Video Prop Selection

OpenLight Films, a trusted video production company based in San Francisco, provides video prop services in the Bay Area and surrounding metros.

Whether you need hand props, set props, set dressing, or all of the above–large or small, we can help you select the best video props for your next video production.

 

Warm apple pie. One ring to rule all. A stolen baseball. Props can be just as iconic as movie characters. This is why selecting video props is important. They can symbolize pivotal moments in a story or connect characters to one another. Props aren’t just background decoration, as most people imagine. When you’re as passionate about video production as we are here at OpenLight Films, you’ll want to plan and choose your video props with great attention to detail. There are generally three types of props:

  • Hand props: props that talents hold or interact with as part of their characterization, like a basketball or a tube of lipstick.
  • Set props: larger props that define the space, such as furniture or a car. 
  • Set dressing: props that provide the finishing touches on a set, like a coat rack by the door or an ashtray on a coffee table. 

Every object in a video is carefully selected to create a cohesive look that aligns with the concept of the video.

Open Light Films can also advise on different aspects of prop selection such as prop rentals, prop carpentry, or unique, specialty props (like fake food), all while keeping a close eye on your budget and timeline. Over the years we’ve procured an eclectic mix of video props to meet all kinds of video production needs, so whatever you’re looking for, just ask.
