PROP DEPARTMENT
Orders that blow the take.
DON’T ROLL
DO ROLL
Party-store bills in a 4K insert.
A real-size strap, full print on the face the lens sees.
A million loose singles when the shot is a wall of bands.
Straps for the wide. Loose sheets only if something has to fly.
This year’s crisp hundreds in a 1974 back room.
Aged series when the story already happened.
So many stacks the actor cannot find the door.
Dress the frame. Leave a path. The lens crops the rest.
Film and television
Heist wides, ransom briefcases, counting-room inserts, background desks that have to feel staffed. Order full print for the hero faces and let fillers carry the height.
Music videos
Rain sequences, club tables, the slow tilt across a stack while the hook lands. Loose bills for the air. Banded stacks for everything that has to sit still.
Photos and thumbnails
Covers, lookbooks, finance videos, unboxings. One sharp stack and a hard light will outrun a pile of novelty paper every time the image gets cropped.
Classes and camera tests
Workshops and production drills need something you can fan, strap, and stack. Keep it labeled, keep it on the table, and never let it leave as a joke that looks spendable.
