Film Props
Film Props from the Sci-Fi film

by The Obsidian Collective

Filmed in the Outer Banks of North Carolina!

Press Release 09/08/09

For the film production of Sol, Acme was hired to create the props that are so important to a science fiction film. The list included the creation of a portion of an old wrecked spaceship (which is buried in the sand), a slipgate time portal, several weapons, gold coins, tent screenprints, a telescope, & satellite boxes. We can't wait to see them on the big screen!

   
 

The hull of the ship supports the upper wing. More damage is yet to be done!

 
   

The laser cannon sits atop the ship's wing.

 
     
 

The'hero' laser gun was created from wood, plexiglass, and other bits.

     

The scanner recorder not only lights up, but houses an iPhone so that the crew can utlilize the video screen in real-time.

 
     

The rudimentary crossbow was built to look as though it was pieced together from the shipwreck. It really works!

 

This telescope plays a pivotal role in the plot, and had to be completely tricked out with all of the latest technology, including holo-screen.

     
 

The satellite communications box started out as an empty fuel cell & turned into...

     
 

The coins were created to look like this original piece, with a more modern feel.

     

Each tent was hand screenprinted with the Sol logo.
