HOLLYWOOD From Below the Line: A Prop Master's Perspective Steven
M. Levine, a veteran Hollywood property master, through both
humorous recollections and poignant stories, not only takes the
reader onto a Hollywood set as a crew member but is also hugely
informative about the art department and props in particular-any
item handled or used by actors during the filming of a show. Once
awakened to the world of props, the reader will never watch films
or television shows the same way again. The reader will gain a
whole new perspective and appreciation for a department, rarely if
ever mentioned, but just as vital to the look and feel of a
production as costumes, make up, set design, etc. The book explains
what property masters do, how a script is "broken down", why props
must be thoroughly researched, how the prop master interfaces with
other departments, and how to deal with the inflated egos he or she
will certainly encounter. He also opens up about the toll that
14-16 hour days and being away on location for months at a time can
take on a family. In this "Entertainment Tonight" kind of world,
"HOLLYWOOD" immediately catches the readers' eyes and attention,
making them want to find out "what about Hollywood?" HOLLYWOOD From
Below the Line is not a mainstream phrase normally associated with
the word HOLLYWOOD, so it peaks the reader's curiosity. The
subtitle, A Prop Master's Perspective lets the readers know that
they are going to hear something different and unique about
Hollywood. The Foreword is by Emmy Award winning actor and former
prop master assistant, Michael Badalucco. There are 26 photos with
captions/descriptions in this book, including photos of Tanya
Tucker, Lilly Tomlin, Ron Howard, Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens).
"Steven clearly shows how vitally important props are to an
actor-and to a film. His book is full of amazing information,
anecdotes, and details only an insider would know. This is a
wonderful, personal view of an often-overlooked, rarely written
about, fascinating part of show business. My personal favorite is
the chapter on Pee-wee's Big Adventure! " - Paul "Pee-wee Herman"
