Where to get props for a movie




















One way to determine which of these items might be worth collecting is to think back on some famous movie scenes. If you're getting the idea that you could collect almost any kind of properties from your favorite movies, you'd be correct. Skip to main content. Shop by category. Shop by Genre.

Filmmakers often donate items to restaurant chains or theme-parks. Grint also tried to take the golden Goblet of Fire dragon egg which was worth a few thousand dollars , but the studio tracked it down. Jason Isaacs tried to take one of the thousands of copies of The Daily Prophet, though he was caught and asked to return it. Wondering what happened to all the amazing period costumes from Boardwalk Empire?

Filmmaking is a fast-paced world where tremendous amounts of goods are moved at break-neck speed, as productions come and go. When costumes and other items are no longer needed, there are usually opportunities to donate them. Many props find new life in other films. Amazingly, some items end up in the trash. The leg lamps from A Christmas Story, stop-animation models from King Kong, and the original Star Wars death star were all thrown out to make room for new gear — though the death star was immediately recognized and snapped up by a savvy antique store owner.

Movie Prop Rentals is an independent prop house that assists Hollywood, indie filmmakers, theatres, music video producers, corporate event planners, as well as wedding and party planning agencies. For decades, we have been collecting high-quality film props used on screen.

Our clients can choose from carefully curated items out of two warehouses in Atlanta, Georgia, and Miami, Florida. Contact us for details. What Happens to Movie Props after Filming? Instead of relying solely on prop rental houses and other options that are location specific, here are a few resources you can use no matter where you live. One high-quality prop house that is based in Los Angeles but ships their props internationally is Omega Cinema Props.

Looking through their catalog of items, they have a lot of high-quality production grade furniture, hardware, electronics, appliances, and depending on the category of object, you can sort their catalog online with qualifiers for period, style, aesthetic, etc. This is a valuable resource for shooting a larger production. Because Omega carries high-quality film props to rent, they are much more affordable than buying outright.

While the options available on eBay might not be specific for film, you can find great vintage, retro, or antique items that can be used as film props usually affordable by looking for particular keywords.

Take, for example, my search for rotary phone props. My search featured plenty of cheap rotary phone options to browse through. The only caveat to going through eBay is that you are buying, not renting these items, and having the opportunity to return them is entirely up to the seller. Etsy is one of my favorite sources for finding indie creations and supporting individual creators. The pricing on these film props can vary widely depending on the seller, but for the most part, most items you might need should be affordable on a budget.

When in doubt, you can always turn to Amazon. Instead, try searching for movie props in all categories. There are all kinds of obscure or random objects available, and some pretty practical ones like fake money, retracting knives, etc. As an example, I co-wrote an indie feature film going into production this summer, and one of the items we needed to lock down was fake prop pills. A lot of the options we found and were deciding between were from Amazon, which was convenient and affordable on an indie budget.

The website Entertainment Earth is a great resource for finding affordable prop replicas for recreating iconic scenes or parodying some of your favorite films. Where other options on this list are great for tracking down everyday pieces to incorporate into your set design, Entertainment Earth provides actual replications of famous props from movies — like lightsabers!

Even still, this one is a great resource for finding cheap film props for content like sketch comedy videos, paying homage to a classic film in a music video, or producing fan-created content based in your favorite cinematic universe.
