One of the most distinguishing things that make any video better are professionally designed props, a complementary set, and the appropriate wardrobe.
Props
VMI has a broad selection of props in stock for a variety of subjects. But frequently we are called on to design and make a unique prop.
The only limit is “imagination.” We have fabricated guitars, books, posters, spears, guns, bodies, cars, cement tombstones and more. Since we know video, we know what will look good on camera. Our capabilities include woodworking, metal shop, welding, fiberglass, structural foam carving & construction, cardboard, molding, and painting & finishing – just to name some of the most popular ones.
Sets
A set can be as simple as a chair with a tree in the background or as complex as an old western saloon.
Footage using a fake or unnatural looking set can rarely be salvaged. Unless it is intentional, the video or film will be lacking.
Sure there are big budget sets literally costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. That’s not what we are talking about. We will work within your budget to get a set that will match the quality of your film or video.
We have many set items available from backdrops and green screens, a live stage show set up to a old western Marshal’s office. For this and a great outdoor location see: Spirit of Dixie
Wardrobe
It is often difficult to find all the right clothing for a film or video.
We can save you time and money by supplying something from our Wardrobe and Costume department. We have the basics such as dresses, shorts, pants, and shoes. But it gets extreme with for example a purple monkey costume or the Joker costume. We have lots of wigs, masks and matching props.
