Props Masters
Pro props masters sourcing authentic items from Jakarta's suppliers to Yogyakarta's traditional craft workshops for your Indonesian production.
Here is how this works in practice. A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set sites used during a production. In Indonesia, this role draws on an extraordinary diversity of cultural traditions across the archipelago—from Javanese batik and wayang puppetry to Balinese woodcarving and traditional metalwork. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify each needed prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking scene matching across scenes.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with Indonesian props masters who have relationships with suppliers in Jakarta, traditional artisan communities in Yogyakarta and Bali, and production firms across the archipelago. Our network has pros skilled with period shoots set across Indonesian history, modern Southeast Asian dramas, and global shoots drawn to Indonesia's tropical landscapes and cultural richness.

04.

Deep knowing of Indonesia's varied cultural and religious contexts. Our props masters make sure all items are appropriate and respectful, specific when working with sacred or ceremonial objects from different island traditions.
On Location
Props masters with access to Indonesia's artisan communities, from Balinese woodcarvers and Yogyakarta silverworkers to Jakarta prop houses, sourcing and making for productions across the archipelago.
Here is how the work shapes up. We supply props masters for shoots across Indonesia, drawing on talent and supply networks centred on Jakarta and Bali. Our team scopes the props role around the production: sourcing hero and action props, managing scene matching and multiples for repeated takes, commissioning custom fabrication, and setting up food styling for on-camera meals. A props master here works with an unusual asset, namely direct access to Indonesia's traditional craft communities. We connect shoots with the artisans who can hand-make authentic pieces at competitive rates.
Here is how it adds up. We handle the practicalities that an archipelago shoot demands. This includes inter-island shipping, secure storage across many locations, and the short-term import of pro props through Indonesian customs. Rates are settled in Indonesian rupiah. Our props masters for global shoots communicate fluently in English with the production designer and art director. Indonesia's craft heritage makes it a remarkable place to source and make props.
Here is the run-down. The archipelago's artisan traditions are deep and regionally distinct: Balinese woodcarvers in villages around Ubud and Mas, batik makers in Yogyakarta, silverworkers and metalsmiths across Java, and weavers producing ikat textiles in the eastern islands. Several of these crafts, including batik and wayang shadow puppetry, are recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. A props master working here treats culturally and religiously major objects with care, since items such as the keris dagger or temple offerings carry meaning that differs across Indonesia's more than 1,300 ethnic groups and between Hindu Bali and the wider Muslim-majority country.
The strongest props masters research the specific community a story depicts and make sure that ceremonial and sacred items are handled and depicted with respect on set.
