Do you have more substantial or long term prop needs? Want something we don’t have ready, refurbished and tested?
Want to be able to ship it all overseas? Be free to ruin it on set? Or even have it totally destroyed on screen?
Need to cheaply show a huge array of machines for a workshop or collector in your script? Need a full arcade or a miniature of a full arcade rigged to show gaming footage in each machine until they blow up?
Well, we don’t handle explosives, but we can help you find anything else you need.
We can research, recommend, price compare and procure things like the following:
- Period appropriate gaming tech and screens, in specific condition (packaged, used, modded to work on modern screens, etc.)
- Replica or replacement cases, functioning, non-functioning, in various stages of assembly.
- Replica carts or emulator loaded carts, to do things like show a large ‘like new’ collection without the price tag, or to load your own homebrew onto the screen on original hardware. Carts can even be chip-free, simply a prop/display piece.
- Emulated and FPGA version consoles (like the Analogue Pocket) that can work behind the scenes to emulate your on-set action
- Screen modded devices, so your character’s Gameboy action shows up on video, despite the screen being near impossible to read to human eyes in real life.
- Replica boxes so your character can tear open a brand new Nintendo Entertainment System on Christmas eve 1986 – and then do it again and again for as many takes as you need.
- Hand painted shells, so you can match your character’s N64 to her pink CRT TV. Or for the background of your streaming set!
- Recordings to go with your props, like a specific scene of a game playthrough you want in the background. We don’t handle rights stuff though! Just recording it!
Got an idea? Just ask!
For many of these things, we have quality referrals we can send you directly to. We won’t try to middleman anything we can send you towards quicker – many of our suppliers have easy to use Etsy or Ebay stores!
For busy people or bigger productions, though, we can handle it all for you and make sure it’s there on set for your delivery date. And if need be, of course, we can set everything up and mind it for you the length of your production – just check out our rates after you’re done browsing the site!
