It’s things like this that pulls me towards a career in film. This is utterly fascinating, moreso when you realize that every sound they take out has to be replaced by foley artists. Pool ball clinks? A foley artist at an old pool table just banging pool balls together. Same thing with the paper bags, shattered glass. Directors get all the credit but foley and props carry so much of a film and create the ability for the audience to be able to suspend disbelief as they watch the film. A movie requires so many moving parts all moving precisely the right way to be the least bit successful. I love this stuff!

I worked as a graphic designer for a community college. Once the theatre department were performing “A Christmas Story” and needed boxes of Red Ryder BB Gun for a store display. I made the artwork to cover the boxes using original photos as a guide. It was a lot of fun to create & lend realism to the production.

Props to these amazingly talented people.

Weird. This is the EXACT Same video that was uploaded a year or so ago. I loved it the first time

As a indie filmmaker who founded a small indie studio with their close mates I love watching and just absorbing all the knowledge from all these types of videos

(Also for anybody wondering I do most of the work in my films like writing the scripts, music, acting, filming, editing and prop making... as I have way too much time on my hands)

I used to work with RJR Props… RJ is a really nice guy, pointed out all the differences on fake bills they use to be safe.

When I started this video I was like “OVER AN HOUR?!?!” And now I’m thinking to myself “WAIT! MORE PLEASE!!”

[태이씨]

These great professionals are the reason i never skip the opening and closing titles.

[petofiarkwright]

This is really amazing, I never considered how many issues movies would have with regural everyday sounds, and thought some type of editing post production was to clear them up! Amazing job on those props

[trinaq]

I really love seeing how props are made for film and TV, especially food, and usually it isn't even edible.

The 1984 movie "To live and die in LA" had a plotline that revolved two secret service agents and Willem Defoe as a master counterfeiter. William Friedken directed and he said they hired a genuine counterfeiter as adviser on the film and just did what he said! They bought all the proper machinery, filmed their counterfeiting scenes without even notifying the real SS and just took their chances. Friedken said a large quantity of the counterefeited money vanished from the set -

This was EXCELLENT !!..I dont even know how I came upon this but im so glad I did !!! I never realized how much is put into props and such..just amazing..

[ralphwheat]

This was incredibly interesting. I always enjoyed seeing how movies are made especially the effects in it's many forms. There was tv show ( I can't remember it's name) that showed how FX (practical) was done in movies. Before the prolific use of CGI. With my love for film one of sons decided to be a writer and director of movies. Even going to college for it.

Wait, isn't this an old video? well especially the first 8 mins

[MewmewGrrl]

It's funny to see every person who works in a different department say that whatever they work on is its own character. The people who make the clothes say "That dress was its own character in the film." The people who make up the houses say "The house was its own character in the film." The people who prepare the food are like "That feast was its own character in the film." The people who prepare the vehicles "That car was its own character in the film." The hairstylists "Their hair was its own character in the film."

[xrrrismickey]

As someone noise sensitive I wish these items existed all over life

[Raspadodelimon]

Thats really impressive I feel like anything can be props!

[jaimepalma]

It is very impressive on how these details are so well made that you don't even think about it when watching movies, shows, etc. Much props(no pun intended).

[Maazzzo]

These people are geniuses. I love videos like this. More, please!

[Bruh-mrcf]

I just watched the whole video... im facinated
