Movie Prop Tricks are Phony.

How to smash a phone screen in movies and TV.

[jmbbryant]

I was always wondering how people were strong enough to smash a phone.

Thank you for giving us a look behind the magic of movie props. A lot of the stuff I never even thought about before you point it out.

Imagine prop companys designing a phone with breakaway glass or other parts specifically for these type of scenes

[dr.haroldweinstein]

Fun fact: smashing a phone screen usually doesn’t disable the phone. Unless you can hit the memory chip, everything is still recoverable and it’s probably not going to turn the phone off so you can still be tracked

I was totally expecting a “that would have been tacky” pun at the end, but that probably would have just been phoning it in.

Seeing his videos everyday gives me so much joy, even if it’s only for 43 seconds.

Here's Scott, shattering your misconceptions about props in the movie industry with hardly a break!

I wanted to be a prop/scene artist for theater/film when i was younger and less disabled! It really scratches that itch watching your videos and it makes me super happy to see new videos pop up!!

I was just Thumbing through YouTube when I came upon this video. That pun at the end really Cracked me up

[davidp]

I always wondered how that was done. Thanks for showing us the tacky method.

The Oscar for the best pun ending of the day goes to …..

I watched an episode of Criminal Minds the other night that involved someone smashing a phone and it was pretty clearly just a small green circuit board behind some glass in an otherwise empty enclosure. I guess they didn't want a lipo battery exploding on set.

[DNAOrion]

That glass shattering is ever so satisfying.

[Pickleriiiiiick]

Props for making these entertaining videos!

[gamertothemax]

Absolutely love the videos would love to see how some of the props are made

[jacobroeland]

I'm just glad you and your industry never phone it in

If anyone is wondering... the movie he is talking about is a Disney movie called ZAPPED

[bm]

come for the prop insights, stay for the dad jokes

[vic]

I love how every time he makes a dad joke he turns his head dramatically
