Props















A couple of ideas for props in the cinema shoot. Those retro popcorn containers are proving stupidly hard to source... it seems that only American retailers are willing to provide me with any less than 400 at a time. Does anyone know a cinema in London that uses these?

The opera glasses are a bit of a pain too... easy enough to find but pricey, and everything I buy eats in to the print budget.

But candy floss... candy floss you can rely on.

I bought a plastic one of those in Topshop a few months ago. Although it broke. Have you tried ebay/perhaps you could call up some older theatres in the US (not the main ones as they have their own brand of popcorn boxes) and pay them to send you some?
They'll think you're part of the royal family and will have to go along with it..

Surely you could mock them up in photoshop and fold them into shape? If you only need one or two it's do-able, but if you need loads then probably not!Royal opera house maybe? Course i'm not suggesting you nick 'em, but they might have some old broken ones they'd donate to a deserving student such as your good self!
