Basic Electronics for Propmaking is designed to strip away the confusion of electronics and teach you the essentials you actually need to bring props to life.
This course focuses on simple, practical electronics commonly used in prop builds, without diving into advanced math or heavy coding. You’ll learn how everyday electronic components work, how to connect them safely, and how to integrate them into props and costumes.
You’ll learn how to:
• Understand basic electrical concepts like voltage, current, and polarity
• Power props safely using batteries and power modules
• Wire LEDs, resistors, and simple lighting effects
• Use buttons, switches, and triggers
• Read simple wiring diagrams without feeling confused
• Solder and assemble electronics
• Troubleshoot common issues like flickering lights, dead circuits, and shorting
This course is built around real scenarios and experience, showing you how to plan electronics early, hide wiring, and design systems that are durable, portable, and easy to maintain. This course is ideal for anyone wanting to level up their prop builds with simple LEDs or functional buttons!
By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to add lights, buttons, interactive elements to your props and understand why they work, not just how to copy a diagram.
This is a 12 hour course that will be sent to you via email after purchase. Please check your email after purchase, or email us at kickfxstudios@gmail.com with your order confirmation number!
