Practical / Vintage
Equal parts props & lighting.
Whether you are filming a 1940s film reel, or a modern-day cinema…
We can help.
Vintage Film:
We can offer fully working film projectors of various time periods for use as practical or static props on your production. Ideal for close-ups, these machines show off the moving components and the technology of their time period. From Super-8 domestic projectors right up to full size 35mm cinema units with carbon arc illumination, plus accessories and film print to complete the picture.

Modern Digital:
Up-to-date BARCO digital projectors, these are reliable, flexible, and provide up to 40,000 lumens of brightness, as well as 4K resolution picture and clarity of colour. The image is fully adjustable via our control desk, allowing for on-the-fly changes. Perfect for either a contemporary film shoot, or one where the projector is out of shot or not visible (eg. in a cinema).

Modern & Vintage in One:
The best of both worlds - we are able to encase a compact digital projector inside of a fake 35mm film projector, allowing you to get the ease of use and brightness of modern projection, while maintaining the illusion of a vintage setting. Ideal for situations where the projector remains mostly in the shadows, dimly lit, and only visible in medium / wide shots.
