The first variants of the props were drawn according to what I thought was needed for the group.
It was a simple list
cut out sun and moon connected with strings, a key, a kite, a glass, some logs, a straw hut, a Mayan temple, buttons for a spaceship, a door for a spaceship.

After these were approved I went on to make some orthographs.

-The button is top left, almost the exact same as in the above sketches.

-The key is bottom left, its front view is the same as the above sketches too, but the side view was a little guesswork with how other keys could look.
-The right images are of the Sun/Moon cutout, it doesn't need to be thick it could just be made of plastic or card and roped up to the ceiling.

-The top right is the boom mic, I'd imagine it was cylindrical so it should just go round.

-Beneath that is some possible log views this seemed more like a look at the natural versions, but it truly depends on the style.

- Middle top is the kite, the black being the wooden parts and the blue being the fabric.

-Below this is three cup shapes, a simple cylinder, a more curved one and a simple slightly wider rimmed one.

-The right is the spaceship door, this design was based more off scifi than realistic doors, its two sliding doors in a round shape, which can just be pushed into the wall, and move along them.

-This one is the most simple.
It's supposed to be the straw hut, this needs to look simple but also have some sticking out parts, which seem to be more of an experimental part.
It might be best to build the simple shape, put a rough texture implying its made of straw and sticks, and then have a few odd parts that sit within the model sticking out to create a more varied form.

-The Mayan temple I have just viewed as a simple cutout, the door in a bit, but the rest roughly thinned and possibly propped up with stands or just solid enough to stand on its own.
I've viewed this as more os a standee as the sun and moon in this scene are on strings.

I made dope sheets on for three of the pieces based off the animatics given to me.
