One of the biggest tasks for any production is procuring and/or building props and sets. For a detailed description and analysis of the various aspects/tasks of a production refer to this definitive post by our producer.
What does such work entail ?
Obtaining the requirements (reading the script), understanding them (clarifying with the producer/director), ROI (time spent vs value added), market analysis (research methods of getting it), feasibility study (build vs procure). The next step is procurement (scavenge: beg/borrow/steal/rent/buy) - which gives way to an iterative build process (design, implementation and test). There is also post-production followup work (return the items borrowed/rented and store the rest).
As one can see, it is not only time-consuming and nettling but after a while gets annoying.
Um.. personally, this reminds me of something else I been doing for a while.. can't remember now.. what is it..? ;)
So how are we doing?
Our zealous team is doing pretty good. Our expeditions have taken us from thrift stores to prop rental houses to home depots. Every trip we always see something new and different - always a learning experience.

We are still looking for more items. If you know of any prop rental shops, drop us a message.
