*It revealed the prop pack is 17 pounds
*Jillian Holtzmann comes up with a prototype that is so large it has to be pushed around on wheels.
*The first work space is in the basement of a forgotten institute in the Bronx, dense with equipment and found objects. Over the course of the story, they lose the basement lab, make off with some equipment and are able to put together another one in an unexpected spot: the closed upstairs banquet room of a Chinese restaurant. The old buffet for the restaurant becomes one of their lab tables, and they have meetings in an old booth for dining.
*At one time, Ecto-1 was thought up as some kind of altered minivan or a tricked-out surplus military vehicle but eventually Feig settled on a mid-80s Cadillac Fleetwood hearse.
*Costume designer, Jeffrey Kurland, drew up the uniforms with reflective stripes on them as a nod to reflective gear worn by a transit worker. The costume staff also built in extra pockets and rings to hang and store the different gear they'll need at the height of battle
*Last still shows Abby with some new tech (I think?) that may look familiar to some.
