One thing that separates our film from others is the use of set props. Set props are props that aren't interacted with by the actors, but are there to decorate the set and make it that much more believable. We strive for detail and try to make everything in place look like it belongs there. Little things such as fire extinguishers, first aid kits, signs, and maps are things that you would expect to see in reality, so why not put them on the set?

Occasionally we'll get luck yand simply stumble across a prop that we can get a lot of use out of. Other prop ideas come from looking at what actual laboratories and military facilities have, and making sure that we accurately depict those little details. Many of the props are made from scap materials by all of us - especially some of the things in the research labs.

First Aid Kit

When it comes to firearms for the USF, we get airsoft guns from various retailers. We try to find bargains, but will often sacrifice a bit of extra money if it means getting a higher quality weapon that looks and functions like its real-world counterpart. One example is the M79 Grenade Launcher, which loads with a shell (seen to the right) and actually discharges with a satisfying "thump" and puff of smoke.

You might find yourself watching our film and trying to find all of the little details in the backround. Of course, keep an eye out for nods to the Resident Evil series, such as First Aid sprays or healing herbs, as well as Umbrella Corporation signs and decor.
