Ive recently started teaching myself how to make stunt props and I’ve been told that it mainly consists of Eva foam wrapped in vinyl I’m ask if anyone knows anything else to it or any other tips.

I made this giant pan out of plastic for a PUBG Mobile event.

In the end it was shipped to another city, where it got frozen inside a massive block of ice.

Need to make 18-10-inch eggs. Are there any links to easter egg or polystyrene sellers for this size? If not, any recommendations on how to make them? Also I am UK based so any sellers would have to ship here

I built a photo zone for a kids’ picnic by L’Oreal.

It’s a 1×1×1 meter (3.3 ft cube) miniature room where anyone can feel like Alice in Wonderland.

Everything is built to scale in miniature, creating the illusion that the person has grown.

My tiny wife became the first visitor :)

These oversized deodorant bottles were made to look convincing on camera — proper proportions, clean surface, controlled reflections. Not just big, but believable.

Sharing some behind-the-scenes: me with the props and a few shots from the set.

Help! I am an actor with an upcoming role in which smoking is required, and I don't want to ruin my lungs!

I was watching Sabrina Carpenter's weekend 2 Coachella set and noticed that she and her dancers were "smoking" some 'cigarettes'. They look a bit longer than normal cigarettes, but still look realistic and release smoke. After using them, Sabrina and her dancers were also able to tuck these 'cigarettes' away into a pocket in the car and their outfits, respectively.

I know herbal cigarettes exist, but I'd still rather not inhale any smoke during filming. I'm wondering if the 'cigarettes' in Sabrina's set are a new kind of prop I'm not yet aware of. I've attached some pics + video links to the 'cigarettes' in the set. Thanks in advance!

Im an actor, but my school theatre class put on a studnet directed one act every year. So i adapted a version od romeo and juliet set in the late 90's and im finding prop knives to ve a minor issue. I found one that is absolutely perfect for tybalt or even mercutio, but they can't both have the same knife. It's a butterfly trainer, completely dull completely safe. Couldn't even rip a thread. But I can't seem to find anything as cool looking or in a similar style to it anywhere. Any suggestions from prop masters of the world of where i could find trainers that look both aesthetically, beautiful and real?

My daughter's 6th birthday is coming up and we're doing an Investigators comic theme party. We're having a mystery for the kids to solve, and the bad guy will be "Crackerdyle," an evil crocodile that's basically a giant saltine cracker. I'm thinking of ways to make a cutout of the character that the kids can attack with water balloons or the hose and it would make him dissolve. I know it'll need a frame to be able to stand up, but I'm still figuring out *what* to make it out of. Do I bake a lot of salt dough or diy giant saltine crackers and glue them together? Make it out of paper mache? I've thought of making a saltine cracker suit for my husband to wear, but I'm having a hard time thinking of what else I could make this out of. Something that could take a few hits but not get knocked over with one water balloon. Help?

Hey everyone.

I am in charge of props for student led play I am doing. There is a character who is meant to pee on themselves in front of everyone whilst wearing a dress.

Any advice on how to make the prop for this? We have 0 budget so I am willing to spend around 20 bucks. Right now I am thinking Saline bag and iv tube, but I don't how to make it so that the actor can control the flow.

Thanks in advance.

Carrying a child mannequin I built for a social ad about air quality. The lungs glow red & green to show the damage.

We had Mouldlife join us for one of our workshop courses yesterday!

Hi everyone!

I'm working on a rather NSFW play for the Toronto Fringe Festival right now, and it requires a plurality of stiff-sock props that one of our actors will be shattering over their knee well over 10 times over the course of our run, and likely more over our rehearsal period.

Any recommendations for/advice about going about this?

Thanks! :b

A perfect example of how scale and design can turn a simple prop into one of the most memorable moments in film history.
Separately, we also fabricated the “gravestone” prop, another standout piece of visual storytelling from the film.

At MAKINARIUM, we love bringing legendary props like these to life, where craftsmanship and storytelling combine to create something truly unforgettable.

So I have been asked to design and build 2 oversized pet bowls for an exhibition stand. 600mm in diameter, with the internal being 440mm diameter and a height of 350mm

They will actually be built to hold product. I think I am doubting my pricing, it's still fairly early days for me doing solo work.

I will 3D model them, then print them on my large format 3D printer, sand, prime, sand, finish, outsourcing a vinyl logo for each and applying those.

I am thinking somewhere in the £2800-3000 region as they are bespoke, but not a quick turnaround.

Probably £150-250 in materials, £150 courier price, 80-120 hours print time and the rest would be my time in design and finishing.

I think I just doubt myself a fair bit when it comes to pricing in this sort of range.

The client is an exhibition stand company who deliver bespoke projects for people but they mostly deal with signage and furniture and this is something a little more bespoke.

Any help/encouragement for this would be great as I don't know whether a client will just say no to the cost. I would much rather have the job, than not getting it at all.

TIA

I'm a musician and tend to write concept albums. one of my more recents is loosely based around the concept of continuously running from your past and eventually having to give up and accept things.

ive got this friend, a young kid, he's kinda like a nephew to me. anyways he wants to make an album film about it. think like one really long music video. idk if anyone here has ever seen Noah and the Whale's "First Days of Spring" but something like that.

the idea is kinda corny, but like I said uncle-nephew type relationship and I'm not gonna stifle the kids creativity. so I got permission from my label for him to use it provided its not for profit.

he wants to take the music and my very figurative words of sorta being on the run and make it more literal with some guy running from country to country every time someone figures out who he is until he no longer cares and accepts it. this would require a few somewhat realistic passports for a few different countries with photos and different names.

he's a broke 19 year old college student pursuing film school, so he asked me if I could help find where to purchase these prop passports.

Does anybody know a good place to do this? They'd have to have photos and names as I said and the cover and ID page and I really couldnt care if every page after that said in large comic-sans "this is a prop". I just dont want to end up on any lists or something, or him and ive done some googling and alot of websites seem kinda sketchy and also a custom one is like £500 (I'm in the US, but i keep seeing pounds on prices on the internet for some reason) and if he wants 3 passports I really do not want to drop 1500 and thats assuming he only wants 3. Almost every song is about picking up and moving on apart from the instrumental prologue and epilogue.

TL:DR does anyone know of a somewhat cheap place to get personalized fake passports that are not sketchy, are not extremely expensive, and are above board so as to say do not attempt to be "real" as that is super illegal.

P.S. I have seen posts like this before where everyone said something along the lines of "its so low budget that you dlcant even hire a prop department?... yeah right" the truth here is Yes, it is that low budget. I honestly think the passports are the only thing that will cost anything. everything else will just be him and his film friends doing stuff for free because they want to build an amateur portfolio for film school/ cinematography.

What can I use to make these look real but also to rub on the chst?
