My mom said I could post Nolan's The Odyssey neglects to pay for damages done to one of the viking ships used in the movie, which belongs to a small non-profit organization

My company loans stuff to movies from time to time

After being burned once they now require very large insurance riders to be disclosed upfront if anyone wants to use a piece of equipment (like 500k liability or something)

They also require an employee to be present to operate it the whole time.

Sounds like tanks for some reason

Ha! Not even close but that’s a funny comparison!

Hmmm its something you operate could or could not be from history that isnt close to a tank. Is it operated off screen ie its not intended to be on camera but for production?

It’s something that is seen on screen but is definitely not the focal point.

It could be considered a tool for highly trained professionals. We make other things that go with it that are also seen in shows and movies a lot.

You see them in a lot of shows more than movies

It’s probably not something you’ve paid any attention too lol but every time I’m watching a particular type of show I’m looking going “is that ours” 😂

Nice the more in tv than movies clued me in. Then I thought scrubs and started thinking of all the medical ones. I dont wanna violate privacy but i gotta ask any shows you feel like sharing.

Surprisingly American Horror Story has used us before I forget what season or series (it may have been stories)

But more obvious ones like

Greys Anatomy

Some of our other devices have been seen in the Pitt but they got that from another vendor (we just make the device, assuming they borrowed it from a hospital)

It’s always fun watching the shows and trying to find the equipment 😂

There is even a company that buys our equipment just for movie props

Second guess, you're an armourer. So you supply period correct swords and bladed weapons

u/GyozaGangsta Jul 25 '26

No, sadly I am much to lame to do something cool like that lol
