hey guys
I've been in the film industry for 20 years, but switched to YouTube during the pandemic with a cocktail show we produce, but that made me want to explore YT themes that I really enjoy, which is film and TV and all the behind the scenes, costumes, props, set and location etc. I can't get enough of that.
And I recently, in the last 4 years stared getting into collecting some prop replicas, and of course, started with the obvious Black Series helmets that started coming out.
And I can't decide, and I keep going back and forth on how "accurate" an ideal prop, for display is. I see the point, and the drive towards having very screen accurate, or prop accurate replicas, but they often look a little shabby. And of course that's because they were made for the screen in a quick fast fashion. So there's something about having these more "idealized" props, that look more like they would "in universe."
I know there's not going to be a definitive answer to this, but what does everyone gravitate to here?
I did a little video on it. I try not to post videos around, but thought i'd share and see what you guys thought?
