  • To make a movie feel as realistic as possible you have to have the right props. And there are numerous super specialized props that require a broad range of expertise behind the scenes, from paper bags that don’t make a sound on set and broken glass that won’t harm an actor to fake blood and vomit. Here’s a look at 13 you may not have known about and how they are made.

    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!

      We don't use as much foley nowadays.. we have access to HUGE SFX libraries where we can just grab the sounds from.
      Now, if its a major film with a stupid budget for post.. maybe. But for most things that require audio replacement we just grab a file.

      Just don't. Really. All the public sees are fancy highlight reels that glamourise film and tv. The reality is that the majority of film and tv jobs are poorly paid with what would be considered abusive work hours in other fields.
      Directors get a lot of credit because a lot of the time films or programs just wouldn't be made at all if it was not for the director.

    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.

    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."

    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 -

A love story, a suspense thriller with extreme sadness and much deep disappointment until the very costly ending of purest love and devotion at the time i got something in my ey causing it to leak with such joy ? Yes they love of the chicken ! MAGNIFICENT!
    So i thank you wholeheartedly for all your hard work.

    May the Great Spirit Bless all who enter there.

    I'm not sure it was really explained-if so I apologize-but they generally only want to capture dialogue during filming and want ambient noise at a bare minimum. Extra is restaurant scenes only pretend to talk for example. Then they add the ambient noise back in after filming controlling the levels. That's why they want zero noise props.

    They went to college for Biology/Biophysics, graduated as Writers, and now own and work as artists making props.
    Just shows you college is bs majority of the time.

      They are definitely using the skills they learned in school, and they are undoubtedly paid very well. This is like one of the only times that going to college DOES pan out. Your logic doesn't connect A to B, but your final point is still true... college is BS most of time.

    I don't understand the need for the silent props. In a properly made movie the sound is completely replaced with ADR and foley. The on set audio is only for reference. It's necessary in order to place every element where it's wanted in the multichannel mix

    I wonder if Morley will change their design again now that Marlboro left the tobacco market.

    I love stuff like this, although it does just give me a laundry list of things to point out when some idiot claims that some TV show or movie they saw was "realistic", especially the censor-marms that wring their hands about how audiences are being 'desensitized'. If they're being desensitized, it wouldn't even matter because the stuff they're no longer sensitive was never real in the first place! So many people have profoundly dysfunctional ideas about media and fiction.
