- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Adam checks out a rare model survived from the production of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey--an art department maquette of the beautiful EVA Pod that's prominently seen in the film. Post restoration, the details of its construction and use are made evident, from the hand cut pattern lines to pencil marks that helped the designers refine its shape and design. What a awesome piece of film production history!

Check out the props and costumes from Propstore's upcoming auction: bit.ly/propstoreliveauction
Really luv the "Krull'" type mechanism if that was non science fiction,and not a prop then i don't even think it would be even still ten properly appreciated except for people's like on Tested & the brilliance of Myth Busters. Really it's Just the genius at work in the smithing in the ways of our teachers and trial and error by Adam and great minded genius. Simply put these designs never fail and are never/rarely succeeded by a better design, they're Just so timeless. Good work-
@Adam Savage's Tested
So stoked.
I'm not sure if that's a real reply from tested or not ! (?)
@Adam.. do you see this youtube BS!!... ""deprecating .. sorting... oldest video at the channel level.....you can still view oldest of a channel, by scrolling through it’s content’" ......... so i can't go continue re-watching you old vids.. without an hour of scrolling......I was giving you revenue watching 20 or 30 videos at he day... now.. nothing.. i leave........ you guys should complain about this bullshit also..
Thanks 👍 you guys abzolutely inspire, bring the fun and keep our old minds and the young ones too, u haven't forgotten about te youngest inventors Goldfever! #Tested
I like to imagine that Kubrick was inspired to include the helmet breathing effect when he first tried on the finished helmet and was struck by the loud sound of his breathing and how that was all he could hear while wearing it and thought, "That's cool, Im going to put that in the movie!"
This latest batch of prop store vids has been an all-star lineup for me.
Same. And every one will go WELL outside my price range :(
But fascinating to see.
My God... It's full of stars.
Take a look at the whole auction, there are props being sold from many legendary movies.
I was going to comment similarly, they're knocking it out of the park with this last lot. I'd buy all of it.
The costumes, let alone the props themselves. I swoon, absolutely stellar catalogue.
While I really enjoy watching these Prop Store videos I can't help but wonder - how weird does it feel to greet each other repeatedly for what I can only assume was one exciting afternoon just so that every video has its "Hey Stephen, great to see you again" "Hey Adam, glad you're here" :D
always thinking the same :D
Yeah got a bit strange watching them back to back. Maybe could have staggered them but posible they wanted all the vids out before the auction to raise awarnes
Always a pleasure to watch Adam and his friends get together. ❤️
I hope these videos never stop coming
This has been my favorite series so far. For numerous reasons, but let’s start with the obvious two.
- It preserves Adam’s uncanny eye for technical and engineering detail, still explaining the thought process behind even the most minuscule of detail added to these pieces.
- Meanwhile, it similarly allows both us and, of course, Adam himself, to absolutely geek the fuck out over how insanely lucky we all are some of these pieces made it this far, and how beautiful they are, sometimes even in their slapdash simplicity.
Hope there’s plenty more visits to Prop Store’s various locales soon. It puts a smile on Adam, and the viewer’s face.
Adam as always. I am so jelly. You get to see so many amazing things. TY so much for sharing it with us.
“I’m sorry Adam, but I’m afraid I can’t let you take that home with you. Stop, Adam. Take a stress pill and think this over. Stop, Adam.”
"Adam, stop McKellening the props! At least wait until my back is turned."
h a
[O]
I'm so glad you where able to talk about this
This is a fascinating item. I would totally bid on it if I had the money to get it. I love 2001 and found the items that Propstore has of it to be really quite amazing!
Good effort all for still hitting the 'and the auction is online now' points on every single one of these videos. I love how clearly both of you are having a great time, one exploring for the first time and the other getting to show Adam things he knows he'll love :D. How satisfying.
Videos like these make me happy that this platform exists. While most of these artifacts are going into private hands, these videos give the rest of us a peek into such valuable pieces of cultural history. And what a better host for that than someone like Adam, who not only has a lengthy experience on the subject matter, but also an endless sense of wonder and enthusiasm, something that we could always use more of these days.
Adam
I love your vids, your approach to your work, attention to detail and professionalism, well done mate you seem like a very nice human being. Pleasure to support you even though sci-fi is not my bag, loved the video on the light saver never known anyone take your patient response when having to make an intricate machined part again well done Adam
Keep entertain his us.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I saw they have the PanAm rocket model in the auction. It's 6' long and lighted! Also it's in LA rather than London. Would have been great if Adam got to go see it - unless he did when he got back to Cali... Such a ground breaking iconic movie.
These items are great, i love that you're showing mostly old stuff, the real classics and deep cuts.
So, now i only need a couple of million bucks.
Adam you deserve this one you should get it.
Adam should build his own replica. That’d be awesome!
*are you saying Adam should build a live sized hyper realistic replica of himself?...that would in fact be very awesome in a very geeky way*
@@scottmantooth8785 Doesn't he have one already? I think we saw him use it in a spacesuit build.
@@harbl99 *could be right about that one... had forgotten about that (i'm old so the brain more easily slides towards the wonky end of the spectrum more frequently than i'd like to admit)*
@@scottmantooth8785 No, I didn't mean that. But now that you mention it...
Really enjoy these indepth prop reviews. Please more of this, with longer videos. More detail.
These props are always great!
Loving these vids and drooling over the auction catalogue items, wishing I could afford any of them or at least see one up close. Then about 4 hours ago I was out driving and two cars which were obviously from Mad Max, currently filming about 15 minutes from me away in Sydney, went straight past me on the back of a car loader. Weird.
What a rare find!
I saw it when it first came out with my dad it is one of my favorite SciFi movies as well and turned me on to Stanley Kubrick.
Talk about frickin' rare. Originals from that masterpiece are very, very few and far between.
Thanks Adam
WOW, on top of SK’s fridge. Great video.
Too funny....I've watched all the videos you've posted from the Prop Store in London and you start every video like you just met Lane and it's the only video your making and your so surprised. Ha....you recorded all of them at the same time! It's all good..but funny. 👍👍
I just want to hear Stephen Lane say “Bond, James Bond”… I mean his voice his charm and swag. Perfect candidate
MOAR!
Sometimes the smallest of gifts can bring forth the biggest of prizes.
I want Adam to buy it all, show it off and then add to it, all shown on video. How amazing would that be.
Adam have you ever came across the original Robocop suit from the 80s?
This video in particular feels like an Antiques Roadshow episode, haha
I hope you looked at and filmed in regard to the blade costume/sword.
Astonishing.
The Space Station V prop was famously dumped in a field in the UK and left to rot. There are pictures of it just lying there in the bushes.
The artifacts, and stories about them, are cool. But hearing stories about how to present/display the artifacts are just as cool.
I'm still really hoping we get to see the man with no names poncho up close.
In the Taschen book mentioned in the clip (I own a copy) the pod is only shown standing on a table with its backside towards the camera. No arms can be seen on the prop.
Cheers 🍺
Cool work
"Where does he get those wonderful toys?"
Nice Video thanks.
What is that poncho from, just to the left of Adam? It looks great and I want one!
It's Marty's from Back to the Future 3.
@@sweetchristmas101 Ah! The one I haven't watched countless times. Thanks! I can rest now.
So might be a stupid question. Why weren't these made out of foam instead?
Surely must have made it easier to prototype?
Yes, the black and white pictures someone was lucky enough to take of the remains of Space Station V (Bascially just the central core and spokes) dumped without a care onto the ground at a local dump near Stevenage in the early 70's are a reminder of Kubrick's 'policy'. The photographer was indeed lucky to snap those images, its decaying form overgrown with grass and weeds, as a few days later local kids smashed up what remained of the model and so that piece of cinematic history was gone forever.
That’s the one bummer with props is that a lot of them end up in the dump. If only production studios auctioned/ sold them off. Than at least they’d be treasured in someone’s home rather than get picked away by bugs and seagulls.
When I was 12 I got that 3rd issue of Starlog and maaan i so wanted to grow up and go to work for that new company ILM.
I want to see Adam build a Battlemech. From Atlas to Marauder, Madcat/Timberwolf to Urbanmech.
These aren't props. They're cinematic artifacts.
I've seen some old pictures of the big wheel space station just sitting and rotting out in a field somewhere.
A "one day build" Adam. An all wood 2001 pod.
How many people could have retired by intercepting that load of movie props headed for the dump all those years ago? Crazy!
Nice.
I read somewhere that Kubrick purposely had the props destroyed because he didn't want other films or TV shows reusing them as that would devalue the appearance of the models in 2001 so I'm skeptical that he simply didn't want to pay for storage costs as these models would easily find good homes as did this piece. I wonder whether Kubrick was okay with having replicas made & used in the sequel 2010 which had absolutely nothing to do with him?
Somewhere is HAL 9000 memory bank room. With blocks of acrylic, which you can push in and out,.
Please look at The Phantom suit 👍
Thanks for showing those nice film props.
This stuff should not being sold of to just an individu :( It should go to a museum of some kind.
😍🤩🤨😢😭😢😠😡🤬😱🤤🤔😞😖
What happened to the full size pod that was in the junkyard in Star Wars?
Wow, amazing. It's funny to think that all these artifacts were just junk to be disposed of at the time.
It makes sense, if they where nevery going to shoot with them again why bother keeping them. They had served their purpose in the eyes of the studios and the directors.
Nice
The story that I always heard was that Kubrick had the 2001 models destroyed because it was common practice to reuse models in later films to save money, and he didn't want that. So it's interesting that Steven tells a somewhat different story here.
I think it makes sense though, if Kubrick didn't want the studios to own the models, he would have had to store them himself. It was probably before there was a strong collector's market for these sorts of things, so if he got tired of paying for storage then destroying them would have been his easiest option. Although, I also wonder if he felt that seeing the ships on display as models would have cheapened some of the impact of the film's special effects. Either way, as much as I would love to see the actual filming models today, I have to admit it would have been sad to see them recycled in the flood of cheap sci-fi films that came a decade later in the wake of Star Wars' success.
As depressing as it is, you have to appreciate the size of some of those "miniatures". The model of the discovery was absolutely massive. So of course Kubrick couldn't pay for that amount of storage, and the studio probably thought this stuff was useless. I don't know where this "Kubrick destroyed everything" theory even came from though, because the truth had been known for nearly 40 years. The team that made 2010 tried to find the original models, and that's when they discovered what happened. They actually had to recreate the discovery from studying blown up stills and photos from 2001. Now the question is what happened to the replica from 2010 heh.
Still pains me to think of those 3 full size space pod props that sat in the pod bay set during filming... only to end up smashed to pieces by someone ordered to dispose of them. You'd figure at least one would've been appropriated by someone recognizing the value. "2010: The Year We Make Contact" production team recreated one of them and it wasn't quite right.
I'd heard that Kubrick ordered everything destroyed to ensure than nothing would be reused in some B movie, to recoup the costs of 2001.
By now, we know that is an exaggeration and misinterpretation of what really happened - as a trip to a Kubrick exhibition proves. 😺
3D scan that thing !!!
Make the model available for enthusiasts (at a price) and donate the money to some preservation project ;)
My god, it's full of wood!
THEY HAD TO RECREATE ALL THE PROPS FOR THE SEQUEL, 201O.
I wonder if adam has ever had a stalker before and how he handled it.
No that is incorrect sir!. Stanley ordered everything destroyed: blueprints, molds, and models, because he did not want them ending up in some other b grade sci0film film. That why for the 2010 movie everything hadto be made from reference photos. This know history that is covered on the 2010 Blueray. How could you not know this? That model only survives because someone rescued it from destruction.
I’m afraid I can’t let you do that
Can't you wait until I win powerball?
if this were mine. i would replace the arms, using Kintsugi
Aren't these props techinically owned by the studio since their money financed them?
Short answer is it depends (some crew work on more of a rental basis and retain ownership, or they receive pieces as gifts), though it often is technically grey, especially when an item was saved from the bin. Generally, studios don’t go after material many years following production, and they usually only succeed when a piece is documented as having been stolen from set, such as an item that went missing midway through the shoot. Some properties are more touchy than others and require particular caution - WB with Harry Potter, for instance - and it’s always the best practice to research the provenance to feel confident that an item was obtained legitimately (more-or-less), but studio claims are rare.
@@Thomas_Esson cheers fella :) I was just wondering as we are in the age where companies hold their IP sacrament.

I have an original carving of an Englishman sh hero Explorer that back in the day of late 1600s these Aristocrat Heroes were the peeples real life super Heroes. They considered bringing ashore a never before seen pineapple and producing this to common or even royalty made them real life super men. Like no one else would be abled to achieve the same as long as they had no access to their own production of arms weapons ships Armada. I found a batman doll was only 15 of them left in the world from like 1971 i think it was and my dog got to it and batman didn't survive. My puppy was super doggie
Stop it.. you can't keep doing this to me.. I don't have enough organs to sell to buy everything shown lately.
Why are all of these priceless relics going to be auctioned off to wealthy collectors? They are just as much a part of our heritage as any other piece of art, and should be in a museum.
It’s a double-edged sword. As much as it might be wonderful for every iconic piece to be displayed and cared for by a museum, these sales are almost entirely responsible for prompting museums, studio archives, and (very gradually) the general public to finally see enduring value in the preservation of original props and costumes. If it wasn't for private collectors tracking things down and creating a visible market over the past few decades, much of what is held today in museums and archives would have either been tossed or remained boxed up in warehouses/attics.
This 2001 piece wouldn't have survived if not for the private home it ended up in (and has been in this whole time). And it may very well go on loan or eventually be donated to a museum now that Propstore is bringing it to the wider world's attention for the first time - quite a few collectors do that. But it's hard to expect everyone who's saved this stuff (or anything of value) to just give it away out of the pure goodness of their hearts.
It's essentially the same situation as in the fine art world - things start in the private sphere, and slowly migrate into museums. There are just fewer institutions with fewer resources collecting this stuff - without sufficient space to take everything - due to still very low public interest. The average person views this stuff not with reverence but rather with near-complete indifference, and until that changes, private collectors are going to pick up the slack.
@@Thomas_Esson I'm going to be completely honest. With all due respect I completely 100% disagree with absolutely everything you just said.
Movies are the form of art that without question most people are able to connect with and enjoy, moreso than virtually any other medium. I live in DC and occasionally the Smithsonian features movie props in the American History Museum, and these pieces are without a doubt massive draws. Years later the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz are always surrounded by crowds, to the point that this one object requires its own room. To say that people would look at hero props from beloved movies like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or the MCU with complete indifference is almost comically ignorant of reality.
Furthermore, if the justification is that the sales of these props go to finance the prop collections that are on display, well then that is a horrible mismanagement of priorities. The props on these videos are the well-known, famous props for timeless movies that are the ones that belong in the museums. Selling these to finance lesser exhibits is like selling the Mona Lisa to finance the display of obscure modern art.
You would also think that the art world would be equally niche. When's the last time that you've heard a crowd of average Joe's talk about 500 year old paintings by lesser known artists? And yet large museums all over the world who display these pieces are profitable even without famous pieces. Nothing will ever convince me that a large museum filled with famous movie props would be unable to remain similarly profitable.
@@chrisnicholson2407 Quick tip: maybe not the most polite to say “with all due respect” and then label someone’s statement ignorant of reality. There may be more to the statement than meets the eye. And the line “nothing will ever convince me that __” doesn’t exactly invite discussion.
But, those points aside…
While movies are indeed widely beloved, that doesn’t necessarily translate to appreciation for artifacts beyond the very top-tier pieces. NMAH’s Ruby Slippers are in a category unto themselves at this point, and unfortunately a misleading benchmark for the state of public interest. They’re like the Mona Lisa. And there was quite a bit of buzz earlier this year around a supposed ANH Han Solo blaster (even though its provenance was mostly paper-thin). But the current average person’s interest tends to drop off fairly quickly. Not everyone’s, of course - as I said, it’s gradually grown, and there are a half-dozen to a dozen medium/large museums that feature props and get decent visitation. Yet that pales in comparison to the fine art world, even if you only count 20th and 21st-century art. True, you don’t generally hear average Joe remarking on an old, obscure painting, but if you showed it to that average Joe and asked if it should be in a museum, they’d probably agree. I’d wager they’d be a lot less sure about a - generally speaking - obscure film model, or costume, or weapon. It’s all relative.
I’ve been collecting on the lower end for eight years, and I can count on my fingers the number of people who have expressed any interest whatsoever on the occasions that the subject of my collection came up. I even wore one of my original costumes at Dragon Con and attended a panel entirely devoted to that precise character in that precise film. I raised my hand at the end and alerted the audience of ~100 fans that if they were interested in getting a close look, I was wearing one of the screen-used outfits. How many people approached? Zero. At a later convention, Ripley’s had a display that included a ROTJ Han Solo blaster as its centerpiece (this one with much better provenance). Visiting the booth on the final day, I was informed after a very brief conversation that I could come back and hold the blaster at closing time. Surprised by the invitation, I inquired whether anyone else had expressed a similar level of excitement in the props over the preceding three days. "No," the staff replied, "that's why we offered."
Working out of Seattle over five years, home to Paul Allen’s collection at the Museum of Pop Culture, I experienced remarkable difficulty convincing friends and coworkers to give it a visit. Even when I offered free passes that came with my membership, most just shrugged at the idea. But the city’s fine art museums? No such hesitance. I hope that in my lifetime we will reach a day of widespread acceptance of the value of film artifacts. But we’re not there yet; if we were, there would already be more museums. And some don’t last; London used to have a big museum filled with assorted props; apart from an off-shoot that now displays only Bond memorabilia, the bulk of that museum went out of business.
I don’t quite follow your meaning regarding sales financing lesser exhibits. There are many well-known, famous props from timeless movies currently in museums - both in permanent collections and on loan - and I expect sooner or later a portion of the pieces we’re seeing in these videos will follow suit. Not every masterpiece painting is in a museum (and even those that are can go years off-display). And most masterpieces in museums came from private collectors - sometimes donated, sometimes purchased.
Hope some of this helps. Happy to clarify anything if you wish.
@@Thomas_Esson sorry for the confusion. "With all due respect" was meant because I didn't want to be rude. I appreciate your take and intend no malice, I just vehemently disagree.
You are correct that there are probably not too much interest out there in a museum dedicated to obscure film props, but the ones showed here in these videos; Gandalf's Sword, Indiana Jones's Relics, Superman's Suit, models from Star Trek and Star Wars, even pieces from 2001 are in the exact same league as the Ruby Slippers. These are the same world renowned classic props that in addition to being instantly recognizable and beloved by the majority of people alive today, are also an important part of our contemporary cultural heritage. These pieces are the exact same big-ticket items that do not belong in a millionaire's private collection, but rather in a museum where they can be appreciated by everyone who wishes to see them. We aren't talking about obscure film props here in these videos. We are talking about items that almost every human alive with access to a television has most likely set eyes on at some point. That shouldn't belong to one person.
I've been to a prop museum before. This one is a rather sizable but still relatively tiny private museum right down the street from The Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. There were a couple notable pieces there, but most of it was frankly obscure props from forgettable films, with the occasional cool special exhibit. If that large building on what must be premium real estate can turn a profit for decades showcasing props that don't have wide appeal, I can only think of how popular a museum would be that showcased, let's say, all of the props from the original Star Wars movies or MCU.
What was the screen used costume you were wearing that got no attention? I'd imagine if you were wearing an original screen used Christopher Reeve Superman suit (one of the items featured in this series that is being sold off), you'd get quite a bit more attention.
In a perfect world, I'd like to see a new museum in the Smithsonian that had exhibits for all of the beloved films.
@@chrisnicholson2407 Just realized I forgot to reply - reminded by Adam’s latest video “Ask Adam Savage: On the Destiny of "Important" Film Props Post-Production.”
The original costume I wore was from the Firefly follow-up film Serenity, belonging to the sword-wielding villain “the Operative.” Certainly a far cry from an original CR Superman suit (which no one should be wearing), but the panel was specifically devoted to that character, so the total lack of interest was striking.
I’m all for the expansion of prop museums, but unclear on how you’d propose that acquisition ought to work. If the consignors (who are not necessarily well-off) should have given their items away for free or sold them to museums at a significant discount because they’re deemed too culturally valuable, I’d wonder at what point an artwork crosses that threshold, and how it could be at such a relatively low monetary value. For perspective, the 17 pieces that Adam profiled in these videos sold for a total (including BP) of just over $2 million. A pair of Ruby Slippers would likely sell in the $3-4 million range (similar to the upcoming ET animatronic), and the highest price ever achieved by a film prop is $5 million (for Robby the Robot). These are blips on the radar of the fine art world; paintings make the news when they sell for $20 million, not $100k. This 2001 maquette went for $22k - easily within reach of a large museum by art standards.
It's also worth keeping in mind that many (I’d even venture to say most) high-end private prop collectors - while obviously reasonably well-off - are not mega-rich. Some are, but many have to sell in order to afford new props. You’d probably be shocked by the number of iconic pieces that reside in the basements of fairly modest homes.
Anyway, I hope you’re right about the public’s interest; I’d sure like it to be the case, and I think the potential at least is there. Then again, I spent half a day poring over a wonderfully-curated, massive exhibition showcasing hundreds of MCU props and costumes at MoPop in 2019… and my abiding memory is of having the galleries practically to myself.
Your Savage Apparel is really wickedly cool. Just Savage as s last name i know a local family a old, old friend, last name Savage. They like white bread, lived here for two gens i think. Just Like the Jones. Regular urban neighbors. Ford drivers English or Welsh name? I think!?! No joking their last name is also Savage i didn't think about how cool it could be for a Name coz they always being not savage peeps so it doesn't seem cool to you see someone with the name blowing cars up with Mannequins up n stuff. coz 's. LoL Definitely not. No relation?

"Thanks u guys certainly do. Thanks for making science interesting for the Scientifically gifted Newbies😊🙃😋
I can imagine that the prop company has 3d scanned the living shit out of these artifacts before auction and they are making a second income by toy/collector items companies that want accurate production measurements. At least thats what I would do....
Adam my son whom is now 12 has being watching you since you started. Not the kids shows the back g kids shows some stuff i think Mabey i might not have let him see I'd notice guns were to be used or the buster of a hardcore dude and i thought i may be a little much he might think it was a real person only because sometimes children see the world and interpret life differently to us big kids! Nearly all and most of the Myth Busters Shows Jezz and i have watched wed see it come on and straight away I'd tell Jesse these guys have fire trucks and cranes and trains and car wheels made outta gaffa tape and Jezza was hooked then if he could he'd watch it. Myth busters kids show im so soz i can't think of the originalyth Busters Junior 2.0 i think on the ABC kids learning channel. They were brilliant. They had operation ouch Mythbusters and cool cartoons such as one i remembered falling over laughing with him! Called "Camp big Zombie behinds" really reminded me of Myth Busters in a way. (What an epically wickedly good brain feed. Luv u guys
Thanks) Later after he'd done some productive learning and building. I had to have him build stuff. He was homeschooled mostly coz of a grade four group of kids picking on the youngest kids in the school so that was a shame , but i just love how he sees you guys building , if you do a mistake you can try another way , you can experiment with different mediums like Gaffa tape for car wheels and bike wheels on the kids program. But with the right tools you guys pulled itT off. Sometimes busting a Myth , sometimes confirmed when we definitely thought there'd be no way, and it spurred me on to have a son whom may might enjoy or get the bug for tinkering with stuff solar we are big on anything solar powered. We've got solar panels all over the place! Lego building to see what structures would hold up i believe he could almost build a house frame and almost complete the building without the electric stuff which he probs could but that's what I mean. He knows about important things like strong foundation- & the key stone , gaffa tape, do cars float can you open a car under water i saw u guys do. I was worried . I knew you had the crew there with air but that's !#$!ng scary. I wouldn't want Jezza to try that. He hasn't seen that ep and I've told him if we ever are going to go in water in a car to try opening the windows before the car gets fully inundated because that's what I thought, you had time to open the windows also because if you aren't to widely set.in build you could just either get out the window before car goes under or swim out. You guys didn't mention opening the window , if your going into water everything slows down including being inundated fully!?! U have two huge (and a billion others!) Fans here in Australia whete sometimes we find ourselves been outback mechanics. I don't know if you've ever seen that show? Like I've got a broken car door ATM and my remote control central locking went skewif and won't lock now or I'm completely locked out if i don't leave doors open.

No gaffa on my emoji's page. 🤔 Hmmmm
So Adam.......what didn't you buy? Any chance of some cheaper one off items. For the lesser well off fans.
Where is your hat Adam?
Pretty basic model, yet they try to make it sound like it’s a Michelangelo sculpture.
Insert something smart and funny but not too smart.
Getting kinda tired of Adam shilling for this prop auction… just build something man
I’m sorry, but I find whole thing very distasteful. I love that Adam took the opportunity to show us all these vid clips of all these movie pieces. However, I find the “prop store” and the people who utilize them to be vultures, caring only about the money to be made and nothing else. They find all these wonderful historic pieces and sell them to private collectors and they are never seen again. I would love to them put into a museum instead, where everyone could enjoy them. Just makes me sad. :(
It’s a double-edged sword. As much as it might be wonderful for every iconic piece to be displayed and cared for by a museum, these sales are almost entirely responsible for prompting museums, studio archives, and (very gradually) the general public to finally see enduring value in the preservation of original props and costumes. If it wasn't for private collectors tracking things down and creating a visible market over the past few decades, much of what is held today in museums and archives would have either been tossed or remained boxed up in warehouses/attics.
This 2001 piece wouldn't have survived if not for the private home it ended up in (and has been in this whole time). And it may very well go on loan or eventually be donated to a museum now that Propstore is bringing it to the wider world's attention for the first time - quite a few collectors do that. But it's hard to expect everyone who's saved this stuff (or anything of value) to just give it away out of the pure goodness of their hearts. Just because sellers would like a return on their time, effort and investment doesn't mean that's all they care about; many are insanely passionate for this history, as are people like Stephen Lane and Brandon Alinger.
It's essentially the same situation as in the fine art world - things start in the private sphere, and slowly migrate into museums. There are just fewer institutions with fewer resources collecting this stuff - without sufficient space to take everything - due to still very low public interest. The average person views this stuff not with reverence but rather with near-complete indifference, and until that changes, private collectors are going to pick up the slack.
