Lately, I’ve noticed some interesting parallels between prop making and personal style especially when it comes to attention to detail. Both involve crafting something visually compelling, whether it’s a weathered sci-fi blaster or a polished everyday look. For those who dabble in both worlds, how do you see them influencing each other?
For example, I’ve picked up weathering techniques from prop work that actually help me distress leather jackets or age accessories for a more lived-in vibe. On the flip side, understanding fit and silhouette from tailoring has made me more intentional about how props sit in a character’s hand or on a set. Anyone else find these skills crossing over in unexpected ways? Curious to hear your thoughts!
