Military "Sonic Weapon" Prop
Capritor Studios was commissioned to conceptualize, design, and prepare production-ready 3D files for a military sonic weapon prop intended for use as a practical on-set asset in Season 2 of Gen V. The client provided a reference image and a brief outlining the desired direction: an experimental, portable sonic weapon that combined elements of both legacy and cutting-edge technology.
The challenge was to create a design that felt grounded in real-world engineering while still conveying the advanced, prototype nature of the device. From initial concept development through final 3D modeling, the focus was on balancing functionality, durability, and visual storytelling to produce a prop suitable for physical fabrication and on-screen use.
Details
The goal of this project was to create a portable sonic weapon that felt believable within a modern military setting while retaining the experimental qualities expected of advanced prototype technology. The design combines familiar industrial forms, rugged protective housing, and recognizable audio hardware to ground the prop in reality while suggesting a specialized sonic-based purpose. Particular attention was given to silhouette, manufacturability, and practical on-set use.
