Sure, we all have a good laugh when we’re watching movies from the early 90s and the character pulls out a cell phone the size of his head or uses a computer that takes up half a wall. It’s all part of setting the scene. But where do those sometimes hilariously dated computers come from?

They were probably rentals.

Film prop rentals are the best way to create a realistic home or office scene on the screen. Renting can solve the problem of trying to create a 1960s office space, but 30 years later. Let’s say you need a computer classroom filled with the candy-coloured iMacs for a late 90s scene – buying them for a few days of use probably isn’t worth the cost and effort. Renting makes it easy.

It makes a lot of economic sense to rent, especially with technology changing at such a constant and rapid pace. Audiences can recognize whether that’s a Macbook or a Macbook Pro and a rental company will help find which is right for you.

Renting may also be the solution for any of your behind-the-scenes needs. A fully-equipped suite can be set up and taken down as required, with technical assistance available around the clock.

On screen or off screen, film industry computer renting is an efficient and cost effective way to go.

That’s a wrap.
