#prop master

[vintage-tigre]

1975 Jaws set carpenter Allan Albee making good use of an unused arm prop.

For the beach scene where Chrissie's remains are discovered, Director Steven Spielberg said the prop arm looked too fake, so instead they buried a female crew member in the sand with her arm exposed.

After eons of working on this, Reze’s Bomb Devil helmet is done!! The hand painting/weathering took so long, but it was honestly so therapeutic~

“Keath Hall (Director/Hamlet) is the Artistic Director of Southwest Shakespeare Company and formerly the Artistic Director of Ronin Theatre Company. He has an MA in Literature and a BA in history and has been an actor, director, fight choreographer and technician throughout the southwest for the last 20 years. You may have seen him star in Ben Butler at The Don Bluth Front Row Theatre, Malvolio in The Twelfth Night at Southwest Shakespeare Company and recently for Ronin Theatre Company he was Coriolanus in Coriolanus. He’d like to thank his wife and family for their continued support in all things theatre. This is his final show with Ronin Theatre Company for the foreseeable future, but he is proud of the work he’s done and excited to see the company grow and take on a life without him.

More Molly content! I love her sm.

The only warning I can think of for this one is Fallout TV spoilers. And maybe manipulation

Characters drawn as cats but written as humans

Watch, listen, but don’t tell people. That’s what my father always said. He worked as a prop master, often bringing me around to his job. He always wanted me to stay quiet about what I had seen, not to spoil the movie or show or whatever he was working on. The younger me was so naive. He wasn’t just there for props, he had something sinister going on.

I remember watching the fall of that famous actor - what was it? Cooper Howard! That was his name. My dad worked on every single movie he’d made. I remember when they fired the original writer of his last movie. For what? I don’t remember.

It was odd to see what was on screen in person. Then later see it again. And again. And again. My sister loved his movies, but she never saw them be made. Maybe I had special clearance. Maybe he thought she was too young.

Or maybe it was about the times I saw him speaking to people - important people - about things that certainly were not related to movies. I should have said nothing, but I did what my father told me - what he always told me - Watch, listen, but don’t tell people.

I went to a film festival today :)) and I met prop master, Dwight Benjamin Creel. He was the prop master of Zombieland, Fargo, Legally Blonde, and more! Explained my experience under the photo:

(Covered my face cuz duh)

When I asked for a selfie he was like “I’m really a nobody.”

I just said he’s cool to me.

He was chill and such a nervous old man lol.

We even played the name game 😂

Also yes he did bring some props for us to touch, all very light weight. He let us touch props from: Fargo, Year One, Zombieland, and pet semetery 2.

But all in well the film festival was a blast.
