Encom Main Server Panel - Tron: Ares

Set Decorator - Elizabeth Wilcox
Prop Master - Dean Eilertson

This piece is the focal point of the Encom server room and gateway into the Encom grid. The project was conceived and coordinated by prop master for the Tron Set Dec Dept.

The body of this panel was entirely CNC milled out of aluminum, with an anodized finish. Getting a look that can never quite be duplicated in paint. There was also a nice nod to HAL 9000 with central lens.

We got to make a Tron disc!
This modern take on the original Tron discs was made for Jeff Bridges reprising his role as Kevin Flynn in the new Tron Ares movie.

The concept for Flynn’s disc was created by Prop master Dean Eilertson who entrusted us with creating his vision.

Beyond the disc we worked closely with the films costume department to digitize and laser cut all the light windows throughout Flynn’s costume. We developed an efficient workflow for this process as we helped Costumes on numerous suits throughout production.

A very memorable project, that was awesome to see on the big screen!
And to top it all off we got to meet “the Dude”!

Under the Bridge on (In Canada). To tell the tragic story of Reena Virk the show needed to recreate 1997 Saanich, BC. The props team came to IRL on several occasions throughout filming for a variety of different badges and epaulettes needed to outfit the shows police department.

All badges and epaulettes were modelled in 3D here at IRL from photo reference provided. Creating the finals we’re achieved through a variety of methods from CNC machining, metal casting outsourced to jewellers, Sand casting in house, as well as 3D printed versions for non-hero characters.

Stunt / Lightweight Asphalt - Fire Country S1

Prop Master - Lynda Chapple

We tend to only post the hero builds on Instagram, but a significant part of what we do is meant to emulate the everyday world, albeit in a way that takes into consideration weight, feel and safety. Whether it be lightweight, rubber versions, stunt safe weapons or breakaways… a vast amount of knowledge and artistry come together to produce something as seeming ubiquitous as a piece of asphalt.

Annabeth’s Sword - Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Prop Masters - Dead Goodine and Michelle Hendriksen

Was in a bit of a Insta-hiatus when this show came out, but better late then never!
If you’ve ever been through the shop and seen our display cases, you know we like swords. So we were particularly excited when the props team on Percy Jackson asked us to fabricate this sword for one of the main characters.

As an added bonus this sword later showed up at the Percy Jackson Exhibit in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. (See last photos)

One of our favourite builds from the new “Dead Boy Detective” series recently released on .
Part of “The Sandman” universe, it’s based on a supernatural detective graphic novel, so lots of opportunities for creative builds. Besides the assembly of provided parts and a fantastic aged copper paint job on the hero prop… We also made multiple foam versions for a fight scene.

Satyr Horns for Augustus on the new Percy Jackson series.

A slight venture from our everyday work- IRL was asked to help the Make Up & Hair dept design and fabricate multiple sets of horns for the Augustus character. Working under the direction of and this was an exciting challenge creating a realistic look, while still considering all of the needs of the actor and application process.
