    Props for short film

    Where's a good place to buy props for films? Preferably someplace that isn't too cheap.

    Hi, if its a film about fish I live near a fish market. I'd be willing to charge quite a lot for fish also. Hope that helps..

    What kind of props? Furniture, plants, personal props? If you can be a wee bit more specific it would be helpful.

    you can get the gun frrom toy shops, they are air pellet guns and look real enough for roberies.

    you can pickup a pair of handcuffs at a fetish store in Wanchai or Mongkok, Sino comes to mind.

    wedding ring, that's a tough one. Got to be committed for that.

    Ring

    Go to any of the markets and get a crystal ring for less than a hundred bucks.

    Can get all of that in Mongkok. Gun and possible handcuffs at the airsoft/military stores at the Dundas end of Fa Yuen St, cuffs and possibly ring in the market and ring at Sino Plaza or a tonne of other places around there.

    Fish them, flip them into the tank, film them, and finally, fry them when you are done.
