| Summary |
"The Properties Director's Toolkit is a concise guide to managing a prop shop and show build. Sandra Strawn and Lisa Schlenker skilfully explain and provide templates for organizing and managing a prop shop, from pre-production organization to production processes, budgeting and collaborations with other production areas. The Toolkit also explores how to plan, organize and maintain a prop shop for safe and efficient production work. This thoroughly revised second edition includes two additional chapters on the role of the Props Director and co-productions, along with expanding information in each chapter, including artisan responsibilities, union information, digital collaboration, prop shop organization and construction, and projections."--Provided by publisher |
