So I've been looking through the props auction for the Marvel Netflix shows just for fun (*sob*) -- it's here if you also want to rubberneck -- and I have made the delightful discovery that THIS is how they do the light-up effect for the Iron Fist. I mean, the fist itself is clearly CGI, but this is how they get it to glow on everything in its vicinity.



It's an LED handband that can light up in any color. For some reason it just completely delights me that what they're actually doing whenever they're doing the ultra-serious ~iron fist~ thing is that ACTUALLY somebody is wearing one of these LED handbands and staring at their hand. XD

(I love behind-the-scenes stuff.)

Other fun discoveries from the props auction - you can buy a bunch of the prop weapons and other stuff, including Colleen's katana, the flowy dress thing worn by the ninja lady who fought Danny in the first season, Mary Walker's bag of art stuff, and the knife Ward stabbed his dad with.

Also, Danny has amusingly terrible handwriting.

I think they might just not have room to keep it all around once a show wraps up its run. It might be more common to keep movie props.

I guess that makes sense. It's just such a statement of finality.

It might just be that he's solemn-faced with not-very-flattering lighting, but if the actor was trying to convey that Ward was really Not Having A Good Day when the portrait was taken, he did a good job.

It does rather have the look of a photoshoot that Ward to this day may or may not remember.

.... and I still want to know at what point Danny's portrait was taken, because it's clearly a very current photo of him, and the implication is that at some point between the final fight/Harold's cremation and Danny leaving with Colleen, Ward dragged him to a portrait studio.

I cannot imagine Danny enjoying having his picture officially taken (my mental image is a cat getting a bath), which means you should probably write it.

My thoughts exactly.

I ... kinda wasn't planning to just sit down and spend most of today writing this, but then that's exactly what I did. Thank you for the idea! :D
