Our Custom Video Prop Room
I just reorganized our prop/supply room today and saw some really random and funny things in there that we have for our custom shoots. Thought I’d share some of the more interesting items with you guys! Perhaps we can use something on your own custom video? 🙂
The Big Stuff
Let’s see….my favorite – a bounce house. This is something that we’ve had for awhile that we’ve never been able to use – but we’re dying to use it. Somebody please order a custom involving our bounce house. PLEASE! It’s never even come out of the box… I can see a messy scene happening in there, definitely some wrestling action, a really fun inflatable scene, etc. We have lots of other fun props like that for our custom videos: wrestling mats; exercise equipment; a massive roll of plastic sheeting for those super messy scenes; a “kiddie” pool.
We also keep a glass table on hand for specific shots (you know the ones), an air mattress for scenes that need a bed but not a bedroom set, and enough bedding to outfit a small hotel.
Wardrobe
Plenty of wardrobe items that we have fun with: tutus; nurse uniforms; French maid uniforms; liquid latex body paint; bustiers, corsets, sexy half cup bras, garter belts, stockings; crotchless panties; body stockings, teddies, gloves; tennis skirts; old clothing to destroy; head bands; costume jewelry; wrestler robes and belt; spandex pants; Kentucky Wildcat t-shirt, hat and sweat bands; pantyhose; school girl uniforms; skinny jeans; latex; LOTS of tightie whities for guys.
We stock multiple sizes in most categories because we work with performers of all body types. If your scene calls for something specific we don’t have, we source it ahead of time and include it in the quote. Clients who want very particular wardrobe (vintage pieces, specific brands, exact colors) sometimes ship us the items directly.
The Naughty Drawer
Many of our custom props and accessories are of the naughty type: double ended dongs; suction cup dildos, strap-ons; dildo “sword”, bejeweled butt plugs; an industrial sized bottle of lube; baby wipes (we should buy stock in em!); douche; enemas; ball gags; nipple clamps; o-ring slave collars; canes.
We’ve built up the BDSM collection over the years based on what clients actually request. Restraints, spreader bars, blindfolds, paddles, floggers, rope in multiple colors and lengths. For medical scenes, we keep stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, lab coats, speculums, and exam gloves. It’s a surprisingly complete setup for a room that started with a bag of balloons and some pantyhose.
Shoes and Footwear
Plenty of shoes and footwear for our custom videos: Converse, Keds, knee high boots, high heels, ankle socks, scrunch socks, no-show socks. Foot fetish and sock fetish clients tend to have very specific preferences, so we keep a range and confirm choices during pre-production.
Action Props
Wildly entertaining action props such as: hippity-hoppity balls; pogo stick; jump ropes; hula hoop; life size giraffe stuffie; sledgehammer; feather duster; prop gun thigh holster; twirling baton; Polaroid camera; inflatable pool toys; balloons; spray body glitter; a pink beach cruiser bike; hand cuffs; beach balls; latex medical gloves; plush toys; coloring books and crayons; sparklers.
Some of these have been used exactly once for a very specific custom and then just… stayed. The pink beach cruiser has been in three scenes. The life size giraffe has been in zero but we keep it because it makes people smile when they walk in.
Production Supplies
Practical items for production: Metamucil to make slime; food coloring; various glass containers and pitchers; a glass table; bedding; canister vacuum; blender; air mattress; picnic blanket; ashtray; a backpack; Sharpies; black nail polish and lots of camera/video equipment, of course.
More random props like coconut oil; cigarettes; spray bottles; rope; prop/rubber weapons – knife, gun, silencer; restraints; baby oil; hair ties; fishnets; a hot pink shopping cart; tennis racket; nail clippers; eyelash glue; eyelashes; misc. makeup; ping pong balls and racquetballs; lab coats; candles.
And finally, with all the messes we make we certainly need things like: towels; alcohol wipes; aprons; hand sanitizer; Hibiclens; LOTS of paper towels and cleaning supplies; shop-vac. The shop-vac is probably our most-used piece of equipment after the cameras. Wet and messy scenes are no joke when it comes to cleanup.
Why This Matters for Your Custom
The prop room means most standard requests don’t add anything to your quote. If your scene needs a nurse outfit, handcuffs, a specific type of sock, balloons, or medical equipment, we probably already have it. That keeps your costs down and means we can move faster on production.
If any of these spark an idea for a custom, let us know. And if your scene needs something we don’t have, we’ll source it.
