Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing authentic items from Sao Paulo's production suppliers to Rio's antique dealers for your Brazilian production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Brazil, this role draws on an extraordinarily diverse cultural landscape—from the colonial heritage of Salvador and Minas Gerais to the contemporary design scenes of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify every required prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking continuity across scenes.
We connect you with Brazilian props masters who have established relationships with prop houses in Sao Paulo and Rio, artisan workshops in the northeast, and specialty vendors across the country. Our network includes professionals experienced with period colonial settings, favela-set contemporary dramas, Amazon-region productions, and large-scale international shoots taking advantage of Brazil's varied landscapes.
