a thank you to all who helped with my search for 50s props.

I would have done this on the threads themselves but it was some time ago now and I think the threads will no longer be looked at.

I didn't get chance at the time because i was away working.

so thank you all - it was a bit hectic but we got it all done in the end.

and sorry for doing 'chat'.

How did the production go then joko?

oh, it all worked out well in the end, but i was saddled with a team of reluctant and incompetent assistants who wanted a film credit but didn't want to actually have to do any work for it, and who didn't seem to understand what their job actually was, so it was a bit tiring and stressful, trying to run a department.

the art director had blagged his way into the position and it turned out it was his first job!!

they were more trouble than help as i ended up having to redo things or watch them do it to prevent mistakes, so i may as well have done it myself.

oh well it was their first time on a professional shoot, so i shouldn't be too surprised - its a real false economy getting low paid inexperienced crew in.

but as i say all went well in the end, we got all the props we needed and the rest of the crew and cast were great, really nice people.

I have been told it looks great so far.

thanks again for your help
