On a serious note, the throwing trick for moss/lichen placement is fantastic! Not sure how I can translate that to table-top gaming terrain, but I'll pitch some ideas.
So cool to see so much detail go into something that we so often never think about. It is pretty wild to think that every time we see a scene...someone or (a group of someones) had to place EVERY item in a room, add every scratch or place every stray item. SO COOL❤️
I worked in props for theater and i can confirm when you surround yourself with cool people you will have fun. And we had way less drama then the actors who were getting in some beef with the stage managers
They're awesome. I watched them turn a modern house with linoleum sidig into a wooden house with wooden siding, all done with paint for the filming of "The Hurricane" with Denzel Washington. 😅
Watching an episode of the original MacGyver series recently, I found a case where a custom-made rock didn't "perform" so well. There was a helicopter coming in for a landing in the background, and a rock in the foreground was shimmying a little bit in the breeze from the rotors.
They needed you all on rock duty for Last of the Mohicans. I remember when my parents first pointed out the wobbcanvas rock. I was just a kid and couldn't believe the rocks were not all real.😂
This was a really gneiss video! Fake boulders are one of the first bits of movie magic I learned about, and I've always had a soft spot for them (ironic). I remember reading an American Girl book as a kid about a young lady in 1914 who loved the movies, and got to go with her uncle (a small-time actor) to the studio as a birthday present, and see how the sausage was made. She was exploring the prop room when her uncle told her to catch a boulder (which she realised as he threw it was made of cardboard). I haven't gotten to work on tv or film yet (I have done a bit of acting on local stages, and a bit of costuming too), but whenever I'm helping the prop and set people out, I love when I get to make fake walls, rocks, and terrain. My favourite one so far was cutting a hole in the stage, and applying sand, plaster, moss, and fake rocks around it to make a grave they could actually lower Ophelia into for a production of Hamlet!
You cut a hole in the stage?! I want to know more. My dance teacher once used a coca cola wash on a slippery stage for pointe shoes and was charged $1,000 for the cleanup. (no one fell during the performance at least).
We love when you CHALK about your job. Your videos hold so much SEDIMENTAL value for us movie buffs.
Sedimetal haha get cause rocks can have iron in it hehe
@@Earlierfour that's not the joke at all
What does chalk have to do with anything
@@zarrowthehorse it’s a sedimentary rock 🤦♂️
@@NotGabe001 it's a joke to me
Don't take that woman for granite, she really rocks at set dec.
You slate that joke

@@MonkeyJedi99 kinda like how some artists fling a paint brush like that to make stars in a painting
@@MonkeyJedi99was thinking the same thing for my miniatures
She sounds like someone who loves her job, and that’s awesome.
You can always tell when a person is talking about a job they love!
She rocks.
Absolutely!!!🤩
I'd say they were rocking it
The real rock stars of the industry
This is pretty much how hobbyists make rocks for dioramas and table top game terrain! Just at a larger scale. Very cool to see the two are so similar!
Never take these people for granite. You rock, Scott
Imagine how fun this job would be if you were stoned
You can tell she loves her job by her stone of voice...
"That was a boulder move!" You're setting the foundation for these artists, Scott. You rock!
Weird film fact - a lot of the scenics I’ve worked with sound EXACTLY like her. They are THE NICEST PEOPLE on earth.
They've amossed a lot of knowledge.
Wood flour and paint, with PVA also
Makes great flocking.
The attention to detail is amazing 💎💯
These are the things that nobody notices in movies but if they're not there they notice it.
Scenics are fantastic! I worked as a paint utility during my first production and was absolutely amazed by their talent.
Art Dept....Best Job Ever!!!
These guys rock.
That's a gem of a boulder❤
Looks like Kirk could crush a Gorn with it...
Blimey! My thought exactly. Saw that rock being held over his head! Then blammo!
If I worked in the film industry, this is the kind of work I would most like to do. 🤩
That’s so cool! Your channels actually helped me learn of ways I can make props for my future films on my other channel! So thank you for that! 😊
Truly the real life magicians, is awesome.
I had never heard of floor sweep compound before...
It's really useful for picking up fine particulates.
So cool to see so much detail go into something that we so often never think about. It is pretty wild to think that every time we see a scene...someone or (a group of someones) had to place EVERY item in a room, add every scratch or place every stray item. SO COOL❤️
At least you can say you met the rock and he was boulder than you thought
I love when you highlight other departments!
That seems really hard to do, but they sure did a solid job
Rock solid
I used to do this. Work with foam. Best job ever! 😎👍🏼
They rock
Me: I need more rock puns! Scott: Your wish is granite!
I worked in props for theater and i can confirm when you surround yourself with cool people you will have fun. And we had way less drama then the actors who were getting in some beef with the stage managers
ROCK AND STONE!
"Makin' moss." A little touch that helps make them look real.
Stargate SG-1 made the best sets on the smallest budget! Maybe RDA Macgyvered it himself.
UGH i love watching people are.good at what they do. And for creatives, learning a new technique is like Batman adding to his toolbelt.
It's not just a boulder, it's a rock, it's a ROCK!! 😭😭😭
I was fortunate enough to work with the San Francisco Opera prop folks. Styrene was always on the menu.
I LOVE CLASTIC ROCKS!!
I love seeing all this kind of stuff!!
As someone who's constantly outside, touching rocks, that lichen looks perfect. Wtf. You all are geniuses!
I want her job so badly! Looks fun! 🥹
That joke rocks! Haha!
Never stop never stopping making these
This is brilliant what she’s doing in the dad joke 😂😂😂😂
*files that away into the folder of all the prop and scenic techniques this channel has taught me*
More please!
You can tell he makes dad/ prop jokes all the time just by their reactions.
*Scott Rock and Roll*
😂😂😂 Sweet! What a great job! How fun!
That rock has a role.
Scott's pun delivery is stone cold.
I love seeing you and all your coworkers doing various stuff on set, this job must 'rock'.
I love to see people having fun at work.
I guess you can say their painting is pretty solid
Lol, I love the faint "ho ho ho", that's how you know that it really clicked.
You guys deserve way more money
THIS is movie magic!
Loving these videos!
I figured they used flocking for the moss but saw dust is definitely cheaper.
Man, she is amazing! That work was rock solid.
I'm gonna keep an eye out for these rocks in the background
Reminds me of the old snl skit about an out-of-shape Hercules... "Perhaps one of these other, smaller, boulders will suffice". 😂
True artists. So jealous this is your job Scott!😂🫶
You will never run out of dad jokes

The f-bomb got me rolling😂😂
Hank Schrader: THEY’RE MINERALS!
That was so wholesome
Rock-n-role.
I like the jokes as much as the tips.
That last guy was like, “new joke acquired”
I will always remember that scene in little house on the prairie where the kid pretended to be a werewolf and lifted the fake rock
I do I get a job as a props guy
that is just brilliant
The laugh at the end tho😅😅😅
That's Art 👌🏻
They needed you all on rock duty for Last of the Mohicans. I remember when my parents first pointed out the wobbcanvas rock. I was just a kid and couldn't believe the rocks were not all real.😂
The solid result of hard work.
Movie magic rocks. With forced perspective you can even use a large boulder the size of a small boulder.
Miniature Builders 🤝 Scenic Artists
Flocking
We will rock your world
Now thats a Boulder i can get behind.
(Nice work)
Sisyphus is gonna love this April Fool’s prank.
I would love to work there doing all that stuff
Seeing these I just think of Star Trek
😂 so true!!!
That looks so fun.
That “oh ho ho” look told me “get the fuck out of here, man” 😂😂
Like a rolling stone…
I wish I knew how you get into this field.

Thank you! This video was very gneiss.
Gneiss work, crew!
That is so awesome! I would run from them in an avalanche! 😂
That peter griffin ahh laugh in the end
Puns for everything

Talk about getting "stoned" on the job😂
My dream job😍
You rock it
Solid information!
