Prop Masters on North American Specialty Prop Money Practices
Prop Masters: Some questions about working with specialty prop money
Hi all!
I'm a film/TV script clearance researcher who writes for my company's industry newsletter.
I’m gathering some information for an article about prop money and looking for Prop Masters to share some insight. Instead of a formal interview, I'd love to crowd source answers to some questions I have below.
I’d really appreciate your input. Please feel free to answer any or all of the following (if you reply, please could you include your general years of experience?). Lastly, I’m mainly looking for answers in a North American context, but would still love to hear from anyone outside Canada/US.
Questions:
What paperwork or documentation do you need to keep when ordering or using prop money?
Have regulations or vendor requirements changed noticeably over your career? If so, could you provide an example?
How do you handle prop money after wrap? Return it, destroy it, something else?
Does using prop money affect your production insurance, or is it treated the same as any other prop?
Thanks so much for the help! I'll be monitoring the thread and will reply when I can.
