Do You Ever Get To Keep Props?

This is one of the questions we often get when people find out about the productions at our Craftsman Film Location Home in Los Angeles. It’s amazing to watch the crew from start to finish. During our last shoot, they needed to change our living room from our personal taste of whimsy to a more masculine and modest look. About 15 people measured (with measuring tape) exactly where things went, accompanied by hordes of photos. They taped and bubble-wrapped and took meticulous care moving from our rooms to their moving truck. Each piece was entered into a computer and it looked better than any home move we’ve ever made! When it was all done, sure enough, they placed every single item within millimeters of where it originally sat. After they left, and we came back to inspect, we saw a few items left behind, so we called the manager and they just gifted it to us. It was pretty little set of decorations and we have it sitting on the table. As organized as they were with our stuff, they were also with their own props. And they certainly didn’t flinch at what they had left behind. We often get food from craft services, but not much more, with the exception of a well-paid day and a lot of laughs.
