Hi there people. How are you all?

I need some help from you. I'm gonna make a video-let's play about Fallout (Actually i'm doing that to my class about Adobe Premiere, where i have to make a video). The intro scene of the video is a cup of coffee in a table with steam rising from it (I'm gonna do that with After Effects) and them i will slowly zoom in the cup while the music "Maybe" from Fallout OST is on the background.

That's where i need your help, i want to put some objects around the table that reminds of Fallout, but i can't decide what should i put around. Do you have any suggestions? I really need your help in that one.
Hrm.
Well, not sure where you can get a Nuka-Cola bottle, so that's probably out.
Same goes for a leather vambrace. Good brahmin's hard to find anyway. Easier to find that a blue pop bottle of the right variety, though, if you've got friends who make armor.
A pile of bottlecaps should be dead easy, though, and is an absolute must.
A canteen, perhaps? Water played a major role in the plot and economy of the first game.
A multitool, like a Leatherman.
Maybe some kind of large digital tape. Those were a major means of communicating the plot and setting. If you can score a damaged one, try writing down the combination found on the one in front the Mariposa Military Base on one of the mutant guards.
Dosimeter or Geiger counter, perhaps?
First things first: Thank you for your opinion. You have no idea how much you are helping me.

Here in brazil we got some drinks that come in bottle like that. I just have to make a label for it.

Somehow i don't see a leather vambrace much related with Fallout. I think i missed the reference =P But that should be a little hard do get.

I liked those. But probaly will be hard to find. Unless i'm lucky...

I think i have some old tapes in my basement. That one probaly won't be hard too.

Hard. But i got the power of the After Effects,so i can tranform a voltometer in one of these.

I can also put some kind of old book or magazine alongside.

Again: Thank you for your help. If you have any other ideas i will happy to hear it.
Lots of guns.

That was a awesome idea! I think i'm gonna put the cup riiiiight on top of a Mini-Gun, that will turn my video into a instant badass in the internet hahaha

Armors came in a few varieties.
Leather jackets
Leather armors (on nearly everybody, especially raiders)
Metal armors, heavy and spendy
Powered armored, unique to the Brotherhood of Steel and not necessarily accessible on every play-through as a result
Weird armors like the Tesla armor, which are hard to find and seldom worth the bother.

Given how common leather armor was, but how out of place a leather cuirass would be compared to some lesser piece of leather armor, I thought a vambrace would be the right size and likelihood for a table.
Stick this on a book/pile of papers.
By making your own labels and attaching them to containers of the appropriate size, you can probably make things like buffout, etc. Or even just use tablets or correctly shaped sweets to represent them. If you can get some appropriately shaped plastic or something you can probably make a replica Jet too. Rad-X would probably be easy to recreate.
A first aid kit might be an idea. And if you have a spare HDD lying around you might be able to make it look like a Holodisk.

AH! Now i see. And agree with you, but like i said, i think it will be hard to get something like that. Maybe some of my friends have something. But thanks for the help again.

I see... That is another very good alternative! Thanks! I can also change the labels with After Affects with some work.
But now you made me think in something: Maybe it's possible to add 3D models to After Effects.... I'm going to research about it and try to get some 3D models from Fallout 3/New Vegas to help me (Or i can make them myself.)
