In 2005 Izzat made a large range of props and stunt versions of the props for the TV drama ‘The Lost Children’.
The props featured throughout the series, which was shot on location in the Wellington region.
During our first year of operation, Izzat worked with colleagues from the film/TV industry on this TV drama. Effectively Izzat Design was the Prop department for Big House Productions, fabricating, moulding, casting and painting a range of costume, hand, and stunt props:
Butterfly Brooch x2 and x2 Stand-in/ Stunt copies
Trivet x 2 + “S” hooks x 6
Tane’s Tiaha + Stunt
Bone Patu (Breaks in two)
Cast Chickens
Stunt/ Soft Bed warmer
Faux Greenstone jewelry
Meg’s Stunt /soft walking stick (Branch)
Rudimentary Maori cutting tool
Faux Greenstone Mere
Since this job, we have had a call for similar types and styles of the fake Maori weapons we created for The Lost Children. We continue to develop new and inventive ways of replicating objects for TV props to museum collection items.
Although every client and their needs are unique, our techniques for realization are consistent. We always take pride and care in our work, a satisfied customer is our goal.
