Helpful info that I’ll probably refer back to
Find as many examples of historic references in the real world as opposed to looking them up online
As scripts get edited they go through different colored pages which are; white, blue, yellow, pink, green, goldenrod, buff, cherry and back to blue
Notes aren’t taken on the script. They’re put in a separate document called a “script breakdown” that can take weeks to put together after combing through the script
Starting at page 167 it shows paper staining methods

Absolutely loved this look into the graphic design teams that support tv and film productions. Annie adds a lot of detail about the process, like when she reads a script, how she breaks down tasks, how much time the team has to complete them and exactly what methods are used for creating real-looking pieces. I was really heartened to find that using the original methods and materials is still the most effective method for creating realistic items.

I first found out about Annie Atkins while listening to a podcast and was blown away by her knowledge and work. When I realized that she had published a book in 2020 I had to purchase it! I love Annie's work and the detail that she puts into making props for films. This book is a must for film buffs, lettering artists, or someone who enjoys obscure knowledge.

I was expecting more tutorials, advice, and tales, but I liked what we got and appreciated Atkins' prop work here!

This book is so well thought out, from the paper selection, dust cover, and design, to the text describing an area of filmmaking few of us have considered. I will revisit this book often.
