Warner Bros Studio: Props

In films and music videos, props (properties) are objects used on a set. Props can be large or small. Anything moveable on a set, distinct from the actors, scenery, costumes and electrical equipment is a prop.

Warner Bros Studios, London
Warner Bros Studios in London contains the sets and props used in the Harry Potter movies. Examples of props include the Triwizard Cup and the Golden Egg

Prop Manufacturing
While many props can be purchased or hired, many have to be designed from scratch (especially if they need a specific theme like those featured in Harry Potter). Props can be crafted using a number of techniques including carving, sculpting and moulding, together with the latest in manufacturing technology in order to transform the concepts from the art department into real, touchable, three dimensional objects.
