About this Event
Create Your Own Movie Prop Blaster — Parent + Kid Workshop (Los Angeles)
Looking for a fun, creative way to spend time with your kids—without screens?
In this hands-on workshop, parents and kids team up to design and build their own movie-style sci-fi blaster prop—just like the ones used in films. And they get to do it on a REAL Science Fiction movie set where they can pose for their own action photos after the class!
No experience needed—just imagination. Perfect for birthdays, summer activities, or a unique weekend outing.
Why Families Love This Class
This isn’t just arts and crafts—it’s a shared creative experience.
• Spend real, focused time together (no phones, no distractions)
• Help your kids use their imagination in new ways
• Learn how movie props are actually made
• Turn everyday materials into something incredible
It’s part creativity, part storytelling, and part movie magic.
What You’ll Do
Guided by a professional prop maker, you’ll transform a simple base toy into a film-ready sci-fi blaster.
Together, you’ll:
- Prep and build your base prop for durability
- Design your own unique style and color scheme
- Add parts, textures, and “found object” elements
- Learn how prop makers turn everyday items into cinematic pieces
- Paint and finish your blaster for a screen-ready look
- Pose with your new Blasters in front of our iconic sets in our amazing science fictin studio, keeping those meories intact forever!
Every blaster comes out completely unique—no two are the same!
Hands-On, Start to Finish
This is a fully guided, step-by-step experience.
Parents and kids each build their own blaster, working side-by-side and helping each other along the way.
By the end, you’ll leave with:
• A finished prop you’ll actually want to display or use for costumes
• New creative skills you can keep using at home
• A shared experience you’ll both remember
