Impact Props. Master Chief Armor, A Field Day, And The Living With Brad Cut.

Film by Adam Grumbo

The Vimeo title on this file is Impact Props Master Chief Living With Brad. Impact Props, on its about page, dates the shop to 2012. Founders Brad Thompson and Eric Newgard build replica costumes and props with handcraft and later manufacturing tools. The company writes that it turns characters and designs into objects that can stand in a room, or walk a field.

Brad started the YouTube series Living With Chief in 2017. A SolidWorks Live session on February 11, 2020, with Brad Thompson and Ryan Lewis, said that series lifted the channel past 500,000 subscribers. Impact Props lists the episodes on impactprops.net/lwc, with Brad, Chief, Danial, Ryan, and Lester in the credits.

This cut is a field day with the armor on, not a shop-bench build. The camera holds the green Spartan suit, a gold-and-silver suit, a Humvee, and the people who walked the dry grass with them.

Who Hired The Camera

The green suit and a rifle against the sky. Film still at 1:25.
Four on the lot by container 45. Film still at 1:44.

A prop shop books a short so the suit can move. The brief here was Impact Props as Brad ran it that day: the tent camp, the armor, and the gags that sit next to the craft.

What The Camera Held

A kick at the wrecked wagon. Film still at 2:02.
A peace sign from the Humvee window. Film still at 2:30.

A man in a striped shirt steps through a torn canvas tent. Later he lies in the grass in a motorcycle helmet. Chief holds a frying pan over the visor. A low angle puts the green suit and a black rifle against a clear sky.

Four walk the lot past a red shipping container marked 45. A wrecked wagon sits on the grass. A peace sign comes from the Humvee passenger window, with Chief at the wheel. Later holds sit on gold shoulder plates at the fender, a crawl through the brush, and a helmet shadow on oriented-strand board.

What The Film Delivers

A crawl through the dry grass. Film still at 3:25.
A black helmet and a prop pistol. Film still at 3:44.

A costume film has to show the object and the day around it. Prop shops hire us when a suit needs a cut that can travel after the field is packed.
