Weird Things Repurposed….

1/20/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Foreground item:  An anti-molstation device known as a SONICGUARD. Designed for female joggers, the unit produces a 110DB siren shriek when activated.  Two of these were purchased on spec about 20 years ago, and have languished in inventory ever since.

Background item:  The same item…  recently repurposed… as a "radio detonator unit."  The slide-switch (which formally controlled a flashlight function)  "arms" the device (sliding the switch downward reveals a flashing LED indicator).  Pressing the adjacent pushbutton, causes the LED to stop flashing, and increase in brightness…  ostensively transmitting the detonation signal.


This kind of repurposing is fairly common plaice in prop building…  especially if your client is on a tight schedule and/or budget.  We always like to hang on to nondescript objects like the SONICGUARD, because of their utility.  Having interesting objects on hand that posses useful attributes (working switches, LEDs, battery chambers, etc.) can same valuable build time…  and keep costs down.

"Creative Repurposing" by the ARROW Prop Dept.

4/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
The ARROW Prop Department rented our simulated "Portable Encrypted Computer"  for inclusion in a recent episode.  Although the prop possessed operational LED status indicators, the LCD display is actually non-functional.

No problem.  Rather than "burning-in" an image in post production, they simply dropped a suitably sized notebook computer on top and voilà… an operational display.  Clever boys!

    We Need Your Input

    It's our goal to create an archive that showcases our prop building history.

    Our company, formally known as MOLNAR MOTION PICTURE PROPS, INC., has produced countless items since its creation in 1987. Much of our earliest prop builds still exist, and can be found in various prop rental houses, or in the hands of private collectors. 

    If you know the current whereabouts of, or can provide any production anecdotes pertaining to any of the items listed in the early posts, please let us know.  We will expand upon the archive on a ongoing basis as information becomes available.

    We appreciate your valuable contribution!
