Since the days of Greek
theatre and hand-held masks, props have been a part of life in theatres, film and TV. Stage weapons, furniture or other hand-held devices were considered 'company property', or simply 'property', which then became 'props', and then stage props or movie props. However, a stage prop must, of course, look real to the audience. Many real objects simply don't look like themselves to an audience, because of their size, durability, or colour under bright lights, so some are specially designed to look more like the actual item than the real object would. In some cases, a movie prop is designed to behave differently to the real object, often for safety reasons. Choosing the Right Stage and Film Props
In modern society the use of stage props has transferred to Motion picture production. Movie props are sourced from prop houses or purchased by the production company. The movie props are usually the responsibility of the Prop Master or Set Decorator. The properties are determined by the Production Designer who will work alongside a Production Buyer (Prop Buyer). The Art Department will draw up plans, visuals and put together concept models to gain an idea of how a set will look and then enhance the production by adding movie props to create atmosphere and an idea of realism. In theatres, stage prop choice plays a key role in a production's success. Stage props are generally considered to be separate from the costumes worn by the actors, the sets themselves or other large objects that can be considered part of the stage. Our service
