Comment on Apex Surplus – A movie industry props and parts source

Comments

Have a friend in the props business. He sees AI scene generation software replacing almost all of the physical props business. Props use huge 3D space, racks and shelves 20+ feet high and data bases of lists and photos to show the renter. He has already been impacted, but he is sunsetting his full props business and amassing photo archives, along with the rest. He expects a shift to one time fees for photos

Most prop warehouses have gone out of business lately. It's a shitty business. The prices are sky high because it's so costly to keep all that inventory and you have to keep adding more all the time to keep up with trends, at the same time repairing all the broken and missing shit.

Yes, but Joe asks for damages for lost/broken parts, I agree it is in decline. The days of dirt cheap WW2 warehouses are gone forever.
