<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9615403, member: 79705&quot;]Strangely, I&#039;ve yet to ever set one foot into a prop house as they don&#039;t really exist where I typically work at (we get rentals shipped to us, from them). I think that&#039;s probably going to change on my next job as we&#039;re prepping in a city with many. I work making or sourcing props during prep, and then being on-set to distribute them, consult, re-set them, train or suit-up actors, etc. We do try to buy or rent legitimate antiques when we can. Only fabricate when we can&#039;t, or it&#039;s cheaper, or the item has to work in a certain way for film that we can&#039;t reconstruct for.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maggots do not bother me even a little bit. We had to source some for a scene and I let my boss know you could buy them online. Boss was horrified that was possible AND I knew about it! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I told them OR we could DIY our own but we would definitely get complaints! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We&#039;ve also had taxidermy on a few shows I&#039;ve been on and the out-of-town/non-rural folk do not understand how delicate that is in our environment. No refrigerators, no plastic bag/tarp storage, no hot trucks/warehouses/uncontrolled climate...it leads to rot. I cannot tell you how many rotted things I&#039;ve had to deal with. Enough that I have a source for taxidermy disposal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie102" alt=":yuck:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
