It’s wild how the only people that get fame, recognition, and awards are the actors, when in reality the actors would have absolutely nothing if not for the hundreds of talented individuals like this who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make every movie/show possible. I love videos like this that showcase the expert work from all different specialists that goes into making a movie, whether it’s set design, special effects, sound design, hair & makeup, costumes, props, etc.
Well,they get paid. Actors can lose fame or not be involved in a lot of movies or not be in anymore, but this pros would still be there doing what they do best.
while I don't think that actors 100% need the sometimes absurdly huge checks they get, they do basically sign a contract that allows their body and talent to be used in every possible way for the production and promotion (mostly) of the movie or show etc and it won't stop untill it's done and the press tour is over (if it's done, not every project gets these it seems). For some of them maybe completely surrendering their time and health for the job isn't an issue but it still takes that from them regardless, not to mention that it takes just as long or not even longer to get to that point in life and career. The people behind the scenes get their paychecks and have a place and project to work on, they just apply their work in ways that aren't instantly obvious to most viewers, but it's undeniable how much of it means a lot for the end product
@@voXYoung This is true, and I definitely highly respect skilled actors and think it’s an incredible art form. I’m a huge movie fan and I definitely have a handful of actors/actresses that I strongly admire for their talent. I just like videos that make us appreciate the people behind the scenes that make it all possible. And I’ve spoken to a lot of these people and the job security isn’t exactly great for them either, they’re always working with tight budgets and they’re the first people to get cut rather than the actor’s fees.
It's not just the actors that make a movie great, it's all the hard working crew members behind the scenes that make complex scenes possible, with so much effort and detail. Props to them, they take passion for their work to another level.
Dude if actor can't act it's will be fail, look many movies fail even it have best effects it's because the actor can't act. Look avatar the last airbender
Very interesting. I never thought about the blood puddles before. Sure its easy enough to use fake blood - but its a real mess. Especially since they tend to repeat shots numerous times. The silicon "puddles" must save so much time. Replacing heavy things with very light copies is certainly safer and easier for the actor, but at times it looks a bit fake. Like if someone swings a huge sword around as if its styrofoam - which it actually is. Such things are for the director to keep in mind. But sometimes they miss that.
Yeah, i recently thought about heavy objects, and how would they act to move them realistically. If i was an actor, i would need first to practice with real or similar objects to 'feel' the weight, than i could 'act it out'. Unless actor is a superhero, than it is all about acting, cant practice lifting cars unfortunately, maybe with heavy weights only 😆 😁
If the movie is going for realism, they can teach the actors to move the objects as if they were heavy. They can practice solo using heavy objects or watch power lifters to how they have to move their bodies to balance out very heavy objects.
This not only speaks to the talents of these artists but also to the actors who have to do scenes where they're hit with an object. They have to react in such a way that you believe that they're ACTUALLY getting hurt. Reminds me of some of the tricks we used to use for stage combat when I was at theater camp. EDIT: Obviously, this also includes the talents of the fight choreographers who have to come up with ways to sell the action as being real, the cinematographers who have to frame it in a way that doesn't give away the game, the editors who have to cut the footage just so to further hide it and the directors who have to coordinate all of this. It really shows how filmmaking is a collaborative effort.
The whole point of the video is to highlight the underdogs of the movie business. Right up there with vfx artist who definitely don’t get the props they deserve. Actors are praises enough imo.
@@ophrasbankaccount7716 The point wasn't making it a competition either. In the same way many people never thought about the effort put into fake blood, OP just realized the effort into acting out realistic pain. Insider videos are about the process most don't think about behind results most are aware of
@@ophrasbankaccount7716 You really wanna blame someone for not giving SFX people their due credit, blame the studio executives who work them near-literally to death with excessive amounts of retakes and revisions, which require regular 16 hour work days and 7 day work weeks, all of which the effects houses have to pay for themselves. Pitting the actors against the SFX people is a real house slave/field slave comparison.
Sooooo cool to take a peak behind the scene. Id love more behind the scenes prop videos from all different movies and shows, the list would be endless.
This was eye-opening! I have to say that the heft of a prop then really does rely on actor since anything heavy is bound to cause harm, so it's impressive if they can convince the audience it's real heavy. The role of keeping track of which prop is which must also be very vital!
If you look at it, there are some differences between the prop and the real thing, but that doesn't really matter when they're moving. Kudos to people who work BTS.
i rlly find this field interesting. rather than to star and act, i would rather be one of those key ultimate individuals who make a film possible behind the scenes. the amount of effort, thinking, resourcefulness, and creativity stuns me so much.
Actually i always wondered when they destroy something (like that keyboard for example) is it completely for real, but they even prop that out, i was somehow disappointed xD Unless you are Nolan and flipping trucks and destroying aeroplanes at aerodrom 😆😁😄
For a budget version of them, you can go to a Halloween shop (my recommendation is Spirit Halloween) and , if needed, you can probably paint around them and weather them and such
We had the prop weapon with the fake blood inside at my theater camp. For Sweeney Todd, it was a razor that the actor squeezed as he dragged it across someone's throat, so it'd leave this perfect streak of red. From the audience, it looked plenty real, which is probably why it was done REALLY viscerally in the movie.
I think they did that with starkid productions too, I think during the scene where Linda kills Frank with a box cutter, there’s an excess amount of blood, obviously they use gel packets for the mouth blood but for the neck blood I think Lauren just squeezed the “cutter”
Or the guy shooting at Brandon Lee. But these were firearms. With props like these the actor would have to be criminally stupid to not notice the weight and surface difference...
@@Posiman In Brandon Lee’s case, it was loaded with a blank, but there was debris still in the barrel that was launched out. In Alex Baldwin’s case, he was handed a real gun with real rounds. The level of incompetence that would have to happen to allow a gun with real bullets not only on set but into the actor’s hands is just staggering.
You will not believe the amount of times I tried to break things with my fist or elbows as a kid because of these scenes. One time I drove my elbow through a car window (dads car that we were going to scrap) to replicate a scene I was trying to show off to my friends to and ended up fracturing it.
The items looks extremely realistic, but you can often tell it is a prop based on how the actors use them. A real pipe wrench for example is pretty heavy, but when the actor in the cut scene starts to run it looks light as an empty milk jug🇸🇪
True, thats one downside of slow paced scenes, the fast ones like fast fighting in Everything everywhere its barely noticable if not nitpicking every second of scene :)
The trouble with props being so light, you can tell when it moves that it is super light. When something is meant to have weight it’s visible. Just watch someone picking up an empty suitcase and then a full one. It looks different.
That's up to the director and the actor to note that difference in the performance, of course. It's always good to have your actor fake the weight of a prop like that.
Dang, that's really impressive! Well, I think it's good that people watching stuff aren't going to know if the prop is a fake or real; The majority of the time it will be fake, so it doesn't actually hurt someone and only use the real item during a close up shot...
This reminds me of the scene in Casino where Tony gets beaten to death by his crew. They're using aluminum bats and they sound believable, but I knew they were foam or something like it.
I love, creativity, art and movies I wish I could’ve dreamed about a job like this when I was a kid. This would be my dream job. Oh my gosh does it look awesome
As a child I'd watch the Stooges on TV. Then one day I was at a movie theater when they ran a Stooges short ahead of the feature. I was amazed that the anvil and mallets were obviously rubber.

Got to give props to them for their effort
I know right? They made me feel like a dummy.

This is very impressive, they look so realistic!!
Imagine being partnered to a prop manager and all the pranking you could pull off. Fun for parties and liven up family events.
Trauma is not fun and after what happened to Alec Baldwin I never wanna voluntarily let someone “pretend” hurt me ever again.

Some people making these props are more talented than Hollywood a listers
You can't compare making props to acting. They're two totally different things.
Talent in making props and talent in acting to be believeable are so different, you can't really compare them.
the buttplug statuette on artist's desk [1:29] gives this video more personal, insider feel.
The guys and girls are the unsung heroes of film.
Got to visit Josh's workspace! SUPER cool!
Imagine the actors accidentally use a real prop instead of a fake prop
Like Alec Baldwin...
Or the guy shooting at Brandon Lee.

Fortunately, the weight and feel gives them away. Real weapons are cold, hard, and heavy.

The buttplug in the right-hand side background at 0:54 is a nice touch. What film did you make that for, Josh?
Wow so much detail goes into films we need more behind the scene stuff for sure.
I always read the five minutes of credits after a movie. Don't you?
Fascinating..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!
It’s nice to see Joe doing other things for Insider and not trying to kill himself with fast food
Props can make or break a scene. I wish Corridor Crew would bring on a prop master for Prop Master Reacts.
its amazing what movie company's can do now...props and CGI are Incredible
Sooooo.. In what film was the prop in the bottom right used (shown at 3:07) lol
his personal plug lol 😆
Fifty shades 😏
