This project aims to create and build a design for a chainsaw prop that can be used in a production of Evil Dead The Musical. Within the context of the show, the chainsaw is attached to a character’s arm after their hand has been cut off. Practically, this means that the prop needs to be hollow so that the actor can hide their arm inside. There will also be padding on the opening for additional comfort and support. The chainsaw prop also needs several special effects to aid in the illusion of a fake chainsaw. These effects include a moving chain and smoke effect.
