Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing items from Dubai's global suppliers and Abu Dhabi's cultural resources for your UAE production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In the UAE, this role benefits from Dubai's position as a global logistics hub, providing rapid access to props from around the world, combined with traditional Arabian craft resources and modern fabrication facilities. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify every required prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking continuity across scenes.
We connect you with Emirati-based props masters who have relationships with suppliers across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, from the traditional souks to modern production supply companies. Our network includes professionals experienced with contemporary commercial productions, period Arabian settings, desert location shoots, and the large-scale international productions attracted by Dubai Film and TV Commission and twofour54 Abu Dhabi incentives.
