Actual notifications interrupt scenes. Timing is impossible to control. Continuity breaks between takes. And graphic overlays cost thousands in post.
There had to be a better way.
One phone in the crew's hand. One in the actor's. Production triggers texts, calls, video calls, and notifications remotely. The Talent screen is indistinguishable from a real phone — because on camera, it has to be.
ScreenProp comes pre-loaded with realistic text threads, call logs, and contacts — a phone that feels used from day one. Need different names or numbers? Every contact is fully editable. Zero setup time. Maximum believability.
Type a message on Production. It appears on Talent instantly. Full threaded conversations, images, timestamps — every detail audiences expect.
Trigger realistic incoming calls with custom caller names, numbers, and profile pictures. Full-screen caller ID, haptic vibration, authentic accept/decline UI.
Trigger video calls with platform-specific skins. Use pre-recorded video or stream live from a third device. The actor sees a real video call. The camera sees a perfect take.
Swipeable lock screen notifications. App notification banners that slide in from the top. Fingerprint unlock, swipe-to-open — every micro-interaction, simulated.
Lock the status bar time, battery percentage, and signal strength from the Production device. Continuity errors in phone screens cost reshoots. Eliminate them.
Some characters don't have a phone full of contacts. Burner Mode strips everything — no call logs, no text threads, no saved names. Just a blank, anonymous phone like it was bought with cash an hour ago. One toggle and the lived-in phone becomes a burner.
Production generates a 6-digit PIN. Talent enters it. Devices pair instantly over WiFi or cellular.
Send messages, trigger calls, adjust continuity settings — all from the Production dashboard.
The Talent screen displays pixel-perfect simulations. The camera rolls. The take is flawless.
