Bespoke Custom Van Fabrication & Special Effects for Rainbow Riches Casino

MACHINESHOP engineered and executed the comprehensive practical special effects and bespoke automotive prop modifications for the Rainbow Riches Casino commercial campaign. Created to launch a vibrant, fully branded platform, the energetic “Rainbow Hunters” broadcast film follows a comedic duo piloting a heavily stylized vehicle across the countryside on a quest to hunt down a real rainbow.

Our workshop transformed a standard vehicle into a highly interactive, custom prop van tailored to handle close-up camera scrutiny. The embedded project commercial and behind-the-scenes engineering videos showcase the seamless technical testing, electronic wiring, and physical builds required to operate these playful practical cues flawlessly on location.

Advanced Prop Making & Automotive Special Effects

Executing flawless physical gags and automotive styling for a fast-moving commercial shoot requires strict weight balancing, robust component engineering, and close synchronization with the camera car crew:

• Bespoke “Rainbow Hunter” Van Fabrication: Structurally modifying and “pimping out” a custom practical van, adding stylized exterior panels, branded decals, and roof-mounted tracking hardware.
• Interactive Dashboard Electronics: Engineering a custom internal electronics suite for the vehicle’s cockpit, featuring responsive analogue gauges, flashing LED indicators, and illuminated radar screens to simulate a high-tech tracking device.
• On-Cue Mechanical Stunt Rigs: Building robust, remote-activated physical mechanisms onto the vehicle chassis to deliver smooth, repeatable physical responses across multiple field takes.
