Watch a Prop Master eggsplain eggsactly how they created the supernatural eggs scene in Ghostbusters
If you have any interest in the role props play in film and TV – or how they’re created – you are probably already very familiar with Scott Reeder.
Prop Master Scott has a rightly extremely popular social media presence on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok – all with names that are some variation on Scott Prop and Roll.
He explains how props are made and how they’re not necessarily what they seem to be.
Often, there’s an added dad joke.
@scottpropandroll Prop Foam Rubber Concrete Block. This is a stunt prop. It’s not real. #props #movieprops ♬ original sound – Scott Reeder
He recently explained how the visually arresting egg scene in Ghostbusters was made. He combined his eggspert knowledge with several dad jokes, just as a bonus.
