I had the amazing opportunity to visit The Prop Store located in Hertfordshire with Pete Sheppard (The man whom I had work experience with over the summer of 2023). It was incredible to see all the original props which had been used in the films.
When I visited, they had an exhibition set up ready for auction including several of The Star Wars Collection. One of my favourite props in the warehouse was the bonnet of James Bond's car along with Forrest Gump's running trainers. I can't believe I got to see these props in real life from such famous and favourite films of mine.
The level of detail that goes into the costumes is phenomenal especially since when some of these films were made CGI was not always accessible and therefore was left to the true craftsmanship of the designer and creator. It is somewhere I would definitely recommend visiting if you ever get the chance.
