planet of the apes

As it first appeared in the Pilot Episode (Escape from Tomorrow): The flip side of the disk (flat) from the second episode (The Gladiators): This prop is basically the trophy of the entire TV show because not only does it hold the hope of getting back home (Flight Record) but it also...

I am gathering everything to do a classic Planet of the Apes look soon. Oddly enough the makeup is not my real concern but coming in so many years after the buzz died down I am having trouble finding patterns or even designs of any kind for costumes. I am looking for a rough guideline to make...

This is my second attempt working with latex. I'm pleased with how this turned out. I'm having a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to whatever I create next.

Always wanted the Lawgiver statue from Planet of the Apes. I have never worked with clay before but thought I would try and make one of my own. I started off with a drawing on paper and worked from that for size. I cheated with the hands because I used the hands from a 12 inch Hasbro figure.

Showing the Stormtroopers who's the boss.

Talked a friend into putting on my Soldier ape costume for this years Oz Comic con. I think he did a fantastic job as one of my army.

Hey all! While technically, this may not be a Ghostbusters prop, we heard a lot of Jackie Wilson in our heads as we worked on this one! (We also had a few "You maniacs! You blew it up!" moments!) This started as a truckload of EPS foam, and eventually we turned that into a 20 foot tall bust...

I love going ape on the town

All done. It was a long time coming. This was my first outing in my homemade General Ursus costume. I got to scare some little kids so I guess they're telling me the costume looks ok :-)

Hello all, My name is Nate and this is my first attempt at replicating a character. A little background, I am a full-time graphic designer by profession (8 years and going strong), a screen printer by trade, and a sculptor by passion. I am also a big movie geek and have always been a...

This is the first wig I built from scratch. Very excited. It would have been better had it been real hair, but the packaging threw me off. I thought it said 100% human hair, but really it said 100% human hair quality. Anyway, with the help of a pressing iron, I managed to wield it to...

We've set up a new gallery on the site for some of the Planet of the Apes related displays we've done. From custom mannequins (essentially turing loose costumes into complete lifesize character statues) to smaller prop displays, we've worked on a bunch in the past and have added several new...

Working on one of my obsessions. I'm going to make a foam latex appliance out of this project.

A heads up for the tri-state-area crew, starting tomorrow (7/8) Film Forum is running a new 35mm print of the original Planet of the Apes for one week. The theater is a dive, but a new print will look primo. Info here.

So I was wondering what you guys thought about background items, like props and wardrobe that you would never find onscreen but obviously have a COA or comes from a prop house etc. Are they worth more than their actual cost just because they were used by someone associated with a certain movie...
