Props are a core production element in the Sensa studio. We design them from scratch, on-brand and into your art direction, from period vehicles to bespoke set dressing, with the granular control of a real prop department and none of the sourcing.
Module 04 · the details, designed
Real props mean sourcing, building and endless coordination. We design them from scratch, straight into your art direction.
In a live production, props are a hunt: tracking down the right period car, building a bespoke piece, hiring a prop department and coordinating every detail with the art direction. It is slow, costly, and rarely a perfect match.
We create props from scratch to match the art direction and the whole mood and tone of the production, from period motor vehicles to bespoke gravestones, signage and set dressing. Every prop arrives on-brand and on-concept, consistent across every shot, and ready to place in any scene.
01
Step 01 · Designed into the art direction
Designed into your world, not dropped in.
Every prop is created to match the project's art direction, mood and tone from the very first frame, part of one cohesive world rather than something sourced to fit.
Whatever the brief calls for, period, modern or fantastical, the prop is built to belong in it, and it can carry real story weight: a hero object that means something, not just background dressing.

Step 02 · Granular control
Granular control over every detail.
Just like products, props give you precise control: inject accurate text straight onto the prop, customise the material and finish, the size and form, and accentuate the key features that matter to the story.
From the lettering on a number plate to the patina on a metal surface, every detail is yours to direct, and it stays accurate to the period and the world.

Step 03 · Mechanism
It works the way it should.
A prop is not just how it looks, it is how it operates. Feed in a simple phone video of the real object in action, and we capture exactly how it moves, tag that motion to the prop, and carry it through to the final render, so it behaves true to life on screen.
INPUT
Phone clip
A short video of the real object in action.
CAPTURE
Motion tagged
How it moves and works is read, then tagged to the prop.
OUTPUT
Carried to render
The prop operates true to life in the final film.
Same prop, different story
Age it, wear it, or add to it.
Like every Sensa production element, props have Looks. Age a prop across decades, weather it, or add new features, all while it stays the same prop at its core. The story changes; the object holds.

Brand integration
Branded props, exact to spec.
Props are integral to brands and to the locations we recreate. Filming a hotel promo, or an interview set in a client's venue? The entire prop department, the cutlery, the stemware, every branded item, is customised to their exact specification.
So the brand details behind a location or service stay completely consistent and fully integrated into the production.
The result
Every prop, on-brand and on-concept. Built, not borrowed.
From a hero object that carries the story to the smallest piece of set dressing, your props are designed into the film: accurate, consistent and entirely yours.
