About

"The prop master has to have imagination. He has to have the ability to realize and recognize what he can do. He also has to have the ability to acknowledge the fact that he can accomplish what the writers want him to do." - Al Borden, Prop Master

Prop masters provide the necessary hand props for actors to use during filming.
