Roundtable Productions, LLC – Orlando based props and special effects shop

Roundtable recently provided some "high caliber" effects for the TV show Forensic Files. In an episode entitled "All That Glitters", a man chases down a young girl in a high speed car chase that ends when he fires several rounds into her car with and AK-47 assault rifle. We provided both blank fire and non-firing AK-47's for the actor and stunt driver to use. As well as, spark hits and glass breaking shots to simulate real gunfire. Throw in a little blood and all in all it was quite a fun shoot. You can watch the episode and others we've provided effects for on TrueTv.

Another successful year of The Necro has come and gone. Once again all of the terrain models we've built were laid out, played on, and devastated by total warfare for three days. Everyone attending the event had a blast, even those that were on the wrong end of the dice rolls and saw the wrong end of the devastation. This year a new event was added, The Lord of the Rings Miniature Game, which gave us an opportunity to create a fourth new and unique Necro trophy.

This weekend we attended the FX International Show 2009 the toys, comics, and collectables convention held in Orlando, FL.

The look of Roundtable's website will be changing! To get a fresh new look for the new year we are having the whole site redesigned. I know its a long time coming. But, we will now have many more pictures and much more video content to show you what we've been up to. So look forward to a world of new things to see and explore.

You may have noticed that we are at a new domain name (of course, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this). Do to a little slip up we have temporarily lost our original site name, roundtable-productions.com, and will be using the new roundtableprops.com for the time being. Other than that its business as usual. So much else has been happening that I just don't have the time to talk about it now. But, soon....

I know it has been a while since I last updated my blog page but, it has been due to the tremendously busy schedule I've had due to all the work we've been doing. Several jobs for Disney's Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and various other venues on Disney property.

Roundtable provided Production Design, Art Direction, Props, Set Dressing and even provided a live animal for a Civil War era film directed by JJ Ruscella entitled "Julianne" in December.

We have begun work on this year's new batch of gaming terrain for our friends at the Necro. Check out their plans for 2008 at www.thenecro.com and see what's in store for the terrain right here as we post updates, photos, and video.

Yes, it was another successful event. For the fourth year running Roundtable has provided quality miniature terrain for the gaming tournament held annually in Orlando, FL called the Necronomicon or just Necro for short. This year we provided miniatures for 41 out of the 60 tables of fantasy landscapes. With past years included we have built miniature terrain for 58 of the 60 tables and there are plans to add 8 more with higher detail. All of the 120 participants in the tournament expressed there appreciation for the quality gaming experience provided by the two main organizers, Jason and Janer.

Today, Roundtable was on hand to help cover an event for a new website called Spymac.com. It was the first in a 12 city promotional campaign to anounce the new site by hosting stunts in each city. They started right here in Orlando by having a Bondesque looking stunt man do a repel slide off of City Hall to a waiting crowd of people where he handed out over $1,000 cash money. We helped film the stunt with our Sony HD camera and wide angle lens from the top of a hotel across the street. Providing a birds eye view for the producers while only risking the life of yours truely.

A spectator's video of the stunt is already posted on their site and can be viewed here.
