Props Masters
Expert props masters resourcefully sourcing and fabricating props in Reykjavik for your Icelandic production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Iceland, this role demands exceptional resourcefulness given the island's remote location and smaller local market. Props masters combine local fabrication skills with efficient international import logistics to deliver everything from Viking-era artefacts to modern props. They 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 Icelandic props masters who have deep knowledge of Reykjavik's production resources and the logistics of remote location work across the island. Our network includes professionals experienced with the Viking and fantasy productions that Iceland's dramatic landscapes attract, contemporary Nordic dramas, and international shoots supported by Iceland's film reimbursement scheme.
