I was the Co-Prop Master at my university's Prop Shop in the Department of Theatre and Media Art. I worked on several productions a year, ranging from small scale to large, including a small film and an opera.

This production was my first that included edible props, and the planning and set up for that was a new process. Most notable lesson I learned was how to make shelf stable frothed milk (with soap in a blender!).

This small film was in a collection of films for BYUtv's program, Writers Block. Props for film require different types of detail, given the close up shots not available in traditional theatre. I am credited as crew for this production on IMDB.

The Giver, based on the Newbery winning novel, was a wonderful occasion to assess the simplicity and impact of a prop. With the parameters of iconic, neutral, and without ornamentation, set dressing and props had the ability to progress the storyline without detracting from the message.
