do a breakdown of the script i gather the props with my prop assistants and buyer and we catalog them all we bend them all up we put them on the prop truck and we are there throughout filming and then we wrap the project how do you see the future of cinema cgi well it's already changing as we speak because of the pandemic there are a lot of new releases that are being streamed on disney plus netflix a lot fewer that are going to the movie theaters first it's just all changing as far as cgi goes we're already adapting to the fact that we'll use cgi if it can help make an actor safe or it's a prop that can't be physically built in real life then it'll be handled cgi um but as far as weapons go we use uh visual effects for uh blank gunfire for uh muzzle flash for shell ejection putting blades in for somebody getting stabbed you know we're already using quite a bit and on computers and cell phones how do you see the future with virtual reality glasses um i did one virtual reality shoot and you have to address the scene NUMBER_TOKEN degrees it's kind of crazy but it was interesting i'd never done that before how do you make a prop look more realistic um i'd say age it just dirty it up sand it down um we use this stuff it's called a smear kit this is just clean dirt and you it's got a little pouch bag they call it it's really dirty but you see do you ever keep props on display at your home after a production uh no i have this wonderful prop shop this is kind of like my man cave and this is where i keep all the props it stays prop free at the reader household when an actor gets covered in paint what is used definitely not oil based nothing oil based for sure go water-based typically uh we'll use like a methicill um even tempera paint that sort of thing something to wash out easy what's your favorite show you've worked on definitely friday night lights the tv series i've grew up with texas football and uh just living that every day was a lot of fun and the cast was great i enjoyed everything about it how many hours a week do you average working in the prop industry probably about NUMBER_TOKEN about NUMBER_TOKEN hours a day what type of person slash personality would you recommend to work in the prop department i would say someone who's easygoing really good at arts and crafts good at troubleshooting you don't really have to have a specific degree i would always recommend if you don't go the film school route to get a business degree because so many of us have side hustles you know i've got my prop shop i wish i'd had a little more business savvy when i got into it but also i would recommend someone that won't get their feelings hurt too easily because you know only NUMBER_TOKEN of what we make goes you know ends up on camera uh so much of it ends up on the editing room floor and you just can't get your feelings hurt by it and you've just got to give it a NUMBER_TOKEN because you don't know which NUMBER_TOKEN is going to end up on camera well that's it
