Lady Liberty is over 10 feet tall, and has a lighted flame on the torch as well as white LED lighting in the crown behind the observation openings. The base is made of wood and styrofoam. The actual statue is made of papier-mache over a wood skeleton. There are also some old mannequin arms and head.

This took about 80 hours to complete, and was built for a prop rental company. It is made so that just the statue without the base can be displayed if there is not enough ceiling height to accomodate the full prop.

               
This tube of lipstick is nearly 5 feet tall and has a removable cover. The spelling of the word "Lucious" on the side is intentionally incorrect. (Brand name)

This prop was custom made to order in one week from styrofoam, wood, and cardboard tube.

               
An ancient 8 foot mastadon tusk and a 5 foot long block of stone from the Pyramid of Giza complete with hand painted heiroglyps are seen here in the green screen studio at Milwaukee's "Discovery World Museum". These items are highly detailed as they were shot in HD Video for a corporate image project by a local emmy award winning production company.

Items were custom made to order in less than two weeks from styrofoam, antiqued and hand painted. The stone block even has details like chipped edges and authentic imagery.

          

This "Mine Shaft Entrance" prop was created for an event decor retal company to their specifications. 11' wide by 8' high, made of two easily transported pcs of styrofoam this prop looks as if you could walk right down the wood beam supported tunnel even though the entire prop is only 2 feet thick front to back. It even has moss covered rocks!

Co-creator Ben Lowery can be seen working on the black base coat in the 3rd image.

          
This 6' tall "Gold Award Statue" was sculpted by hand from a single solid block of expanded styrofoam. After sanding the styro for a smooth finish it was coated in several layers of a hardening compound to help protect the surface and allow for easier painting. A round base was crafted from large tubing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Building 3 dimensional props for film and video production as well as theater is a difficult service to find. Very few people do it and even fewer are truly good at it. I have the experience and expertise to create a custom prop for your project.  From concept to design and all the way through the project I will work with you to ensure that you get what you need.

The most important quality about the company you hire to do custom creation work is not just talent, but how well they pre-qualify you, the client. That is, do they ask you the right questions to make sure that the product they deliver is going to fulfill all of your needs? I know what questions to ask, and I know if something is outside my scope of capabilities. I will never take on a project unless I am sure I can deliver the highest quality while staying within your budget. Honesty with you the client is the only way to grow a business relationship.

I am a detail freak and my props will shine even under the blazing scrutiny of High Definition Video or Film. I work with a bevy of different materials and can often times complete "rush" projects depending on my schedule.

Call me if you have an idea but don't know if it's cost effective, practical, or even possible. My time on the phone with you is always free of charge.
