Have you ever wondered how films transport the moviegoer to another place in time? No graphic enhancements needed, just a great prop master.
What is a prop master you ask? Someone who's job is to find all of the items that make you believe the film actually takes place during a certain time or location.
From vintage clothes, to antique cars and all the way down to the most minute details such as the pack of cigarettes the actor is smoking to the napkins on the table. It is that attention to detail that really makes us believe!
I was fortunate enough to catch up with Ellen Freund, prop master extrordinaire. She has worked on just a few small projects such as Twilight, Night at the Museum, Vanilla Sky, and is currently working on the hit TV series, Mad Men. Let's just say her work has not gone unnoticed.
