The Orville Props

They do have some cool props.
I think their Phasers have a clean futuristic look and would love to make a replica.
I'm also tempted to 3D render this Comm-scanner.

Anyone know who is making the props and costumes for the show?
I haven't seen anything as of yet. Don't know if any company has picked this one up yet.

Joseph Porro is the costume designer.

It's from 'If the Stars Should Appear', episode 4.

Will you be doing a 3d Printed version and have a lighted screen and the Pop-up feature?
Since I've almost finished my Enterprise pop-up scanner kit, it shouldn't be too hard to do a Hero Orville CommScanner.
Stay tuned.

Some more screencaps. They've got these really nice looking translucent PADD-like devices in a couple of sizes. Kelly has this smaller one, and Pria has a more letter/A4 size one later in the episode. The translucent screen itself looks about half an inch thick when they're moving it about.
Commscanner with a different screen, doing some scanning:
Chief Newton's Commscanner is different, instead of the hexagon it has more buttons, and interestingly the buttons light up more when pressed (something I've noticed on other ship panels). I can't tell if it's CGI enhanced or they've actually got proper practical effects to do it.
Panels such as this. It could just be really well-timed animation, CGI effect, or practical light-up touchpanels. Anyone any clue?

Some great screenshots there, thanks.
I think 10mm thick acrylic for the pop-up section would be about right.
I also think clear acrylic lightly sanded with an 800 grade wet-dry sandpaper will give us a good replication of the Commscanner top section.
I'll try and get a 3D model done in the next couple of days.
A quick WIP 3D render of the model I'm working on for the Commscanner.

Screen capture:
The close-up looks as though the screens are active.
So they may be "blue/green screened" to show functionality?
The yellow half ring revolves counter clockwise around the center orange disc.

Maybe. But where would the screen portion go when pushed in?
It takes up a bit of room inside the body. You would also need a power supply battery and spring loaded mech. to push it up.
If the screens are OLED (very thin) maybe the electronics and battery could be in the lower portion of the body.
Even the pop up portion sometimes shows "screen" action as well.
That is why it may just be green/blue screen where the images are added in post production.
Added Note:
There may also be the possibility that there are more then one Comm/Scanners.
There could be several, each with there own unique functions.
One for the "pop up" function with glowing acrylic screen, another with a fully functional, back lighted touch panel
where the screen is permanently in the up position (for closeups) and others with blue/green screen panels and
a little sound effects, etc.
That way there would be plenty of room in the body if there was no spring and lever issue.

I'm going to start a separate thread for this Comm Scanner as I feel this thread is more of a general search for the many props featured in the series.
I've nearly finished the 3D model to possibly then offer kits.

Ill see if I can get some pics of the real prop for reference.
Someone close to me works on the set.
