Snap!!!

When you have a son who studies film and television production, you quickly realise that your home becomes a prop supplier for his coursework.
Over the year I have had several items removed and then had to drive across London to collect from various locations. It is quite fascinating to learn how the different worlds we see on TV and cinema are created out of ordinary stuff.
One of his friends majored in prop making and copied my hammer for one project. In the film it was used to hit someone on the head but you can't use the real hammer so, a papier mache model is made and substituted for the actual blow. Careful editing makes it look like the real thing.
Anyway - I get to keep the model and here they are side by side. I love how it has be replicated, even down to the torn label on the handle.
