The newly rebranded Prop Store are making their third consecutive San Diego Comic Con appearance this year. Their exhibit and original props and costumes are displayed in increasingly impressive fashion, and attract a constant flow of attendees as well as media coverage. Video interviews and discussions of the pieces and news will follow in a few days, including a close look at a fantastic new glossy brochure with information about the company, what they do, and highlights of some of the pieces from the store and within the collection. Below is still photography of the pieces on display. Prop Store will also be an exhibitor at next month’s Star Wars Celebration in Florida.
One very ingenious use of technology, which will be one of the segments in the upcoming video interviews, is the adoption of an iPod to create a highly interactive exploration of one of the props on display, a Grail Diary from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The Prop Store team photographed the pages within the original prop book (on display behind glass) and made a “hands on” interactive display adjacent to it, so attendees can literally page through and even zoom in and out of the pages without harming the genuine piece.
