and the various lighting conditions on set.

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is integral to our process. Each prop is inspected to ensure it meets the predefined specifications. We conduct stress tests if the prop is to be used in stunts or action sequences. This stage guarantees that the props perform as needed when the cameras roll.

Logistics

The final step is getting the props to you. We pack each item with care to withstand the rigors of transport. Our logistics team works out the best way to ship your props to any location worldwide, ensuring they arrive on time and in pristine condition.
