I really enjoyed watching the Super 8 movie and was searching for some props I could add to my display......
First, there was only a cube available on shapeways:
Its a good looking cube, but not screen accurate.
The Argus Cube replicas in passive mode made by QMx are pretty cool:
Okay........thats nice so far, but the cubes felt alone and needed some paper props next to them :
I was able to print some faxes, pictures of the Argus Cube, an ID Card and so on with the help of some Super 8 viral sites (Gonna Be MINT! - SUPER 8 - At Cinemas Everywhere AUGUST 5 - ----- - Revalistic | Just another WordPress site and more
The Super 8 cameras used in the movie are cool props too - the camera used in the beginning of the movie can clearly be identified as an eumig MACRO SOUND 65 XL
I get a working one:
I identified the Kodak Film, they used for their zombie movie project:
and found a still intact Kodak Ektachrome 160 cartridge:
The second camara, after the first one broke, was identified as a Kodak Ektasound 140:
Again I bought one of these for cheap... just for my display, since it doesn´t work anymore:
I made some more paper props : the family photo, some polaroids and even the script, they might have used while filming on the train station:
believe me, making those polaroids was a pain in the *** , but the result was well worth it
On Joe´s desk you can see many more nice things, one of them is a vintage Bryan Ohio Tin Tool Box, that you can see on one of the viral sites (gonnabemint)
and in the movie:
I found one of these tin boxes on eBay:
I found and identified more items and will show them later, when there is some interest. thanks for looking
