What your first launch looks like

Two ways your first launch can look.

Start with one numbered piece, or with a collectible line that follows the film from premiere to anniversary. Both end with owners you know by name.

How it starts

From first call to release day.

Four steps, shaped around the film's release dates and the maker's production run. We do the build; you bring the decisions.

  1. Laptop showing discovery call notes for Larkspur Prop Co. and the film Tidewater Crown, beside compass sketches and a grey resin compass prototype

    01 · Week 1

    Discovery call

    We hear the plan: the film, the pieces, edition sizes, release windows and who signs off for the licensor. You bring the product lead and the dates that matter.

  2. One-page compass replica brief beside a brass tap disc, a numbered certificate card 0207 of 600 and a teal box insert

    02 · Week 1

    Brief and tag choice

    We agree the first piece, where the tag sits (in the base, the plinth, the box or a numbered certificate) and what owners open on day one.

  3. Hand holding a phone in test mode with a grid of edition numbers, nine of twelve tags ticked as tested, beside a brass pocket compass replica

    03 · Weeks 2–3

    Build and test

    We build the owners' portal in the film's look. Tags go in at the bench and every one is checked before the run ships.

  4. Studio office tablet showing premiere week owners registered, share of the edition claimed, scene-tour plays and countries, beside the boxed compass replica

    04 · Release day

    Go live, see results

    Owners tap or scan, the piece proves it's official, and the studio sees registrations, territories and extras watched from the first day.

Before you ask

Questions we get from teams like yours

Usually the licensor approves how the film looks in the portal, and the maker fits the tags. We work with whoever leads the product and bring the others in when their sign-off is needed.
