New Zippo ‘Walk Of Flame’ Video Features Marvel’s Prop Master Russell Bobbitt

A new video has been released exclusively on IMDb featuring Hollywood Prop Master Russell Bobbitt who lifts the curtain revealing the magic of movie making and documenting Zippo‘s legacy in Hollywood. Bobbitt, Marvel Entertainment’s Head Prop Master for the last 30 years, is responsible for acquiring, designing, and manufacturing the objects the wind up in in the hands of Hollywood’s biggest names. In the video, Bobbitt takes viewers behind-the-scenes on LA’s leading prop house that holds over one million items in its inventory. As he takes us on a tour through the location he explores the critical storytelling devices that drives plots forward, his most famous creations and reflects how the Zippo lighter became a prop in over 2,000 film appearances. A prop is a way to create depth, and flesh out the character. Nothing is accidental – every item placed on set should enhance the audience’s understanding of the story.

Here’s Your Chance To Own A Movie Prop From Rob Zombie’s Halloween

For many horror fans, one thing ranks up there with meeting a film’s cast or director, and that’s owning a piece of movie history, a prop used in an actual film. It’s rare that a fan actually comes across an item from a movie they love. It’s even harder to find a piece that you can actually afford. Most pieces come from action companies like PropStore, which holds both auctions and direct buys. Sometimes, you can find items on Ebay, but those can be hard to authenticate. It isn’t often that directors actually advertise pieces. But that is exactly what rocker/director Rob Zombie is doing this very moment with the masks from his 2007 Halloween film. Remember that scene with Michael Myers in his room in the asylum, with his walls covered in those handmade masks? They’re up for sale! You have 9 days to bid or outright buy them from Zombie.
