Props

We were brought on as a turnkey art department to handle the fabrication, set decoration, prop building, and food styling for Sapporo’s new Vodka Lemon Sour commercial. Our client required a custom-engineered mechanical juicer featuring Sapporo's signature Katana sword handle, designed to be pulled down to visually juice a “fresh lemon” directly into the product can. To achieve this effortlessly on camera, we built a hidden fluid rig concealed inside the juicer housing that triggered overflowing fizz upon activation. We paired the rig with a custom-fabricated, hyper-absorbent fake lemon prop to compress under pressure, mimicking a high-yield, fresh-squeeze effect.

Our crew dressed and styled the bar interior, which included fabricating a seamless bar top extension to match the location's existing granite countertops. Our food styling team managed the product shots, using condensation techniques to give the hero cans a crisp, refreshing aesthetic. To tie the entire campaign together, we finalized the product styling with custom-designed, 3D-printed, and hand-painted miniature Katana stir sticks.
