Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing authentic items from Sydney prop houses to Melbourne vintage dealers for your Australian production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Australia, this role draws on a wealth of local resources—from the heritage collections in Sydney and Melbourne to specialist outback and Indigenous art suppliers. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify every required prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking continuity across scenes.
We connect you with Australian props masters who have deep knowledge of local prop houses in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, as well as relationships with antique dealers and specialty fabricators across the country. Our network includes professionals experienced with period Australian settings, contemporary urban productions, and large-scale international shoots filmed across the Asia-Pacific region.
