I made a prop for Blue Beetle and it's in the trailer!

Sorry, I'm giddy about this! I was contacted by a set dresser for the film who asked me to make some metallic blue belts. She had seen my work online and liked my designs. I built two belts and shipped them off to their filming location. I assumed these MIGHT be slightly visible in the background of a scene ... if I was lucky. When the trailer for Blue Beetle dropped I noticed that one of my belts is IN the foreground and even gets a line from Blue Beetle himself as he's pointing at it: "It looks like Batman's stuff"! Presumably, one of Ted Kord's early designs!

Pretty cool! Trailer is below, the belt is visible at 2:33. And below are pics of the belts I sent them.

I bet you could have softer inward facing pouches on the inside of the belt as well as boxes on the outside.

possibly. This is just a costume belt, made to look good, not su much for functionally carrying things. All the belts I make have solid cast resin pouches for that reason. I want them to last a lifetime.

Congrats, thats amazing!

Watched the movie yesterday and it was really fun!

Your belt gets a few beats of screen time more than was shown in the trailer too - camera lingers on it a bit and Jaime handles it

 

[Valor]

Dang! That's awesome!
