"In general terms a prop is an item handled by actors during a production. Hangar 18 Studios specializes in creating the props that are unobtainable, fantastic, or simply do not exist. Whether it range from historical replicas, high-tech weaponry, or representations from nature we can create anything that your imagination can conjure."

"Costuming the human form requires knowledge of anatomy and experience with specialized materials. When your project calls for an unorthodox approach our experience can assist with the solution. We apply artistic and scientific disciplines to create costumes and individual costume elements to fulfill the designers vision. We do not limit our approach, we can utilize urethane and silicone rubber molding and casting, traditional tailoring, electronics, vacuum-formed plastic, fiberglass, or just about anything!"

"Hangar 18 was given the opportunity to create armor, weapons, and props for Sandy Collora's upcoming feature "Hunter/Prey". Having worked with Sandy previously on "World's Finest" we couldn't wait to receive his designs for the film. When the artwork arrived we were totally blown away! We worked with Sandy on a daily basis on two different coasts, us East, him West. Through constant communication we implemented Sandy's suggestions until his designs were realized, and we were also given a lot of freedom to input our own creative license into certain artifacts. Sandy possesses a great design-sense that we really enjoy, it was a great experience collaborating with him and contributing to the vision of his feature film."

"Sculpting is a favorite artistic discipline at Hangar 18 Studios, and it is often accompanied by the need to make our own molds and castings. We tailor our usage of materials to the needs of the project and the desires of the client. If the client has concerns about budget restrictions, we can work with them to offer alternative solutions. Our professional artists can mold and cast your sculpture, or sculpt an artifact to your design. Large scale, small individual pieces, one casting or dozens, we can accommodate your needs."

"Scenery and scenic elements comprise a wide range of interpretation; is it sculpture, is it scenery, is it artwork? At Hangar 18 Studios it is all. From theatrical stage scenery, motion picture or television sets, themed retail environments, or residential treatments, we can build it, sculpt it, or paint it from start to finish or just fulfill the small niche in your production. Our crew has had an extensive background in the craft of scenery-building on projects for all of the major theme parks, Broadway plays, network television, films (indie and studio), and several private businesses."

"Special makeup effects go beyond traditional "beauty-makeup" means to create characters. The makeup effects are only a tool to enhance the performance of the actor. In the case of creatures, the special effect IS the actor. The opportunity to contribute our artistic skills to an artists performance is not taken lightly by the Hangar 18 crew. We go above and beyond to ensure the comfort of the performer while giving the production the very best visual representation of the character."

"The Hangar 18 crew draws upon their production experience to always be prepared and professional when working on location. Our self-sufficient artists put the needs of the production first and always maintain proper relations with neighboring crew and public alike. We look forward to the opportunity to assist with your production."
