Film Production Equipment & Props

Film and TV Production Equipment, and themed props can be costly to purchase. Prop Hire and Technology equipment Hire allows you to trial different technology and prop options without large capital outlay.

Also, the finite/project nature of film and Television production work means that prop hire, or production technology equipment hire is a good fit, as there is no requirement for capex spend on expensive equipment or props which will only be used for a relatively short period of time.

When a production coordinator is sourcing technology equipment, they should consider short-term rental. With Hire Intelligence equipment can be rented for 1-day, up to 1-year. Equipment such as:

With regard to props, a production team may want to hire a few options to try out, until they find technology that works as a themed prop and matches the character, or backdrop styling and theme you’re seeking. Sometimes just one piece of technology might be hired, but the props buyer will have picked a variety of cases or bags for the tech to go in, which reveal something of the character.

How we can help Creative Industries?

We have some insight into the production process, and regularly work with creative agencies, tv studio personnel, media production agencies, freelancers, and production management teams. We are used to delivering to studio production locations, and know the television studio access requirements well.

With regard to video content editing, we specifically stock high powered workstations with suitable processing speeds for editing and rendering, and monitors with wide colour and brightness range.

To help with your prop hire selection, we can (to some extent) send details of assets – images from different angles/dimensions etc to a production assistant, or a production manager if that will help in prop choice. You can rent different pieces of technology for an office scene, or warehouse scene, or mobile devices which are the right touch for your character. We love the experience of seeing our assets on screen as part of a television programme, and we are proud to play a tiny role in supporting the production of some excellent tv drama.

If choosing technology for your industry professionals to use who are working with the production, or working in post-production, you can rent out a particular piece of film production equipment, and use the equipment until you really know whether it is what you have been looking for and if the features available are sufficient for the type of work you need to undertake. If you love the asset, and can see yourself using it for the longer term, then you can talk to us about purchasing of the device.

If you are a producer, or work in creative media industry but have not used Hire Intelligence equipment or skills, then please do ask your peers, or call and we can highlight our relevant experience with leading production companies, broadcaster organisations and list studio locations we are familiar with.

Case Studies

Film Production Equipment & Props - The Zero Theorem

Film Production Equipment & Props - The Zero Theorem

When Terry Gilliam’s production company wanted equipment as the centre piece for a futuristic set on the movie The Zero Theorem, they turned to Hire Intelligence. A large number of LED screens were required which would be built into a cylindrical set design for one of the central scenes in the film. The screens needed to be very modern, with the facility to accept multiple inputs.

Hire Intelligence provided a rental of 20 of the latest 40inch Samsung LED screens along with another 18 screens of a various smaller sizes. These were then shipped to Bucharest where they were combined and built into a structure which brought Gilliam’s dreams to life. 50 iPads, also delivered to the Romanian capital, completed the hire.

What our customers are saying

  • I am very satisfied from the service I received from Hire Intelligence London. I had hired a workstation for 7 months. I did not have a single problem with the workstation performance. Also, during this period their response to my requests was quick and satisfactory. At the end, when I returned the workstation, they settled the finance and returned my deposit very quickly. I can only strongly suggest this firm for your IT hire needs.
